Hasbro Gaming Clue Junior Game

Product Information

In 1985, A dark comedy Clue movie was produced that followed the same formula as the board game with the plot of murder and clues pointing to the culprit throughout the film. One interesting feature of the film is there were three different endings, and the audience chooses which one to use. Stage Version

Main Objective: Explore the different rooms of the mansions to find clues that will tell you who ate the cake, what time they ate the cake, and what they drank with it too. Material shortages and difficulties from the war delayed the sales of the first edition of Cluedo in England until 1949. By this time, the game (now called Clue, with the tagline “The Great New Detective Game”) had already made its debut earlier in 1949 in North America, courtesy of Parker Brothers. Turn the five yellow drink bases facedown, take one without looking, and put it in the center of the gameboard. She is a very dignified, elegant character who commands the room with her presence. In the original version, she even wore a tiara to enforce her royal-like appearance further. Professor Plum Unlike most board games targeting the younger demographic, Clue Jr.: Case of the Missing Pet did not have a strong random element. Like its predecessor, the game is mostly a logic puzzle and a process of elimination. The game includes a “mystery wheel” playing board that moved before each case started. A red magnifying glass enables players to read the clues on the mystery wheel.

Play continues with players making suggestions and crossing off items on their detective’s notepad. A player tries to determine the room, weapon, and suspect. The player can then make an accusation. If correct, the player with the correct accusation wins the game. If they are incorrect, they are out of the game except for trying to disprove suggestions. Recently, I had the opportunity to try the latest version of Cluedo Junior from Hasbro and I really loved the newer design and style of this game. As you may be wondering, the game does not focus on finding a murderer but to locate a missing toy in a playground or the kid that sabotaged a science experiment. And yes, you read it correctly: this version of Cluedo Junior comes with a double side game board offering two different type of games with increasing difficulty. Both versions of the game still retain the same feeling of the classic traditional game while been carefully aimed at younger kids. So, let’s get that magnifying lens out and let’s find some clues. School Hall Or Playground? – Components For The Case of the Missing Cake, the player will need to state who they think ate the cake, what time they did it, and what they drank with it.

Put the character models in their matching game board places. The character model with the crumbs label on their white base is the one that ate the cake. If you land on white, look under the character pawn that you moved if you are playing the cake version. If you're playing the toy version, landing on white allows you to look under any pawn that you want. All were proposed as original characters but rejected from the original version of the game. Doctor Orchid A newer edition of Clue Junior updates the game so that the players are searching for a missing cake instead of a missing pet. That edition is called Clue Junior: Case of the Missing Cake. Someone has stolen and eaten a piece of cake, and it’s up to these junior sleuths to figure out who.

The aim of the game is to solve the mystery by discovering who ate the cake, with what drink, and at what time. On your turn, you can find clues under the white and yellow bases. They could either help you out, or prove to be useless. Keep a note of all your clues on your detective sheet. Rolling the Dice The Cluedo Game Show was a hit in England starting in 1990. Two teams of celebrities watched as actors portrayed the classic Cluedo characters and related clues to the celebrities in character. The celebrities would then try to solve the murder mystery and be the winner of the game. The show lasted for four seasons. You’ll see on the gameboard that there are different types of spaces you can land on. If you roll a number and land on a footprint, your turn is over.
