Pratt, an English musician and factory worker, recalled the murder mystery games played by some of his clients at private music gigs as well as the detective fiction popular at the time, most notably Agatha Christie. Holed up in his home in Birmingham, England during air raids on the city during World War II, Anthony E.

3.2 Clue/Cluedo: The Classic Mystery Game.

Cluedo: The Classic Mystery Game was then introduced in 2012, returning to Pratt's classic formula but also adding several variations. In 2008, Cluedo: Discover the Secrets was created (with changes to board, gameplay and characters) as a modern spinoff, but it was criticised in the media and by fans of the original game. The original game is marketed as the 'Classic Detective Game', and the various spinoffs are all distinguished by different slogans. Several spinoffs have been released featuring various extra characters, weapons and rooms, or different game play. Numerous games, books, a film, television series, and a musical have been released as part of the Cluedo franchise. Each player assumes the role of one of the six suspects and attempts to deduce the correct answer by strategically moving around a game board representing the rooms of a mansion and collecting clues about the circumstances of the murder from the other players. The object of the game is to determine who murdered the game's victim, where the crime took place, and which weapon was used. Since then, it has been relaunched and updated several times, and it is currently owned and published by the American game and toy company Hasbro. The game was first manufactured by Waddingtons in the United Kingdom in 1949. Hell, you'll have a better time playing Ludo.Cluedo ( / ˈ k l uː d oʊ/), known as Clue in North America, is a murder mystery game for three to six players (depending on editions) that was devised in 1943 by British board game designer Anthony E.

The graphics and audio are not especially impressive. The two most eccentric characters are played by the two best-known actors in this cast, Joan Sims and John Standing. (Shouldn't the location of the body indicate the murder scene?) Because this is a video game, designed for repeated replays, there is no single 'correct' solution. The players must determine who committed the murder, with what weapon, in which room of the house. All of them join forces to solve the murder, apparently unconcerned that the murderer will queer the investigation. Each of his guests (as well as the butler) is a possible suspect. This video version has the same premise as the board game. As Ludo was never popular Stateside, the Yank version of Cluedo was cried 'Clue'.

When the murder-themed board game was invented, it was named 'Cluedo' in Britain to rhyme with 'Ludo'. Ludo is probably the best example of an absolutely generic board game: it consists of counters moving along squares on a board, with no specialised theme as there is in Monopoly or Risk. In the early 20th century, there was a very popular board game in Britain called 'Ludo', from the Latin for 'I play'.

In the British version of this game - which actually pre-dates Parker Brothers' American version - the same character is named Reverend Green. One of the characters in this game is named Mr Green, as in the American board game. Although retaining the British name for this video version, and using a British cast, the producers seem to be making entente with American video gamers. 'Cluedo' is a video game based on the famous Parker Brothers board game, which is called 'Cluedo' in Britain but 'Clue' in America.
