【How to Play】
As in the original murder mystery, Clue: The Classic Mystery Game is played in a similar manner. The players play roles in a luxurious manor and are invited to a dinner party; however, the manor owner is murdered just as the dinner party begins. In order to solve the mystery, players must collect clues, eliminate suspects, guess the killer, the weapon, and the crime's location.
At the start of the game, each participant is provided with a number of cards that depict the potential culprit, weapon, and crime scene. Participants can opt to navigate various rooms of the mansion, engage with fellow players, or explore the rooms for additional hints. Once participants believe they have deduced the solution, they can propose their theories and document them in a game center notebook. To enhance the element of chance and difficulty, a unique game mechanism is employed that enables participants to clandestinely listen in on others' theories using a pager, thereby gaining a better understanding of the situation. Furthermore, the game permits participants to temporarily confine others to specific rooms in order to impede their access to clues. Participants will need to skillfully employ their strategic and logical thinking abilities in order to successfully unravel this perplexing enigma.
