Clue Board Game Quiz – Mansion Rooms, Suspects and Weapons

Clue began in England as Cluedo, invented by musician Anthony Pratt in the 1940s and published by Waddingtons in 1949. Parker Brothers released it in North America as Clue.

Players solve a murder by deducing which suspect did it, with which weapon, in which room. The classic suspects are Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Mrs White, Reverend Green, Mrs Peacock and Professor Plum, and weapons include the candlestick, dagger, lead pipe, revolver, rope and wrench.

The mansion has nine rooms, and secret passages link opposite corners. The victim is Dr Black, called Mr. Boddy in the US. In 2016 Dr Orchid replaced Mrs White, and the 1985 film Clue was released with three different endings.
