Cluedo for mobile introduces 2016 cast and retro ruleset themed after the 1949 original

  • Cluedo is introducing a new character pack featuring 2016 versions of the cast
  • You’ll also be able to play with the original 1949 ruleset
  • It includes rules for set start locations and turn order

Among classic board games, few boast as rich a history as the intricate and versatile game known as Cluedo (or Clue), perhaps only rivaled by the undisputed giant, Monopoly. If you yearn for a blast from the past with Cluedo’s charm, there’s an excellent mobile adaptation developed by Marmalade Game Studios that’s well worth checking out!

Absolutely! In the upcoming release by Marmalade, you’ll get to meet the characters from the 2016 version of Cluedo. If you prefer, you can opt for the original 1949 gameplay rules instead. The familiar faces returning are Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Reverend Green, Professor Plum, Dr Orchid, and Mrs Peacock, but this time in their updated 2016 versions. However, these characters will be available only through a paid expansion pack.

Regarding the traditional ruleset in Cluedo, here’s what will alter: This version aims to undo several adjustments done for the 2023 digital adaptation. The tokens initially land on specific squares, characters take turns to move, and you can only propose one possible location after entering a room.


The butler did it!

The digital version of Cluedo is meticulously crafted, drawing some elements from the widely appreciated social deduction genre. However, Marmalade has consistently updated Cluedo, adding new levels and enhancements to keep it current and engaging.

Perhaps now could be the ideal moment to dive back in and attempt to unravel this enigma completely.
