Such lavish box art illustrations have become a hallmark of the game, since copied for the numerous licensed variants which pay homage to Clue. As mentioned earlier, blocking passage of another player prevents them from attaining rooms from which to make suggestions.

There are eight clocks—the first seven drawn do nothing—whoever draws the eighth is killed by the murderer and out of the game. Clue/Cluedo is a digital adaptation based on the official Hasbro board game developed by Marmalade Game Studio for iOS and Android mobile devices as well as Steam and Nintendo Switch.

This Cluedo edition introduces fresh elements, including secret passages and personalized weapon naming. When it comes to getting the whole family involved in an entertaining activity, you can't beat board games. It was simultaneously licensed to Parker Brothers in the US for publication, where it was renamed "Clue" along with other minor changes. In 2008, Cluedo: Discover the Secrets was created (with changes to board, gameplay and characters) as a modern spin-off, but was criticised in the media and by fans of the original game.

As soon as a player enters a room, they may make a suggestion as to the details, naming a suspect, the room they are in, and weapon.

A custom version of the game was also released in the US by Restoration Hardware as Wooden Box Clue with different cover art. Your detective skills are put to the test as you track your deductions in your notepad, using Clue cards to your advantage.
