Gameplay

Mobygames explains the gameplay:[1]

CLUE Classic is another conversion of the classic board game Clue/Cluedo. Like in the original, three cards are randomly selected showing the murderer, the weapon and the room where the crime happened. The objective is to deduct these cards by moving between rooms, making accusations and analysing the information gathered. The game only supports computer adversaries (up to 5). The interface has a notebook where the clues and cards status can be stored. Badges are awarded for special achievements like solving the case in less than 10 turns or completing a number of cases.

Development

The game was inspired by the artwork in the 2002/2003 Classic Detective Game version, featuring the original six characters, weapons, and nine original rooms.
