Clue has been a fiendishly clever board game for almost 60 years, and this DVD edition adds a whole new level of enjoyment to the deductive fun. Experienced Clue-doers will recognize the floor plan layout of the game board, as well as the cards and character pieces. What they might not recognize this time is the crime: The game’s central intrigue has been downgraded from murder to a more family-friendly larceny. It’s up to players to figure out which of Mr. Boddy’s guests is the thief, which item was stolen, as well as the time and location of the theft. The enclosed DVD serves as game master, with animated butler and inspector characters prompting you with questions and/or doling out clues. It may seem like a gimmick at first, but there are several smart ways in which the DVD makes set-up a snap and games both fair and interesting.
Aside from the bells and whistles, this is Clue. The object of the game is to gather clues without giving away too much information to the other players. Once you feel you’ve adequately sussed out the case, you can test your theory in secrecy through the DVD menu and the special decoder lens. If you’re correct, you’ll get a satisfying detective show round-up of how all the clues work together to eliminate all of the other possibilities. If you’re wrong, you’re going to have to show some of your info to the other players. There are ten different mysteries built into the game plus a general game that is more like the traditional Clue board game. It comes with game cards, decoder magnifying glass, DVD disc, game board, four plastic locks, case file envelope, and 10 suspect pawns. –Porter B. Hall

We were very excited to play with this new game and were unable to get beyond the secret passages.

This game has been modified from the original version, and is not fun at all. The DVD is useless. The instructions are unclear. My daughters and I spent over an hour trying to figure this game out. It is not worth the time or money. Use your money to purchase the original version. That version is a BLAST!

This game is not as fun as the original because it takes too long to play. One game was over 2 hours with 4 people playing. Just as you are starting to figure out the clues, the DVD interupts the game to let everyone know something. We will be giving this game away to make room on the shelf for a game that is more interesting and challenging to play.

I just played two scenarios of this game and both of them the DVD just kept saying the same thing. None of the options available in the menu were available which put the game into an endless and frustrating loop. Both times we just went to the “make an accusation” stage and conmbined our cards to solve it.
COMPLETE waste of money.
