Cluedo Mobile Reveals 2016 Cast, 1949 Rules

• Cluedo is launching a new character pack with the 2016 versions of its iconic cast.
• You can also play using the original rule set from 1949.
• It includes guidelines for predetermined starting locations and turn sequence.

With countless permutations and editions available, few classic board games have as rich a history as Cluedo (or Clue, depending on where you live)—perhaps only genre giant Monopoly rivals it. Now, you can experience the retro charm of Cluedo in Marmalade Game Studio’s popular mobile adaptation!

Not only is Marmalade introducing the cast from the 2016 version of Cluedo, but players also have the option to use the original 1949 rules. The returning characters—Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Reverend Green, Professor Plum, Dr Orchid, and Mrs Peacock—appear in their 2016 designs, available as part of a premium pack.

As for the retro rules, what changes can you expect in Cluedo? This version reverts several adjustments made for the 2023 digital edition. Tokens begin on preset squares, players take turns in a fixed order, and you can only make one suggestion upon entering a room.

The digital edition of Cluedo clearly reflects a great deal of care, though it also incorporates elements from the popular social deduction genre. At the same time, Marmalade has invested significant effort into consistently updating Cluedo, enhancing it with new levels and more features.

With these updates in place, now might be the perfect moment to dive back in and see if you can finally crack the case.
