In the early 1940s, Anthony E. Pratt invented a game called "Murder! " as a way to entertain himself and his fellow Britons during air raid drills. In 1949, the whodunit in Tudor Mansion was officially launched as Clue®, and today the cast of characters that includes Mrs. Peacock, Colonel Mustard and Professor Plum is known around the world. Our deluxe Clue set is cased in a cloth-bound box that looks like a book. Tucked into compartments inside, you'll find a game board, movers, cards and weapons based on the 1949 original edition of this classic murder mystery game.
