With its rich history and numerous iterations, it's tough to find a classic board game more iconic than Cluedo (or Clue, if you prefer). The only game that might come close is the legendary Monopoly. Now, fans of this timeless mystery game can dive back into the nostalgia with Marmalade Game Studios' acclaimed mobile version.

Marmalade is set to enhance the experience with a new character pack featuring the 2016 versions of Cluedo's beloved cast, including Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Reverend Green, Professor Plum, Dr Orchid, and Mrs Peacock. This exciting addition will be available as a paid pack, allowing players to enjoy the updated characters in their digital adventures.

But that's not all! Players can also opt to play using the original 1949 ruleset, reverting some of the changes introduced in the 2023 digital edition. Under these retro rules, tokens will start at predetermined squares, characters will take turns in a set sequence, and you'll be limited to making just one suggestion after entering a room. This nostalgic twist promises to bring back the classic Cluedo feel that many fans cherish.

The butler did it!The digital edition of Cluedo showcases a deep passion for the game, while also borrowing elements from the popular social deduction genre. Marmalade's ongoing commitment to enhancing Cluedo ensures it remains fresh with new levels and features.

So, whether you're eager to solve the mystery with the latest characters or prefer the charm of the original rules, now might be the perfect time to dive back into Cluedo's world of intrigue and deduction.
