Cluedo – Treachery at Tudor Mansion

Another version of Cluedo – this time the classic story is in an escape room format for you and all your family and friends to enjoy. It follows the usual Cluedo storyline with a familiar aim: to find out who killed Dr Black, where the murder took place and what weapon was used.

“You and five other guests have been invited to join Dr Black for an evening of fine dining and a chance to discuss some personal business. After dinner, he announces he intends to blackmail you all. Shortly after, the power goes off and you find Dr Black dead! Armed with only your wits, you must escape and determine who killed Dr Black, where they did it and with what weapon.”

Tabletop escape games are getting more and more popular, so I was keen to get stuck in. I will always get sucked into a Cluedo spin-off too, and I am pleased to say I was not disappointed!

Cluedo – The Play

I own four different versions of the Cluedo boardgame, often play Cluedo on the computer, was an avid watcher of the TV gameshow of Cluedo as a child, have seen the eighties movie Clue a billion times, and even read the Clue comic. When I heard there was now a theatrical version of Cluedo touring the country, of course, I bought tickets on the day of release. How could I miss it?

The premise of the play is simple and closely follows that of the boardgame and the eighties film, but is set in the UK….

When Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs Peacock, Reverend Green, Mrs White and Colonel Mustard arrive at a party one stormy evening, they are surprised to find they have all recieved the same intriguing invitation from Mr Boddy. It soon becomes clear that they all have something to hide as the mystery and hysteria grows and the inhabitants of Boddy Manor are killed off with a variety of familiar weapons, leaving everyone to wonder, who will be next!

My dream come true, from the director of The Play That Goes Wrong, this new, hilarious whodunnit ticked all of my Cluedo-loving boxes!
