With its rich history and numerous iterations, few classic board games rival the legacy of Cluedo (or Clue, as it's known in some regions), aside from perhaps the iconic Monopoly. Now, fans of this timeless mystery game can dive back into the nostalgia with Marmalade Game Studios' popular mobile adaptation, which is set to enhance the experience with exciting new features.

Marmalade Game Studios is gearing up to introduce a new character pack featuring the 2016 versions of the beloved Cluedo cast, including Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Reverend Green, Professor Plum, Dr Orchid, and Mrs Peacock. This pack will be available as an in-app purchase, allowing players to enjoy these updated characters in their mobile gameplay.

In addition to the new character pack, players can now opt to play with the original 1949 ruleset. This retro mode reverts several changes made in the 2023 digital edition, bringing back the classic gameplay mechanics. Under the 1949 rules, tokens will start at predetermined squares, characters will take turns in a fixed sequence, and players will be limited to making only one suggestion upon entering a room.

The butler did it!The digital edition of Cluedo showcases a deep commitment to the game, borrowing elements from the popular social deduction genre while continuously evolving with additional levels and enhancements. Marmalade Game Studios has clearly put a lot of effort into keeping Cluedo fresh and engaging for its fans.

So, whether you're a long-time aficionado or a newcomer to the world of Cluedo, now might be the perfect time to jump back into the game and see if you can finally solve the mystery.
