With its vast array of permutations and versions, few classic board games boast a richer history than Cluedo (or Clue, as it's known in some regions), rivaled perhaps only by the iconic Monopoly. Now, fans eager to dive back into the nostalgic thrill of Cluedo can do so through Marmalade Game Studios' acclaimed mobile adaptation.

Marmalade is set to launch an exciting new character pack, featuring the 2016 versions of the beloved cast. Players can expect to see the return of Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Reverend Green, Professor Plum, Dr. Orchid, and Mrs. Peacock, albeit as part of a premium pack. But that's not all – for those yearning for a taste of the past, the original 1949 ruleset is also making a comeback, offering a truly authentic Cluedo experience.

What changes can you expect with the retro ruleset? This update will reverse several modifications introduced in the 2023 digital edition. Players will find tokens starting at designated squares, a sequential turn order, and the ability to make only one suggestion per room entry.

The butler did it!The digital edition of Cluedo is a labor of love, blending elements from the popular social deduction genre. Marmalade's ongoing commitment to the game is evident through their continuous updates, introducing new levels and enhancements to keep the game fresh and engaging.

So, why not seize this opportunity to revisit the mystery and see if you can crack the case once and for all?
