Play Clue Online

Clue for the Sega Genesis, released in 1992 by Parker Brothers, was one of the few attempts to bring the classic board game into a video game format during that console generation. It arrived at a time when licensed games were common, but this one tried to do something a bit different by turning the murder mystery into a first person exploration game.

You control one of the familiar characters from the board game, moving room to room in a large mansion to find clues and question other suspects. Your main goal is to solve the murder by correctly naming the killer, the weapon used, and the room where it happened before the other players or the game timer runs out. Key mechanics include searching locations for hidden clues, which are then recorded in your notebook, and using secret passages to move quickly across the map. The game can feel slow and methodical, as you methodically check each room and manage your limited turns. It feels like a quiet, tense race against the clock to piece together the evidence before anyone else does.
