Clue (mobile games)

There have been two distinct mobile adaptations of the Hasbro board game Clue (known as Cluedo outside North America).

Clue provides support for single player, against the AI and multiplayer with people around the world online or offline.

BoardGameGeek said: "Overall, it is well-polished and well done if you want to play a quick game of Clue against the AI, but there is no multiplayer and no pass-and-play, so it is limited in many respects".

Successfully making a correct suggestion within the allotted time gave the player the maximum 4-star score for the level.

Within about a week of Movieclips and ActionScript we could navigate in the mansion, talk to suspects, search objects and use the core annotation tools.

We were very satisfied and confident this would work so I went back to my desk and started to write the famous Game Design Document.

We created a level design tool so I could integrate all the scenarios and puzzles, while supporting our external writer.As of 2014, EA removed Clue from the App Store along with several older titles.

[10] AppSpy gave the game the highest rating of 5, praising the "great visual style and artwork", the ease of "controls and screen navigation", and the "challenging puzzle game" elements, while criticising it for being single player only, and that "this reinvention of Clue is a definite change from the original and may take some time to get used to".

It takes a timeless game concept and makes it fresh without sacrificing any of the fun...Clue fans looking for straight port may be disappointed, but this reinvention is brilliantly clever and provides hours of sleuthing".
