Here are some rules and helpful resources for the upcoming Clue Night for any of you that are planning to join in.

At the beginning of play, three cards — one suspect, one weapon, and one room card — are chosen at random and put into a special envelope, so that no one can see them(Except in our version, the Moderator sees all...). These cards represent the facts of the case. The remainder of the cards are distributed among the players.

Players are instructed to assume a token/suspect. Play begins with Miss Scarlet and proceeds clockwise. Players roll a single die(dice) and move along the board spaces accordingly, and entering rooms in order to make suggestions from that room.

The aim is to deduce the details of the murder; that is, the cards in the envelope. There are six different characters, six possible murder weapons and nine different rooms, leaving the players with 324 distinct possibilities. In the course of determining the details of the murder, players announce suggestions to the other players, for example, "I suggest it was Professor Plum, in the Library, with the candlestick." All elements contained in the suggestion are moved into the room in the suggestion.

The other players must then disprove the suggestion, if they can. This is done in clockwise order around the board. A suggestion is disproved by showing a card containing one of the suggestion components (for example, Professor Plum) to the player making the suggestion, as this proves that the card cannot be in the envelope. Showing the card to the suggesting player is done in secret so the other players may not see which card is being used to disprove the suggestion. Once a suggestion has been disproved, the player's turn ends and moves on to the next player.

The player's suggestion only gets disproved once. So, though several players may hold cards disproving the suggestion, only the first one will show the suggesting player his or her card. A player may only make a suggestion when his or her piece is in a room and the suggestion can only be for that room.

Once a player has sufficiently narrowed the solution, that player can make an accusation. According to the rules, "When you think you have worked out which three cards are in the envelope, you may, on your turn, make an Accusation and name any three elements you want." Players may name any room (unlike a Suggestion, where a player's character pawn must be in the room the player suggests).[8]

The accusing player checks the validity of the accusation by checking the cards, keeping them concealed from other players. If he has made an incorrect accusation, he plays no further part in the game except to reveal cards secretly to one of the remaining players when required to do so in order to disprove suggestions. Also, according to the rules, "If, after making a false Accusation, your character pawn is blocking a door, [you must] move it into that room so that other players may enter." Since a character pawn can only block a door by being outside of a room, this clearly demonstrates that the character pawn need not be in any room to make an Accusation. If the player made a correct accusation, the solution cards are shown to the other players and the game ends.

It is possible for a player to be using the piece representing the murderer. This does not affect the game play; the object of the game is still to be the first to make the correct accusation. If the game is played with two people, the process of elimination diffuses the same information to both players. Such a game tends to pass quickly. All editions of the current version of the game are advertised as a three-six player game only. Traditionally, the UK version was advertised for two-six players.

There are six distinct characters to choose and accuse from:

Miss Scarlett (a red piece)
Colonel Mustard (a yellow piece)
Mrs. White (a white piece)
Mr. Green ( a green piece)
Mrs. Peacock (a blue piece)
Professor Plum (a purple piece)


There are six distinct weapons from which to choose:
Candlestick
Dagger (A Knife)
Lead Pipe
Revolver
Rope
Spanner (Also known as a wrench)

There are nine rooms from which to choose:







When you enter the Clue Map from the base; you are in the Hall.

Study has a secret room to the Kitchen
Kitchen has a secret room to the Study
Conservatory has a secret room to the Lounge
Lounge has secret room to Conservatory

If you enter the secret room on your next turn you may go straight to the other room.
