Cluedo chronology

In recent years, Hasbro has released a whole line of Cluedo-based boardgames. They each include a storyline that connects them with the other games in chronological order. The games included in this chronology are Cluedo, Cluedo SFX, Cluedo Mysteries, and the Cluedo DVD Game. Hasbro has included character biographies and event history on their website and in the games, adding to the history of the Cluedo suspects and victims.

The chronology provided through the more recent versions of Clue/Cluedo is not the only version of the back story provided to the Clue/Cluedo characters. The 1988 Master Detective version of Clue also provided personal biographies for the 10 characters in that game. To some extent, these biographies mimicked the personal stories and traits found in the two VCR games that were released in the mid-1980s. The VCR games included the same 10 characters as Clue Master Detective.
