Clue Suspects

Clue Suspects is a single-player variation on the classic board game Clue, where a player is given a series of clues and must deduce where in the mansion each suspect should be and who is the killer. It was released by Winning Moves Games USA in 2006 but is no longer in production..

Gameplay

Clue Suspects plays more like a puzzle than a true game. Instead of players moving through the mansion to collect clues through guessing, the clue-gathering is essentially already done and printed on a puzzle's card, and what's left is to deduce who the killer is.

The game starts by taking a card (there are 60, numbered 1-60, with the difficulty growing each card) and reading all the clues. The player then places the body token in the room where the clues say it was found, places the suspect pieces listed in the clues next to the game (unless a clue tells you directly which room the suspect was in), and places any unused suspects aside. The player then attempts to determine, based on the clues, which suspects were in which room and which suspect was in the room with the body (making that person the killer). There can only be two suspects per room, helping players to deduce where each suspect was.
