Cluedo (2024)

The games good but the character designs are bad and the decor is so ugly. Cluedo is supposed to be old mansion style but the rooms are just so tasteless.

Game keeps making new codes even though I have THE EXACT same one my friend can’t join

With the revolver

Firstly, the good stuff, the score sheet is much improved, you can track who has seen your cards, and I like that you can view the other players score sheets at the end of the game. You can play in landscape mode which is better for iPad players. I like that there are different play style options. The bad stuff, the graphics and animations look very dated and are too long. There are no scoreboards so you can’t keep track of how many games you’ve played, or where you come on the leaderboard like in the original game. The options for character avatars are very limited unless you’re willing to pay a lot of money for content that isn’t available and might never be available. The original game has lots of options for avatars so you don’t see the same ones all the time. If more avatar choices are released, an option to turn off the slow animation, and leaderboards are brought in, then I would be much happier with the game.

The pace in between turns is too slow. There needs to be a ‘fast forward’ option like other games. The general game is very good and accurate to really playing - just speed up the game play

It moves my character through out rounds. I was trying to reach study and kitchen. But it kept moving me everywhere that it took 5 rounds for me to get to the kitchen. Even though I was getting so close after my dice roll, yet on the next round I’d be somewhere else far from where I want to be! It was extremely frustrating

Decided to buy this as I saw the companion app and thought it would work well. My own fault for not reading that the companion pack only works with select platforms and not iOS/ipadOS. For some reason we aren’t allowed local play. Have requested refund, will buy again if local play gets added

Yeah it’s better than the original for the most part.. except when I’m the game you get stuck in certain rooms and can’t get anywhere else (conservatory, ball room, billiard room, or lounge).. tried for nearly 6 turns to get to the study and library and ended up leaving the game. Never that that problem in the original.

Sadly, we bought this and it crashes on the loading screen. Really disappointed.

Not sure it’s much of an improvement, firstly graphics are like a old video game from 20 years ago, the old game had a nice charm about it and was pleasing to look at the rooms and the details in the pictures. Also gameplay seems slow to me, do I really need each character to pop and I say “I can’t help you” it just seems too slow, I just want ticks and crosses to quickly appear, job done! The clue sheet is clumsy, the auto number option is nice but not intelligent enough to not number when there is a tick already there, and also when you place a tick it doesn’t automatically cross the other boxes which is very annoying! And having it landscape makes the clue sheet quite small when playing on a phone, I much preferred it being portrait! It’s a shame you didn’t just make some new themes for the original game and not bother with this new game!!
