A Classic Whodunit Reimagined In New Unscripted Series.
Netflix is turning the beloved board game Clue into a fresh and thrilling reality competition series. In this new take, contestants will be pushed to their limits through a series of demanding physical tasks and clever mental puzzles, all in the spirit of solving the ultimate mystery.
Longtime fans of the game can expect to see classic characters like Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlett, and Professor Plum brought to life in this inventive adaptation.
A Must For Every Board Game And Mystery Fan
Clue is one of the most popular and iconic board games in the world. First introduced in the UK in 1949 under the name Cluedo, it was later renamed Clue for its release in the United States. This classic detective game has captivated generations of players who enjoy solving mysteries through logic and deduction.
In the game, participants move through various rooms in a grand mansion, attempting to figure out who committed the crime, with what weapon, and in which location.
The enduring appeal of Clue has already inspired a film adaptation, which hit theaters in 1985 and featured an amazing cast including Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, and Lesley Ann Warren.
Now, the mystery continues in a brand-new format: Netflix is bringing Clue to life once again, this time as an engaging competition series that puts contestants' reasoning and problem-solving skills to the test.
A Real-Life Game Of Deduction And Deception
Hasbro already has a game show based on its Monopoly board game in the works at Netflix, and now the company is looking to expand this collaboration even further. Teaming up once again with the streaming giant, Hasbro is developing a new unscripted competition series based on the legendary mystery board game Clue.
As described by Deadline:
"The series will feature a group of contestants facing physical and mental challenges to collect clues before stepping into a real-life game of deduction and deception. To win, they’ll have to outwit opponents and identify the who, where, and with what of the crime. Guess right and add money to the prize pot; guess wrong and they may be eliminated. They’ll be surrounded by familiar suspects such as Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum and Mrs. White."
With this new take on Clue, Netflix and Hasbro are blending reality competition with classic mystery, bringing the timeless board game to life in a whole new way.
