Clue - The Playable Mystery Game (Aka Cluedo)

One thing I get asked at LEGO Shows is if this is the same size as the original game board. It is! Sort of…

the game board is basically 32 squares by 32 squares….which is the same as 4 baseplates using a 2x2 tile. I purposely brought the space in 3 studs as I wanted to build exterior walls to the building. I wanted the game board to be more three-dimensional as opposed to flat - which would make it more “LEGO” and separate it from other board games.

Now, that’s a large space. If I reach 10k and get selected, I think an option for this Idea would be to make it in Microscale using the trophy figures as the game pieces. A supporter suggested the Microscale idea and I think it was a good one.

additionally, I have printed out the cards needed to play the game. Those would be included in the set as well.

Just a couple of random thoughts as we approach 9,000. Thanks again for everyone’s support!

As we get closer to 10,000 supporters, I continue to tweak and modify. I moved the Conservatory to the back switching it with the Study. I initially put the Conservatory in front on purpose as a design decision to break up the front of the house and add some different windows. I knew this wasn’t consistent with the game board but I felt it was time to rectify the design.

Big thanks to everyone who has supported and commented so far! It means so much to me.

Coming soon - I'm going to move the Conservatory to its correct place on the board. When I initially built this, I visually liked seeing the Conservatory in the front of the house, knowing this was the wrong spot. But in order to have a correct layout, I'll being making that switch over the next week or so. I'll post updated photos once done.

Thanks to everyone who have supported this submission!

Hi Everyone!  It’s been a while since I did an update so I wanted to make some big changes.  When I first built the game board I did so from memory knowing I was probably off from the actual game board.

So…I made the following changes:

I do have another change that needs to be made in the future.  I need to take the Conservatory in the front right and switch it with the Study in the right back.  I’ll save that for another update.

Thanks for all of your support so far!

Thanks for all of your help in crossing 2,000! So what should we do to celebrate? Let’s add more weapons. My initial idea was to incorporate only the original weapons of the game. But since this is LEGO, there should be at least one iconic LEGO Minifigure accessory included as a weapon. Here’s a photo of 6 of them.

let me know in the comments which warm soon should be added! Of course,, you can feel free to suggest one that isn’t pictured.

As we approach 1500 supporters, I wanted to see what kinds of updates/changes/improvements would YOU want to see? Post ideas and suggestions in the comments!

I already know I want to:

1) Flip the billiard room and dining room.

2) slightly change the floor plan so that each tile is 2x2 and take out the 1x2’s to improve “playability”.

3) add new weapons that are LEGO themed - brick separator, walkie-talkie, etc.

We’ve crossed 1,000!  This is exciting!  Thanks everyone for your support!

For this milestone, I’ve added in the arrows for the secret passages.  More updates and changes as we hit other milestones on our journey to 10k!
