"Without a Clue," a parody written and directed by Mark Briner, premiered in Baltimore in February. The cast of characters includes Mr. Boddy and the six usual suspects as well as Madame Rose, Ashe the Butler and two new characters: Violet the Maid and Chef Bleu. Here are two reviews: Theatre Bloom ...

I've been sitting on this news for a week, but now I finally can share: I've been cast as Professor Plum in a production of "Clue: The Musical"! We start rehearsal tomorrow.

Thank you so much for the photos, Jamie. I see that there is another character mentioned that I never have known about: Lady Diedre Manners.

The names Dr. Claude Black, Col. Frank Mustard, Prof. Edgar Plum, The Right Honrable Mrs. Avadne Peacock, Miss Flora Scarlett and Mrs. Blanche White are on the rolled up newspaper on the front of the 1983 UK Cluedo with the green box with the weapons and telephone on the front. These names were alw...

I can’t find a single US retailer website that lists the Clue version. Neither can I. I saw the others in this series (Battleship, Sorry, Scrabble) in stores a while ago, but no Clue. Once again, I just don't understand the thinking that seems to go on at Hasbro. Why on earth would they not be mark...

His name is Hunter Foster, not Forest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Foster. His sister, Sutton, is a two-time Tony winner (for "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and "Anything Goes") and the star of the TVLand series "Younger."

I visited a great, three-story, local flea market about a mile from my home today and found one of these! https://i1.wp.com/thebiggamehunter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Clue-1931-Stearman-bi-plane.jpg This is a photo I found online and not actually a photo of the one I obtained. Mine seems to be ...

That’s hysterical... yet they’re gonna roll it out over 11 days on Facebook like a mystery haha! Yeah, I was a little surprised to see them. There's also a shot of Watson/Green reading a newspaper, but it's small -- too small for me to make out the name of the newspaper (something "Journal") or the...

Marmalade Game Studio's Clue/Cluedo page on its website: https://marmaladegamestudio.com/cluedo/

Here's the whole group:


The one with the top hat on the upper right is Moriarty.

A version of "Suspicion" (Sospecha) I had not seen before with artwork I've not seen elsewhere. The rope has been replaced with a hammer, there are a couple of different rooms (studio and dressing room), and there's a Professor Black rather than Plum. Note also that the card for the blue character s...

Another contradiction you'll notice is in some of the characters' birthplaces. For those, I've included where their passports (from "Passport to Murder") say they are from. For example, the bio says Peacock was born in Capri, Italy; the passport says Chelsea, Londres, England. (I made these notation...

I'm not even seeing that. All I see on every post is the word "Image" repeatedly.

I have not, and I have been actively looking for it. Yesterday I visited Walmart, Target and Books-a-Million (the only sources in my neck of the woods) and had no luck.

Now any information about the Cluedo: Detect-it- Yourself Mysteries books from 1991 will be great.

No additional Blacks or Boddys appear in those books.

Thomas Black is David Black's brother and the warden of a women's prison in the mystery puzzle "The Masquerade Murder." Also, the A.E. Parker books have a huge number of Reginald Boddy's relatives: Bessie Boddy (Boddy's wife) Bessie Boddy (Boddy's mother) Annie Boddy, Augusta Boddy and Bunny Boddy (...

Thank you! I appreciate the information. Just one more to go now.

Since last we spoke (ha ha), I've added six more puzzles to my collection (Killers in the Kitchen, The Color of Murder, Death Foretold, A Merry Little Murder, Framed for Murder and The Curse of Bledmore Mansion), but still not the two I asked about originally. I'm bumping this up in case we have any...

Thank you for the files from "Not in My Backyard." That was the only footage I hadn't previously seen.
