Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well… dead. So whodunnit? In what room? With what object? Join the iconic oddballs known as Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, and Colonel Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up! CLUEi s a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.
