Cluedo
Cluedo is an online instant win game based on the Cluedo board game from Hasbro. You can play it at the National Lottery site and if you are a fan of the original Cluedo game you will be pleased to hear that the Cluedo instant win game provides an authentic Cluedo experience, with the characters, settings and weapons that you will already be very familiar with.
Those who haven’t played the Cluedo board game, it is essentially a puzzle-solving game. A murder has taken place in a mansion and there were several characters in the property at the time of the crime. Your job is to collect clues and thereby deduce which of the characters committed the heinous act.
The Cluedo instant win game retains many elements of the original board game, but thankfully you don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to win a cash prize. Instead, the outcome of games is determined by chance, which means that anyone can invest £2 in a Cluedo scratchcard and win up to £55,000 within a matter of minutes. Those of you who like to know exactly how much chance you have of winning a prize will be impressed to learn that the answer is 1 in 3.31.
As you would expect, the Cluedo instant win game takes place on a game board that shows nine rooms, including the library, study, dining room and lounge. When you start the game, a WHO, WHAT and WHERE card can be found on the board. These obviously contain the answer to who committed the crime, what weapon was used to kill the victim and where the murder was committed.
You have six rolls of a die and with each one your playing piece is moved the corresponding number of spaces on the game board. If you land on a WHO, WHAT or WHERE card then you get to keep it. Collect two or all three of those cards and you win a modest cash prize. Whatever room you land on, you will get to roll dice that reveal a suspect and a weapon. These are collected on the left of the screen and if you complete a set, you win the prize associated with that set.
The prizes are associated with a different set of suspects and weapons in each game, so if the £55,000 prize is associated with Rev Green in one game, it might be associated with Miss Scarlett or Prof Plum in the next. This is a great touch, and makes every game a brand new challenge, just as it is when playing the Cluedo board game.
Every aspect of the Cluedo instant win game is impressive. The characters, weapons and game board are all very well illustrated, the movement of your game piece around the board and the rolling of the dice is brilliantly animated and even the sound effects are authentic, with deliberate footsteps through the mansion accompanying every turn you take.
Whether you’re a fan of the Cluedo board game or a newcomer to the world’s most famous crime-solving game, you are sure to love the Cluedo instant win game. And if you win the top prize of £55,000, you’ll love it even more!
