 Disappointing February 27, 2008
I remember loving Cluedo when I was little, so I was delighted to find this Junior version for my 6 and 4 year olds. It was like watching paint dry. Not a success.
The children like it, but this adult finds it infuriating November 29, 2007

Remember those iconic characters from the grown-up version of the board game: Miss Scarlet, Reverend Green, Colonel Mustard? So why oh why are they printed in black and white on the gamecards in this version? Well, to save money obviously, but it makes it really tricky telling them apart when they are all grey.
The furniture pictures are muddled too: we keep mistaking the snooker table for the dining table. Instead of trying to solve a murder, you try to work out who ate the cake, at what time, and with what drink. The drinks pictures are muddly as well; hard to tell a glass of lemonade from a glass of coke when they too are grey. I've given it an extra star because my children do like playing this game; it's just me that finds it infuriating. Setting the game up is fiddly; I have to refer to the instructions each time. Unbelievable but they have actually made this junior version MORE complex than the grown-up version. Save your money and buy the grown-up version instead. I'm sure most modern kids can cope with the idea of solving a murder.
Very confusing - adult version is easier to follow January 4, 2007

This has got to be the worst-thought out children's game we have bought. Like the adult game, you have three items to discover. This time it's who ate the chocolate cake, what time they ate it and what drink they took. However unlike the adult game, you have to make a different type of deduction for each item. For one, it's turn a piece over, for another it's land on a particular square, and for the third it's land on a particular square in a particular room. All-in-all far too complex. Oh, and another thing - the times the cake could have been taken are 13.00, 14.00, 15.00, 16.00 and 17.00. Our children, who are six year old twins, think that times finish at 12.00. So why didn't the game's authors use times of 08.00, 09.00, 10.00, 11.00 and 12.00? Again an example of the game not being well thought through.
 Super for young children July 29, 2006

My 4 year old boy loves this game. It's the first board game he regularly plays and is able to think through the very basic logic. Older children might tire of this game quickly but is an excellent game for younger children.
Very dissapointed in this game - both adults and children not impressed. May 17, 2006

Completely dissapointing, incredibly unclear and very poorly thought out game objective. This is the worst kids boardgame I have purchased.
