"Cluedo Mobile Unveils 2016 Cast and Retro 1949 Ruleset"

by Nova May 13,2025

With its rich history and countless variations, few classic board games can rival the legacy of Cluedo (or Clue, for those across the pond), perhaps only matched by the iconic Monopoly. If you're eager to dive back into the nostalgic charm of this detective game, Marmalade Game Studios' popular mobile adaptation is the place to be.

Marmalade is set to enhance the experience by introducing a new character pack featuring the 2016 versions of the beloved cast, including Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Reverend Green, Professor Plum, Dr. Orchid, and Mrs. Peacock. This pack will be available for purchase, allowing fans to engage with these updated characters in their mobile gaming sessions.

But that's not all; for those who yearn for the classic gameplay, the mobile version will also include the original 1949 ruleset. This retro mode will bring back the traditional mechanics, such as set start locations for tokens, a fixed turn order, and the restriction of making only one suggestion per room entry. This change reverts several modifications introduced in the 2023 digital edition, offering a purer experience of the game's origins.

The butler did it!The digital edition of Cluedo is a testament to Marmalade's dedication, blending the essence of the original with elements from the popular social deduction genre. The studio's ongoing commitment to enriching the game is evident through continuous updates that include new levels and features, ensuring Cluedo remains a thrilling and engaging experience.

Now might be the perfect time to return to the game and challenge yourself to solve the mystery once again.
