"Clue" (1985) with Gerry D, Chris McMichen & Laramy Wells

The board game “Clue” originated in the 1940s as “Cluedo” overseas and was later brought to the U.S. by Parker Brothers. Now owned by Hasbro, it has inspired many spin-offs, including a TV show, themed editions like the “Simpsons” version, and a VCR game. Alongside classics like “Monopoly,” “Cranium,” “The Game of Life,” “Sorry!,” and “Mouse Trap,” as well as junior games like “Candyland” and “Chutes and Ladders,” “Clue” has stood the test of time. Turning “Clue” into a movie was inevitable. Was it a big hit? Not really. But it was fun!
