Why it works

There is no murder here, just a broken toy and three questions to solve using clues. The little ones rule out suspects, places and times, which is real deduction at their level. The rules are shorter than in standard Cluedo, and the board comes with pawns and furniture for moving around the house.

Our verdict

A spot-on gift for a little detective aged five to seven. For eight and over, go for classic Cluedo.

They will like it if

  • they are drawn to mysteries and clues
  • they can already wait their turn
  • they have watched the grown-ups play Cluedo

Bear in mind

  • at eight or nine they will ask for the real Cluedo
  • there are small pieces that get lost

What's in the box

  • Recommended age: 5 and up
  • Includes board, character pawns, furniture and clues
  • You have to work out who, where and at what time
