[MARMALADE GAME STUDIO — 27/03/2025] Marmalade Game Studio brings new content to its murder-mystery digital board game with the 2016 cast and Retro Rules Set game mode.
The fresh cast of contemporary characters introduced in the 2023 version of CLUE/CLUEDO has been well-received by players, particularly in the digital game where they can see the characters come to life. For fans of previous iterations of the murder-mystery game, there’s been a strong desire to see other classic line-ups given the same modernised treatment. In response to this, Marmalade has launched the 2016 Suspect pack, bringing the six iconic characters of the 2016 version back to the digital board.
The 2016 characters – Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Reverend Green, Professor Plum, Dr Orchid and Mrs Peacock – join their 2023 counterparts independently of any crime scene or case files. This means players can buy the 2016 Suspect pack and enjoy using their favourite classic suspect as an entirely nostalgic experience free of any character tasks.
Many long-time CLUE/CLUEDO fans have also expressed a desire to play with the original 1949 rules. Marmalade is pleased to announce that the 1949 rulebook – named Retro Rules Set – will be added to the game for free so that all players can try out this optional game mode.
The Retro Rules Set will allow players to revert a number of changes made in the 2023 digital board game edition. In the Retro Rules Set game mode:
-
Tokens will start at predetermined squares
-
Miss Scarlett will always play first. In her absence, Mustard will go first, then White, Green, Peacock or Plum.
-
Players will only be able to make one suggestion after entering a room. They may not make another until entering another room or using at least two turns, exiting the room and reentering.
-
Tokens will not be able to land or move through occupied squares.
-
Players will only be able to make accusations in a room.
-
Clue Cards are excluded from gameplay.
“Bringing the 2016 characters to our game has been an exciting project for the team,” said Filipa Evangelista, CLUE/CLUEDO Producer at Marmalade Game Studio. “We know how much CLUE/CLUEDO fans love the nostalgic cast, and we can’t wait to see the response to their return.”
