Simpsons Clue Review
Simpsons Clue Feature
- The classic game of "whodunnit" comes to Springfield!
- For 3 to 6 players.
- Ages 8 and up
Okay, it's not the most complex toy that's ever been attempted. They didn't re-invent the rules of the classic murder mystery game
Clue, they simply reproduced it with characters, locations, and weapons from the world of
The Simpsons. But that simplicity is what makes this set so much darn fun. In this version, Mr. Burns has been found dead. Marge is now Mrs. Peacock, Homer is Mr. Green, Krusty is Colonel Mustard, Bart is Professor Plum, Lisa takes the role of Miss Scarlet, and, perhaps most delightfully, Waylon Smithers, is Mrs. White. Weapons include a poison donut and a plutonium rod, while locales include the power plant and Krustylu Studios. If all these references confuse you, well, it's still a game of
Clue and a great game to play. But if these references send you off into a gleeful reverie of repeated catch phrases and favorite episode memories, then you really need this game.

Springfield is in shambles. Chief Wiggum suspects foul play when he finds wealthy industrialist Charles Montgomery Burns dead. In a typical display of incompetence, Wiggum rounds up six likely suspects: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Krusty the Clown and Waylon Smithers. He gives them 24 hours to solve the crime through a real life game of Clue. The fingered suspects must dress-up as their favorite Clue game character to solve the mystery. Their job is to figure out who killed Mr. Burns, where the crime occurred and what weapon was used.
Game includes square gameboard, six collectible Simpsons suspect tokens, six zinc weapons, confidential case file, deck of suspect, weapon and location cards, detective notebook pad and dice. For 3 to 6 players.
