Ever find yourself at a loss while babysitting, wishing you had a fun game to pull out? This article will show you how to create your own interactive Clue game, which can be played many times, and never get boring!
Steps
-
Decide which rooms you'd like to use, and which rooms are off-limits.
-
Create cards using cardstock. Print the room name on one side of the card, and print the name of the game on the other side.Advertisement
-
Print the names of the suspects on the cardstock, just as before. You can make up your own names for the characters, or choose to use the names of the suspects in the actual game.
-
Create cards for the weapons. As with the names, you can substitute your own weapons instead of using the traditional clue weapons.

-
Gather some fake money. If you don't have any fake money, you can just use pieces of paper to serve as money.
-
Gather some folder and write the name of each 'agent' on the folder. For example, strong pieces of paper can serve as folders. Coordinate them with the names of the agents. For example, one agent could have a blue folder and be called 'Agent Marine'.
-
You can also set up a 'store'. At my store, I sell 'reference sheets'. The general reference sheets include the suspects, locations, and weapons. Players can purchase these to use while eliminating what's written on their card.

-
Take one card from each category. Place them into an envelope. Evenly divide the remaining cards as well as the fake money. If you have any extra cards, as will sometimes happen, you can also sell these at your store.
-
Tell the players that they can begin. When asking questions to one another, have them go to the room in question. However, this is not required to play. The players agree to either exchange questions or they agree on a price for a question. Have fun playing!

Tips

- You can make this more advanced by placing clues around the house before the game. For example, you might type or write notes out, and then create a handwriting reference sheet that's available for sale.Thanks
- Another thing you have the option to get a map of a certain room, showing fingerprints and all evidence. Use a certain finger for each suspect, and stamp it appropriately. Create a fingerprint reference sheet.Thanks
