"Cluedo Mobile Unveils 2016 Cast and Retro 1949 Rules"

Cluedo is set to welcome a fresh wave of mystery and intrigue with the introduction of a new character pack, bringing back the 2016 versions of its iconic cast. Alongside this, players will also have the option to experience the game using the original 1949 ruleset—an exciting throwback for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Among the returning characters are Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Reverend Green, Professor Plum, Dr Orchid, and Mrs Peacock—all in their updated 2016 designs. This character pack will be available as a paid purchase, offering a modern twist on the classic lineup.

For those who enjoy a more traditional gameplay style, the inclusion of the 1949 ruleset brings several notable changes. Tokens now begin at fixed starting positions, turns proceed in a strict sequence, and players can make only one suggestion after entering a room—adding a layer of structure and nostalgia to every session.

The butler did it!
Marmalade Game Studios continues to show strong dedication to Cluedo’s digital adaptation, blending classic charm with modern enhancements. While the current version draws inspiration from contemporary social deduction mechanics, the addition of retro gameplay options ensures that Cluedo remains both relevant and respectful of its roots.
