About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a high-stakes mystery at the Black Adder Resort! In Clue Conspiracy, you and your friends become suspects (and maybe even culprits!) in a sinister plot to murder the manager, Mr. Coral. The twist? You'll be divided into two secret teams: the "Friends", who want to save Mr. Coral and unravel the mystery (who, where, and how), and the "Conspiracy", who aim to carry out the murder and sabotage the "Friends" with deadly traps. Each player gets a secret role, adding that extra layer of suspicion and fun. You'll find clues, but the big question is: who can you trust? Share them or keep them to yourself? The Conspiracy wins if they successfully pull off the murder or sabotage the "Friends". The "Friends" win if they disarm all the traps or uncover the plot before it's too late. It's a deduction and bluffing game for up to 10 players, where paranoia is your best friend (or foe!). Perfect for those who enjoy a good mystery with plot twists and plenty of interaction.
