Get ready to unravel a mystery fit for the aristocracy in Clue: Downton Abbey! Forget the ballrooms and galas for a moment, because something has gone missing at the Crawley estate, and Mr. Carson needs your help. This isn't just any Clue; it transports you directly into the world of the acclaimed TV series, featuring iconic characters and instantly recognizable items. You can move around the board as Lord Grantham, Lady Mary, the Dowager Countess, John Bates, Mrs. Hughes, or Tom Branson. Each has their secrets and their own perspective on what happened. The goal is simple: figure out which precious item from the mansion was stolen, who is responsible, and, of course, where the item was hidden.
