About the game
What you do in a play session
Clue Jr.: The Case of the Missing Cake is the junior version of the classic mystery game Clue. Instead of investigating a murder, players must figure out who ate the cake, at what time, and with which drink. The game retains the deduction essence of the original but with simplified rules and a lighter theme, perfect for kids. Each player moves their pawn around the board, collecting clues and eliminating suspects until they solve the mystery. It's a great introduction to deduction games for the little ones, with quick and fun rounds that guarantee entertainment for the whole family.
