About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a spine-tingling night with Clue: Universal Monsters! If you’re already familiar with the classic mystery game, you’ll feel right at home, but with a gothic twist that only the Universal Monsters could bring. Van Helsing has mysteriously vanished, and as angry villagers approach the castle with torches in hand, you and your friends must solve the crime before time runs out. The gameplay is what we all love: roll the dice, move across the board, and use the trusty notepad to eliminate suspects, locations, and weapons. The twist here is that you aren't just any detective; you take on the role of one of six iconic monsters, such as Dracula, The Mummy, The Wolf Man, or the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Every move counts, and the tension rises each round as the pressure from the villagers outside becomes palpable. The game blends classic deduction mechanics with a cinematic suspense vibe, making every session feel unique. It’s the perfect game to gather friends who enjoy a good mystery with that nostalgic touch of classic horror films. The custom board and 'Masters of Fright' cards add extra layers that make the experience much more than just a 'Clue' reskin. You’ll need to be fast, clever, and above all, keep your cool while trying to figure out who committed the crime, where, and with what object. Was it Frankenstein in the laboratory with the serum bottle? Or Dracula in the lagoon with a pitchfork? The possibilities are endless, and the fun is guaranteed. If you’re a fan of Universal Monsters or simply love a good investigation game that doesn't require hours of rulebook reading, this title deserves a spot on your shelf. It’s accessible, fast-paced, and full of personality, ideal for casual game nights where the main goal is to have a laugh and exercise your brain trying to solve the mystery before the other players. Don't let the final bell toll without having the answer on the tip of your tongue!
