About the game

What you do in a play session

Grab your wand and your wits, because in Clue: World of Harry Potter, a fellow student has mysteriously vanished! Taking on the roles of famous witches and wizards like Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, or Neville, your mission is to unravel this enigma. Who was responsible? What spell or artifact was used in this sinister act? And, most importantly, where did the student disappear? Perhaps it was Fenrir Greyback, using a Cursed Necklace in the Forbidden Forest? To travel faster through the wizarding world, you can use the Floo Network, but beware of unlit fireplaces – they might set you back! With each move, you'll gather clues, ask questions, and eliminate suspects and locations, much like in the classic Clue game. The twist is that the setting is the Harry Potter universe, inspired by the last two films of the saga. When you feel confident with your deductions, race to The Burrow to make your final accusation and prove you're the best wizarding detective of all time. This isn't just a Clue game with a Harry Potter theme; it's a deduction adventure that captures the essence of magic and suspense from the wizarding world, perfect for fans who want to test their investigative skills in a familiar and engaging environment. It's a family-friendly game with simple rules and minimal text, ideal for quick sessions full of twists.
