Cluedo Mysteries - Points of Interest

Points of Interest

• Cluedo Mysteries goes from June 1, 1925 to August 7, 1925 - the day before Mr. Meadow-Brook's murder (the premise for Cluedo FX).
• There are changes in the physical look of many suspects compared to other games. For example, Lady Lavender and Miss Peach both sport glasses and hats in this game, but not in Cluedo FX or the Cluedo DVD Game. Prince Azure has a hat for this game only. Mrs. Peacock is shown with a cloche hat, a common 1920s style.
• This edition emphasizes Mr. Green as Reverend the most of all American editions. Oddly, he is not referred to as Reverend in Cluedo FX or the Cluedo DVD Game (chronologically, both sequels to Cluedo Mysteries). However, the biography for the 2002 edition of Cluedo explains that Mr. Green is a reverend and his character space is Rev. Green.
• This was the first edition where Inspector Brown was featured. Oddly, the Inspector Brown in the Cluedo DVD Game is much younger-looking, but retains the same overall look.
• This was the first edition where Mr. Boddy was featured. He is shown as a young man (at age 28 to 29) in a teal jacket with a pocketwatch. This image appears in the Cluedo DVD Game for him, as well.
• Mr. Meadow-Brook, though mentioned, is not pictured anywhere in the game.
• There is a date error. The game gives Lady Lavender's age as 29. However, Mystery 23 (the Herbal Upheaval) says that it is on her 28th birthday, making her a year younger.
• The heading for the newspaper half-featured on the inside of the box ends with 'Sentinel.' In other editions, the local newspaper was referred to as the Daily Echo.
