Growing up, Clue was always among my favorite board games. (Deduction games remain a favorite genre.) And the 1985 film Clue (rated 7.3 out of 10 at IMDb and 86% audience score at Rotten Tomatoes) remains one of the most successful board-game-to-movie adaptations of all time.
In this visual trivia game, your job is to identify the characters from a classic edition of the board game Clue, along with the characters – and the actors who played them – from the 1985 film.
Scoring:
- For numbers 1 to 6, you earn 1 point for the character’s name.
- For numbers 7 to 14, you earn 1 point for the character’s name plus 1 point for the actor’s name.
