Gather clues in an immersive, IRL adventure based on the classic detective board game
What?
CLUE: A Walking Mystery, an interactive sleuthing game based on the beloved Parker Brothers board game.
When?

Why should I go?
CLUE: A Walking Mystery is an interactive, real-life adventure inspired by the classic detective board game. In order to determine who killed Mr. Boddy, participants must search for pieces of the mansion's furniture hidden in several businesses around downtown Boston. Each piece of furniture contains puzzles that bring participants closer to solving the long-standing mystery. There is no time limit, but visiting each location takes from about one hour to 90 minutes.
In CLUE: A Walking Mystery, the infamous case of Mr. Boddy's murder has gone cold. To solve the case, players must take on the roles of descendants of the original Clue characters: Mayor Green, Colonel Mustard, Solicitor Peacock, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlett, and Chef White. (There is a limit of five detectives per character; no acting is needed to play the game.)
The original furniture of Mr. Boddy's Tudor Mansion has been sold off and scattered around the city-and participants need to locate them all. Once they find the furniture, they'll need to decipher puzzles inside it to get clues about the victim's murderer, the location of the crime, and the weapon used.
The game concludes when the suspects gather with the butler (the game representative) to put forth a solution to the decades-old mystery.
