Clue is a board game that patented by a British musician named Anthony Pratt in 1944 and released in 1949 under the name Cluedo. Fun fact: it is still called Cluedo in UK versions. The game was intended to be a replica of a parlor game enjoyed by Pratt and his friends, which he called “Murder.” Similar to Mafia, Pratt’s “Murder” involved one of his friends being given the role of killer, and the rest working to discover their identity. The rights to the game were sold to Parker Brothers in 1949, who released a version in America under the name CLUE.
