Should be free to play
Should be free to play
Why is it ALWAYS Peacock?
I’m not sure if it’s just a glitch on my game but every single game, it’s always Ms. Peacock. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing. It’s fun but it takes the surprise out.
ARE YOU KIDDING!!!
People think this game is 5⭐️ and it’s more like throwing 6$ out the window and electricity these days like I’ve made an invention and I am only 8 it would help dr. kind if they made copies but it can’t even be played right
Needs lndscape
It would be must better if the game was in landscape like the steam deck version so you can keep your sheet open instead of having to constantly open and close that tab
The Nostalgia
Not too over animated and great graphics, the notepad has plenty of editable options, so much fun!!!
Paid for Classic Board Bundle, now it’s gone
I paid for the classic board bundle and all the characters that came with it (the board with the Art Deco rooms). I had the game offloaded from my iPad for a long while. I recently reinstalled the game and the bundle wouldn’t load for me. I went to settings and tapped on restore purchases, but it still wouldn’t load for me. The game even said that I already purchased that bundle. I updated the app, and now even that is gone, and it’s telling me to buy the classic board again! And what of the characters that came with it! I am being ripped off by Marmalade Studios!
Great, but…
I absolutely love Clue! The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is that I wish there was a landscape orientation that I could play that looks like the Nintendo Switch version. Full player sheet on view at all times on the rightmost 20-25% of the screen, while the rest of the game was visible on the left. It’s hard for me to play without the player card being on full display all the time. I do love that it is cross platform with the Nintendo Switch version though!
Unless you pay $140!
You get like 5 characters to choose from and no alternative styles. They punish people who don’t pay with bad dice rolls.
Fun
Fun to play, wish you could intervene with the other players and potentially be able to get to know them and make new friends.
Very addictive!
Just brings back that old school vibe.
Freezes
This game freezes too much. We tried playing it a couple times and it just becomes unresponsive in the middle of the game, this has happened multiple times we have never been able to finish the game because it always just freezes.
Good but needs improvements
There should be a time limit. Sometimes you’ll sit there forever forcing a quit because someone is not playing. Additionally there should be an option to block so not to match up with these players in the future.
Horrible Multiplayer Connection
I paid $6 for this game just to get disconnected every single time. If I switch to a different app even for one second it disconnects and I get kicked out the game. Having paid $6 I expected it to be better than this.
Not compatible with newer iPhones
This game doesn’t work well if your phone has Dynamic Island as it cuts out players 2,3 and 4. These phones with Dynamic Islands have been out for awhile time to update the game.
Entertaining
It’s a great game that uses the brain and keeps u on ur toes!
Boring, with auto notes
The best part of clue is taking notes and this game auto takes notes for you so it’s really boring. You don’t have to think at all
Fantastic game
I love this game but the prices for the other characters and other boards being over $30 on discount is insane
Private games are not working
Love this game but the play with friends isn’t working! Is it broken.
Ok if dice rolls were more statistically balanced
I noticed in the solo games, the opening spin should select each character roughly 1/6th of the time, but the character I play is selected far less than that. I have also noticed that I get low rolls more frequently than all the other characters combined. The programers really should look into making those items more statistically balanced.
Really fun!
I never played much of the board game, but this is so fun! I like to play at night before bed 👍🏼 buy when it’s on sale though.
Clue
Isn’t fun after awhile
Love but…
Add more characters/character variants! I’ve been heavily enjoying this game, but I am getting a bit tired of the avatar choices. Also, it would be nice to see who leaves each game so I know if I am playing against a bot or not. Another thing is also that there are a couple of bugs that tend to happen as well, such as the game freezing randomly or the guesses going through every person, even if a player already showed their card. All in all though, I do enjoy this game, I just feel there is room for improvement.
Online is broken
Online is broken, can’t get into game
Fun but needs more
I love the game, but ngl the time it takes for people in game to take their turn and fill out their sheet enrages me bc it shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to fill it out lol. I also wish they made the app so we could make official accounts and could add players to play with in the future instead of always randoms. And we should be able to chat with the other players too
scoreboard needed
i wish their were levels so we can have a rating system and scoreboard
No multiplayer unless you buy it for each player
Cash grab, I can’t even play the game I bought. I’m not going to play this game alone, that’s ridiculous.
One problem
Very fun but one major problem, I bought the classic clue pack and I had the skins but no board.
Not impressed
Once you get the game - they want you to pay more money for any type of variety. Once you win it’s very anticlimactic. I was disappointed - and got bored quickly.
Il y a des parties qu’on ne peut pas finir car il n’y a pas de temps maximum pour jouer
On attend pour rien quand les gens abandonne la partie
Auto
Just my favorite board game and I’m happy that it’s on a iPhone
ridiculous!!
$9.99 for the app and then you want people to pay for more characters and boards? you get one board and everything else costs money. contacting apple for a refund.
Clue
Great game! Wish was free why took a star!
glitches
fun game but it glitches way too much
??
J’avais acheté un pack de personnages et je ne peux plus les utilisés . Le jeu me montre que je possède l’article du pack mais que je dois payer pour le personnage … c’est un peu du gaspillage . J’avais aussi accès a la map classique avec ce pack & je ne peux plus jouer dessus …
Amazing!!
This game is amazing and wonderful.
Too much time when players drag
This is a really fun game when you have other players that are engaged. But when you get just one player that drags on continuing after each turn, the game can take three times as long as it should. Players have way too much time to hit continue after each and every turn. It feels like it’s become a strategy for bad players to annoy other players into leaving the game. Because it works! I quit a game when I encounter one of these players because they are the worst and should be banned for abusing it.
Great game
I have the complet game and I really like it. But 80% of the time, Rose or Peacock are guilty. Time to review your algorithm?
Online
Lately online play has been horrible. The y need a update
I love this game
I love this game but… when I go to load a game at the onset of pressing the app on how many people to play it glitches looking for a game then when attached to a game it glitches and glitches. It takes several attempts to get a game started.
Love it!
It’s old school but I’m teaching my son and we both love it!
Solve warning
I purchased the warning for when a player is about to solve the crime and the last 2 time’s I’ve played the game it hasn’t worked. What gives??? I also don’t see the peek at someone’s card button anymore! I paid for those features and now they are gone!
Pas de son ni musique!!
Pas moyen d’avoir du son ni la musique ni le son de jeu, est-ce en lien avec mon refus de transmettre à Facebook mes données!? J’ai un iPhone 11pro Max et je ne veux pas le jeu si je n’ai aucun son d’ambiance c’est ennuyant ... Hi, i use iPhone 11 pro max and I have no sound anymore on the game Clue (music + sound effect) I’ve tried everything seems to be a bog! I stopped playing last year because of this and now still the same trouble.. am I the only one!?!
Si seulement…
Si seulement le jeux ne bloquerais pas au milieu d’une partie
Inconsistent
The game freezes up lately. I’ll be excited when a game is about to start, only to be stuck on “waiting for players”. My last restart left me with a frozen screen on the mansion opening. It’s too bad because when the app actually works, the game is so fun.
Love love love
Def. Worth the $6.99
Never play Again
The game makes no sense. You can only play with AI if you don’t have six players. Horrible game.I hate this interpretation of clue cause I love the board game so much. This just makes me sick🤢
No Pass and Play
Disappointed there is no pass and play. Listing local multiplayer as a feature is extremely misleading. Wish I could pass my iPad to another player before the cluesheet is shown.
Play with friends feature freezes
Downloaded this app to play with friends, and we hardly get through the game and it freezes. Every time, please fix your play with friends feature…
