Are You Clued In?

Perhaps not surprisingly, my favorite board game growing up was Clue (the Hasbro product even inspired me as a child to write a Gothic mystery--a would-be novel called Murder About the Mansion, which somehow featured tennis pros John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl[!] in its cast of characters).  Anyway, here's a little trivia quiz for all you Clue lovers out there in the Macabre Republic.  The answers can be found in the Comments section of this post.  Good luck, amateur detectives!

1.What is the name of the mansion where the game is set?  (If you miss this one, you deserve to be hit upside the head with a lead pipe.)


2.When you make a Suggestion, the player pawn of the suspect you are citing is automatically relocated to the suggested room.  True or False?


3.According to the official rules, which character moves first on the game board?
(A) Prof. Plum  (B) Mrs. Peacock  (C) Colonel Mustard  (D) Mr. Green  (E) Miss Scarlet


4.Of the six weapons tokens, which is the only one not made of pewter?


5.An Accusation (i.e. your attempt to win the game by guessing [and then peeking at] the three cards inside the Case File) must be made in the room where you are asserting the murder took place.  True or False?


6.Which of the following rooms does NOT include a secret passageway?
(A) the Kitchen  (B) the Billiards Room  (C) the Study  (D) the Lounge  (E) the Conservatory



So how did you score?
5-6 Correct: Bravo! Your parents should have named you Sherlock.
3-4 Correct: Your sleuthing skills could use some honing.
1-2 Correct: Face the facts--you don't have a clue.
