7 detective board games that are better than Cluedo!

What would you want to see added to the shelves of our new set? □□

Definitely liking the new set, has a bit more character. Hoping it is a permanent change

Very nice list! I'd also recommend Awkward Guests, which feels a lot more like Clue(do) on steroids, where the suspects wander around the house and you need to figure out how they got to the crime scene as well as the usual who, what, and why.

I don't know how but somehow the set change makes the video so much more interesting. Love it.

Loving the new set! Gives the video more personality

Oot but for a second i thought the first presenter is Elizabeth Olsen. Nice recommendations btw.

Came across this channel in Youtube recommendations. Brilliant video that brought new titles to my attention with fun and concise information abundant. Makes it no mystery why I subscribed, thank you dicebreaker team for all your hard work keeping us table top sleuths entertained as well as informed.

Can't wait for "The Dark Quarter" to come out (from the designer of "Detective: City of Angels") - it's absolutely my jam :D

I’ve missed this sort of video! Also, loving the new set guys

I would recommend Awkward Guests as the best and most direct replacement to Cluedo

Cluedo would be OK if the movement system was better. The main deduction side of it isn't bad, it's just the torture inflicted by the role and move mechanic that kills it. There is a really cool family game Small Detectives where there is a pool of movement cards, so as you use a card, you know you're handing it to an opponent for them to move. I'd also back the other people who are bringing up Awkward Guests - it also strips the movement system out of Cluedo, and then adds some nuances to the cards which is genius

Sherlock is my favourite board game of all time. Was a wonderful 2 player with my partner. Definitely recommend! (Also fyi, think the description links need updating :) )

Awkward Guests should definitely be on this list. I'd also include Inkognito and Obscurio.

Consulting Detective and Chronicles of Crime are both fantastic, my wife and I have enjoyed many an evening solving their mysteries. Micro Macro is also good, although as you say play on hard mode otherwise it’s just too easy. I would add TIME Stories to the list, although more mystery solving than a true detective game, it’s a lot of fun. Quantum Leap meets Groundhog Day in this great game.

@Dicebreaker Fine selection! (and very well done video) Ever heard about Midnight Murder Mysteries?

Mystery games are fantastic since they both stimulate and entertain my thoughts. I really appreciate the suggestions. 🤓

Something I've enjoyed lately is Cat Crimes. I bought it from a charity shop just for the name, but it was a real hit at a recent family gathering. It's a solo game, but easy to make it co-op.

Ty for this

Another game I would recommend is T.I.M.E Stories. It's like quantum leap meets Sherlock Holmes.

Sabotage at Lucky Llamaland is also excellent for families
