Brief Game History
There is no doubt that Clue (originally titled "Murder!") is a pretty sinister board game, but you may be surprised to learn that its origins are equally dark. In the early 1940s, a British musician, fire warden, and munitions factory worker named Anthony Pratt was holed up in his Birmingham home during WW2 air raids. During these dark gloomy nights, he recalled the murder mystery games played by some of his clients at private music gigs as well as the detective fiction popular at the time from authors like Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie. Slowly, Pratt and his wife, Elva, turned the idea into a board game they could play while waiting out the raids.
Pratt filed for a patent in 1947 and sold Clue to Waddington Games, but due to a shortage of materials during wartime, it wasn't actually released until 1949. Parker Brothers brought the game to America, and it went on to become one of the world's most enduring party games. Clue has had a huge impact on all the mystery-themed and deduction games that followed in its footsteps.
