What are some good ideas for a Clue/Cluedo theme party?
I want to have a Clue theme party for my birthday this year and I am trying to gather ideas on how to go about it. I'm just looking for any ideas to help keep the party in theme. I am going to gather the Clue Weapons and put them throughout the house, as well as play a game. What are some ideas you may have? What I am looking for are new ideas I don't already have. So to assist, as you are not mind readers, this is what I have already, and I want you to think of something different.
-Fancy Dress as Characters
-Playing a live action Clue game by giving each guest an envelope with cards which they must talk to each and every guest to learn what their cards are to narrow down the solution
-Painting a large box like a giant red dice
-Decorating a Brown Paper Grocery Bag and putting the solution in it, then framing it on the wall
-A murder weapon scavanger hunt
-Hiding cards in 'secret passages' in the house with additional clues
-A Clue trivia quiz for another clue for the winner
Answers:
if possible...at the enternace of each room of your house put up a sign tells players what room they are entering (like the game) some will be obvious (kitchen) but you probably don't have a billards room so you might want to make that another room in your home by putting up the sign
Go rent the movie Clue. It was done in the 80's watch that to get some ideas. plus its really funny anyway.
a flat cake decorate to resemble a Clue board. Some bakeries can airbrush a picture onto the cake. I'd also hide something in the cake.
When I was in high school, one of my friends had a Clue birthday party. We all came dressed as characters from the game played a live action version of the game, as you mentioned. We also watched the movie, and played the board game- he requested that if anyone had any versions of Clue different from the original, that they brought them to share. We wound up with the original, an Alfred Hitchcock version, the Simpsons version, and an old (from the 1950s) version that belonged to one person's grandmother.
Now they also have some Clue DVD games- those might be fun.
You could also award prizes, to the person with the best costume, the best actor, the person who correctly guesses the solution in your live game, &c.
