How to play detective?

To solve the case of the missing cake, the investigator needs to find out 3 key points:

  • who ate the cake
  • with what drink
  • what time of day did this happen?

There can be many versions, because the detective has 6 suspects and each of them could commit a crime whenever he wanted, and the cake can be washed down not only with water, but also, for example, with juice or lemonade. Will your child be the first to make the correct guess?

The game requires preliminary preparation: stick stickers on the cube and the bases for the chips in accordance with the instructions, separate the character figures and pieces of furniture from the cardboard blanks. Distribute all elements as specified in the rules. Each detective participant will also need a piece of paper from a special notebook and a pencil to make important notes, which no professional detective can do without.

The first player to go is the one who last ate everyone's favorite dessert - cake. The memory of how sad it is when the treat runs out is still fresh in this participant's mind. Players take turns, performing the actions that the die determines for them: look under any piece of furniture, under some piece with a character, move a few steps along the drawn tracks. Everyone tries to be the first to solve the crime. He is helped in this by his notes, which he makes during the game (noting drinks and times that do not correspond to the conditions of the crime).

Using the method of elimination, participants try to find answers to the three main questions of the game - who, when and with what drink ate the piece of cake that the troublemaker was not supposed to eat. The winner is the participant who is the first to make a correct guess, but if his version turns out to be wrong, then he drops out of the game (he finds out the answer himself, without telling it to the others).

Remove the furniture and characters from the bases, mix up all the pieces and play again! Each time the detective has a different correct answer.

This entertainment develops logic, memory and attentiveness in children. In addition, they learn to accept their victories and defeats with dignity. And, of course, it’s just a fun activity that lifts everyone’s spirits!

Feel like real detectives with the Cluedo Junior board game!

⇒ "My daughters watch videos like this all the time. They also love it when new toys are opened on them. But I’ve never watched them with them, but this time I saw them by accident. You know this is really interesting. There was nothing like this in our childhood, which is a pity. And there were no such playrooms. Now our children live without needing anything. And how interesting it will be for these children to watch videos of themselves in 5-10 years. Then they will show them to their children, it’s just great. Now, whenever possible, I will also photograph my children, because life is not enough for this."

⇒ "I also don’t understand how air traffic controllers could mock the burning Super Jet 100 plane at Sheremetyevo. These are not just people, these are air traffic controllers! That is, those people whose responsibilities include taking care of the safety of flights and passengers. They should be located in a special facility, and not in the control room. Further, it is not clear why no one meets the burning plane in distress. And after the plane stops, no one rushes to help. There are no firefighters or ambulances?"

⇒ "I haven’t played tanks myself for a long time, but sometimes I watch Job’s videos. I liked the way he took three marks on the KV-2 and TOG, it was interesting. It turned out cool with T49 too. I think that it will be extremely difficult for him to get three marks here. Still, this is “not sand”, the tank levels are higher, and the level of play on this tank by other players is quite high. Without the help of a platoon it will be very difficult. I expect a lot of “bombing” from Konstantin, he will burn very often - that’s for sure. We are waiting for the continuation, it will be fun."

⇒ "I used to love all kinds of crackers. Now I have lost my teeth over the years, I love the softer and thinner ones from the “light” series. I usually choose them with white bread, but I like some flavors only with rye crackers. Among the flavors I stand out are salmon with cheese, tomato with herbs, jellied meat with horseradish. It’s good when the bag contains sauce, then the crackers are twice as tasty. Of course, there is little natural in crackers, but sometimes you are drawn to them. I agree, you can crunch them a couple of times a month, even without much damage to your health."

⇒ "I watched this match and realized that Juventus had completely weakened. Moise Kean and Bernadeschi are playing poorly and should not be allowed into the main lineup. Cristano is great, but the team’s performance should not be based on just one player, all players must be involved. Juve played at home and showed practically nothing, which is sad. In the end it was a pity for Torino, the team deserved to win this match, especially since they had an excellent chance of taking fourth place, which would have secured them the Champions League."
