Not the game I ordered
I ordered clue Junior case of the missing cake and received clue Junior case of The hidden toys. While this might not seem to be a big deal the game board appears to be much different than the other clue Junior games and geared toward younger children. I don’t think my six-year-old granddaughter will like this one therefore I’ll be returning it

I think this is a great game for kids. my two daughters who are barely 4 and just turned 6 really enjoyed it. They think it is great and love marking the clues off on the clue sheets. This game held my 4 year olds attention very well even though she needed a couple cues. My 6 year old had fun playing detective.
The game plays by rolling the dice. You move the characters from room to room trying to land on a white or yellow space if you land on white you get to look under that character. Yellow you get to look under the piece of furniture in that room. One character has crumbs under him this is the character that ate the cake. The rest have times under them. The furniture have the drinks under them. So you mark off on or clue sheet which characters and furniture you have looked under and any times or drinks you have seen under them. You then can make an accusation. Who ate the cake at what time with what drink.
The four year old who just turned 4 was able to match up and figure out what to mark off on her clue sheet. She just needed a little help with the accusations. The 6 year old even understands the concept well. A few more times of playing this and I think she will be a pro. The game has great replay ability since the answer will be different each time. The game set up is simple and game can play pretty quickly. There are not that many games that hold attention as well as this one.
I think this is a great first clue game for children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Irresistible intrigue
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2009

This new twist on an old favorite from my childhood became an instant hit with our kids (ages 5 and 7), as well... The politically correct omission of anything violent (murder weapons and suspects) doesn't compromise the intrigue in the new rendition of 'who ate the piece of cake, in which room, with which drink?'. Still a lot of fun for the whole family - and easy to 'get' the rules, even for young children. This game, together with 'Sorry!', are now the greatest hits with our clan. One tip: make extra copies of the scorecards before they fill up!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Twin Boys Love the Game!

We have several board games but this is the one that they always want to play all the time. I love the original Clue but I thought this Jr. version would prepare them for that. I think it's doing its job. They are having fun with it and getting the idea of finding out who did what, with what, and at what time. Their dad finds it lame and wants me to get the original CLUE (of course, we're way too big for this game); but I bought it for them, not for us. Our kids are enjoying it and we are bonding as a family (with their little sister trying to grab the pieces). Now I know that they understand and are interested in the concept of "WHODUNNIT" kind of game, we are ready to move on to the next CLUE. Thanks.

We ended up with Cluedo (???) instead of Clue Jr. No idea what the difference is. But it is really cheap. I was hoping for a better quality product.

I bought this game as a Christmas present for my son. It's a great children's version of Clue! It gets kids to thinking and working out the puzzle without taking hours to play. It's also fun to play as a family and not overly boring for adults.
