- Clue was invented during the UK air raids of World War II. In the early 1940s, a British musician, fire warden, and munitions factory worker named Anthony Pratt was holed up in his Birmingham home during air raids.
- Clue wasn’t always called Clue. When Pratt sold his game to Waddington’s, he named it Cluedo, a blend of clue and Ludo, the name of a 19th century board game that’s Latin for “I play.”
- Early versions of Clue featured different weapons. Pratt’s earliest ideas for murder implements were sketched by Elva and were originally a bit more gruesome.
- Clue's Colonel Mustard was originally Colonel Yellow. Pratt detailed 10 characters in total in his patent application: Doctor Black, Mr. Brown, Mr. Gold, the Reverend Mister Green, Miss Grey, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlett, Nurse White, Mrs. Silver, and Colonel Yellow.
- Clue: The Board Game That Was Born Out Of Boredom. In the early 1940s, Anthony Pratt worked in a factory. He was also a musician who played piano at Hotels and European Country Mansions in his spare time.
- The First Clue Patent, Called “Murder” Anthony Pratt and his wife Elva started working on the design of the board game originally called ‘Murder.’ This was mainly out of boredom from being holed up in their home in Birmingham, England, due to the air raids during World War 2.
- Another Patent, And “Cluedo” Is Born. Shortly after they received the patent, they presented the game to the executive of Waddingtons. This executive, Norman Watson, immediately purchased the patent and trademarked the name of the board game, which he changed to Cluedo.
- Cluedo Is Finally Released. Although Norman Watson put the patent in for Cluedo in 1945, the patent was finally granted two years later in 1947. The release date of Cluedo was delayed due to post-war shortages, and it was finally released in 1949.
