Clue: Ghost of Mrs. White – The Spookiest Clue Version
The classic murder mystery gets a supernatural twist — Mrs. White is dead, but her ghost is still in the mansion, and she's changing the rules.
📋 Game Details
Clue: Ghost of Mrs. White is a haunted twist on the classic Clue formula that has been entertaining families for over 70 years. Published by Hasbro in 2020, it takes the familiar deduction gameplay — who did it, with what weapon, in which room — and adds a supernatural layer that makes the game feel fresh without abandoning what made Clue great in the first place.
The premise is delightfully eerie: Mrs. White, the longtime housekeeper of Tudor Mansion, has been murdered. But her ghost remains — and she has her own agenda. Roll doubles during the game and her ghost is summoned — she may help you solve the case, or she may decide to make your evening considerably harder.
Families who try Clue: Ghost of Mrs. White consistently describe it as the Clue version that got their kids genuinely excited about deduction games — the ghost mechanic adds just enough tension to make every session memorable, and the gothic artwork creates real atmosphere at the table.
How to Play — Watch First
What Is Clue: Ghost of Mrs. White?
Clue: Ghost of Mrs. White is a deduction mystery game for 2 to 6 players, built on the classic Clue foundation. Players move around a haunted mansion, gather clues, and try to determine the murderer, the weapon, and the room — the same core puzzle that has made Clue a classic for generations.
What makes this version unique is Mrs. White's ghost. When a player rolls doubles during movement, the ghost is triggered — players draw from the Mrs. White Clue card deck. Some cards help the player who triggered her, revealing a useful clue. Others are mischievous, giving advantage to a rival player instead. Her presence means no session plays exactly like standard Clue.
