I got this game for our 10 year old in April. She and her friends tried to play it at her birthday party, but there are so many parts, and the setup to start to play takes so long, that they ended up just making up their own game with the various pieces. Since then, we tried to set it up to play again, and there are about 10 different stacks of different kinds of cards and tokens to keep separated. I'm putting them each in plastic baggies so setup is easier next time. The mechanics of just getting going on this aren't hard, just time-consuming, and have prevented us from actually being able to play the game yet... If they could streamline that process I'm sure it would be a lot more fun.


We love this game--loved the classic Clue and love having something different, but the same. Great for Harry Potter fans, but anyone can play.


The rules are complicated enough that you have to think hard, think fast, and think positive with the group playing-- give it a practice round, or forgive mistakes. We had a very competitive college-age crowd playing and it was a success.


After putting the game together we quickly realized it was a little too much for us. There are a number of added features that become confusing and muddles the game. We decided to throw out all the "extras" and play it like the original Clue game and then it became fun. But it was disappointing that the game makers felt they had to add to it to make it enjoyable. Our kids are 10 and 9 and both did not like the extra challenges at all.


I bought this for my wife who is a Harry Potter fanatic. I like the books and movies, but am not much into remakes of clue. But once I played this, I was hooked. I love the randomness, the fairness, and the fact of the possibility that no one can win. It is worthwhile for anyone, and a great buy.


We opened this early Christmas week. College kids home and game night took place in front of fire. We loved it because even though you might know who caused a disappearance of a main character, where it happened, and how it was done you may never get the chance because of the dark mark! It causes you to lose house points. So you might be out of the game when your house points are gone! The room entry doors are sealed at different times. Same rules as the other Clue game, but added tweeks(Dark Mark and spells)make this game really fun.


I purchased this for my niece for Christmas. She's only 8 and the age starts at 9 but she's quite intelligent however, the difficulty of comprehension for that age is a few years off compared to a regular CLUE game. Her 18 and 20 year old cousins sat with her at Christmas and it took the three of them almost an hour and a half to comprehend the concept before they could actually play the game. They said it was fun once you got it down but said if they had to try to explain the rules to someone else it would take just as long to get through before game play could actually begin. Takes a lot of the fun out of it.


I love the game clue and this is a great variation on it. It adds some twists and turns that aren't in the basic Clue game. It is a little more complicated to learn, but once you learn it, it is easy to play. The spinning wheels under the game board are more durable than I would expect.


Anyone who is a Clue fan and can't get enough of Harry Potter will enjoy this new version of "Clue". With the market being flooded with electronic gizzmos, it's nice to have a board game to play with family.


Awesome game! You need to play it a few times before you figure out all of the rules. The dark mark cards can apply to all players or one. Read the entire card carefully. If you have extra cards that are in Dumbledor's office you can go in and look at them they are not hidden.
