'Clue' Reality Competition Show in the Works at Netflix
Netflix adapts the iconic Clue board game into a reality competition where contestants solve a murder mystery through physical and mental challenges.
- On October 7, 2025, Netflix announced it has greenlit an unscripted competition series based on Clue, the Hasbro board game, as a real-life whodunit competition.
- The project comes from Hasbro Entertainment working with IPC and B17, enabled by Sony Pictures Television's recent rights deal and Clue's 150M copies sold since 1949.
- The format requires players to face physical and mental challenges to collect clues, then assume roles like Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlett to identify the suspect, location, and weapon, adding to the prize pot or risking elimination.

- Clue's screen history shows multiple adaptations, most notably the 1985 Clue film starring Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.
