Is it time for a new champion in the world of whodunits?

For decades, Cluedo (or Clue, as it’s known in North America) has been the undisputed king of murder mystery games. With its iconic characters, memorable mansion, and clever gameplay, it redefined the genre and has remained a fan favorite since its release in 1949. But the real question is: has anything come close to matching Cluedo’s legendary status since?
Despite the success of the murder mystery genre in film and television, the board game world hasn’t seen a truly revolutionary murder mystery game since Cluedo’s reign began. Sure, there have been some attempts, but none have managed to capture the magic and intrigue of unmasking a culprit with the same strategic depth or widespread appeal.
For years, Cluedo has had the genre to itself — but that’s about to change.
Enter Who Murdered the Turtle? Coming soon to Kickstarter, Who Murdered the Turtle? is poised to shake up the murder mystery landscape. This card-based game is full of strategic twists, backstabbing, and a roster of adorable, yet deadly, turtles. Imagine a murder mystery with the charm of a cartoon, but with the cunning gameplay that forces you to outthink your friends — all while trying to avoid becoming the next victim.

Who Murdered the Turtle? brings a fresh approach to the genre by combining strategic deduction with the thrill of a hidden role game. It’s fast-paced, filled with tense moments, and balances fun with a high level of tactical play. With its cute artwork, clever action cards, and strategic depth, it’s shaping up to be the next big hit in the murder mystery genre.
Cluedo’s run as the reigning champion might finally have a worthy contender. Stay tuned for the launch of Who Murdered the Turtle? on Kickstarter and see if it lives up to the legacy!
