The classic detective game! In Clue, players move from room to room in a mansion to solve the mystery of: who done it, with what, and where? Players are dealt character, weapon, and location cards after the top card from each card type is secretly placed in the confidential file in the middle of the board. Players must move to a room and then make an accusation against a character saying they did it in that room with a specific weapon. The player to the left must show one of any cards accused to the accuser if in that player's hand. Through deductive reasoning each player must figure out which character, weapon, and location are in the secret file. To do this, each player must uncover what cards are in other players hands by making more and more accusations. Once a player knows what cards the other players are holding they will know what cards are in the secret file. A great game for those who enjoy reasoning and thinking things out.

This is different than the Trivial Pursuit. It was put out by Disney with Mattel. The game comes in a metal film can, and has cute pawns with mouse ears rather than wedges. The board itself is also shaped as a Mickey head, with ears that fold in to a circle for storage in the round container.

Play is pretty standard trivia mechanics, using 5 categories of:

Animation
Film
Song
Personalities
Mousellaneous.

All questions are Disney-related (unlike Trivial Pursuit that has only 1 or 2 Disney questions per card.)

Includes 400 Adult cards (2000 questions) and 100 Kids' cards (500 questions).

Playtime depends on your knowledge of Disney, if you go to the parks and movies often, you'll get questions right and end the game more quickly.

From the back of the box.

Peter, the big, lovable loaf who always says what's on his mind. Lois the adoring mother who can't figure out why her baby son keeps trying to kill her. Their daughter Meg the teen drama queen who's constantly embarrassed by her family. Chris, the beefy 13-year-old who wouldn't hurt a fly, unless it landed on his hot dog. Stewie, the maniacal one-year-old bent on world domination. And Brian, the sarcastic dog with a wit as dry as the martinis he drinks.

Now at long last, a Trivia Game based on television's most dysfunctional cartoon family!

1000 Trivia Questions will keep you guessing-- and laughing!

The game's theme is based on answering questions relating to popular advertising logos and brands. Players move their pawns around a spiraling board for answering questions correctly relating to a logo, until they get to the Winning Zone at the centre of the board. Movement depends on the successful answering of questions to proceed to the next coloured area on the board.

Different countries have different versions of the game, with many local brands represented in each edition.

There are 400 cards with 4 questions on each card - blue, green, yellow and red.

The winning player is the first person to get around the board by answering the most questions correctly. They then win by answering all the questions on a card (blue, green, yellow and red question) whilst in the Winning Zone.

Game play alternates as players take it in turn to ask questions and move around the board.

From Hasbro:

Now you can bring the hit TV quiz show home! Find out if you make the grade!

Play the game that pits the kids against the grownups for ultimate bragging rights. All you have to do to claim victory is answer 11 questions that the average 5th grader knows.

Sounds like child's play, but would you know...

Which U.S. President is featured on the face of a nickel?
What is the heaviest land animal?
What geologic era are we in right now?
A decagon has how many sides?

...or would you need to "cheat" off a classmate to answer correctly?

You may not have all the answers, but know you'll either walk away with the $1,000,000 prize or have to admit, "I am not smarter than a 5th grader."

Object: Be first to win a million dollars! If no player reaches the Million Dollar level, the
player with the most money wins the game.
