How to Play Clue Jr – Game Rules and Instructions in Simple Step


What is the goal?

Someone broke one of the toys and you need to find out:

  • which toy is broken,
  • who broke it, and
  • when they did it!
  • Gameboard,
  • 6 Clue character pawns
  • 6 furniture tokens,
  • 7 white bases,
  • 7 yellow bases,
  • detective notepad, die, and
  • label sheet
  • Place all of the yellow bases facedown and mix them up. Do not peek. Put one facedown in the board’s center. This is the time the toy was broken!
  • Place a furniture token into each of the left-over yellow bases (don’t look at the bottoms) and place each token in its appropriate room on the gameboard.
  • Set aside the white base with the toy chest, Place face-down the others, and mix them up. Without peeking, put one of those bases facedown in the board’s center. This is the broken toy.
  • Mix up the toy chest base with the remaining white bases, and place a character pawn into each. The character pawn with the toy chest broke the toy!
  • Place all character pawns on matching start spaces, even if there aren’t six players. Everyone begins to pick a character!
  • Everyone takes a notepad sheet and keeps their notepad entries hidden from others
