Dr. Black (Mr. Boddy in North America) has been murdered in his own mansion and the six people that were present are now considered suspects. Players take the role of any of the six suspects and receive cards containing illustrations of the suspects, the rooms or the weapons. One card of each category is placed in an envelope. To play, the suspects must enter a room in the mansion and make a suggestion such as, "It was Miss Scarlett in the kitchen with the lead piping." A different player can reveal a card that matches the suggestion to disprove it. To win the game, a player must make an accusation that matches all three cards contained in the envelope. If the accusation is wrong, the player must sit out for the rest of the game. Note that a player can accuse his own character if he believes himself to be the murderer. It doesn't make much sense if you think about it, though they could have had amnesia, leading to a Tomato in the Mirror moment. The popularity of the game has caused it to be remade into a plethora of different locations and decades over the years. It was popular enough to have its own film, book series, video game adaptations, a game show and a Teen Drama miniseries on The Hub. The film itself (starring Tim Curry) is considered a cult classic.
