Spin Master Games Clue Giant Edition Instruction Manual

Introduction

Welcome to the Spin Master Games Clue Giant Edition! This oversized version of the classic mystery game brings the fun indoors or outdoors for 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up. Your objective is to solve the mystery: figure out who is responsible for the hijinks, where it happened, and with what tool. This manual provides all the necessary information to set up, play, and maintain your game.

What's in the Box

Before you begin, ensure all components are present:

• 9 Vinyl Room Mats
• 287 Evidence Cards
• 1 Spinner
• 6 Foam Tools
• 1 Instruction Sheet

Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Clue Giant Edition game:

1. Choose Your Play Area: Select a large, flat surface either indoors or outdoors. The game requires ample space for the nine vinyl room mats.
2. Lay Out the Room Mats: Arrange the 9 vinyl room mats in a circular pattern. Each mat represents a mysterious room in the mansion.
3. Place the Spinner: Position the spinner in the center of the circular room layout, easily accessible to all players.
4. Distribute Evidence Cards: Shuffle the 287 Evidence Cards thoroughly. Place them face down near the spinner to form a draw pile.
5. Arrange Foam Tools: Place the 6 large foam tools (e.g., Rubber Mallet, Trumpet) around the play area, accessible to players.
6. Player Positioning: Each player stands or sits beside one of the room mats to begin the game.

Operating Instructions: How to Play

The goal is to be the first to solve the mystery by collecting matching colored Suspect, Room, and Tool cards, along with the corresponding foam tool.

1. Player Turn: On your turn, spin the spinner.
2. Movement: Move to a room by standing beside the room's large vinyl mat indicated by the spinner.
3. Collect Evidence Cards: Once in a room, you may pick up 2 Evidence Cards from the draw pile. You can keep only one of these cards.
4. Collect Foam Tools: Alternatively, if the spinner indicates, you might take possession of one of the 6 large foam tools.
5. Solving the Case: Your ultimate goal is to move from room to room, strategically collecting matching colored Suspect, Room, and Tool cards. Once you have a complete set of matching cards (Suspect, Room, Tool) and the corresponding foam tool, you have solved the case.
6. Winning the Game: The first player to correctly identify the suspect, the room, and the tool wins the game.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Clue Giant Edition game:

• Cleaning Vinyl Mats: The vinyl room mats can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if they become dirty. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
• Card Care: Keep the Evidence Cards dry and flat to prevent bending or damage. Store them in a box or a designated card holder.
• Foam Tools: The foam tools are durable but should be kept away from sharp objects or excessive force to prevent tearing. Clean with a damp cloth if needed.
• Storage: Store all game components in their original packaging or a suitable container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation.
