Clue Junior: Science Lab Mystery & Playground Mix-Up
Official Game Instructions
Level 2: Science Lab Mystery
Objective: Explore the school for clues to determine WHO set off the volcano, WHAT they poured into it, and WHERE they should have been in class. Compete to solve the mystery individually.
What You'll Need:
- Gameboard
- 6 character pieces
- 6 furniture pieces
- 7 yellow bases
- 7 white bases
- 6 blue bases
- 3 dice
- Dice label sheet
- 2 detective notepads
Set It Up:
- Place the gameboard with the inside of the school face up.
- Shuffle the yellow bases face down. Place one face down in the center of the board (this is what was poured into the volcano).
- Place a furniture piece into each of the remaining yellow bases and put them in their matching rooms on the gameboard.
- Set aside the white base with the volcano. Place the other six white bases face down and shuffle them. Put one face down in the center of the board (this indicates the class the student should have been in).
- Mix the volcano base face down with the remaining white bases. Place a character piece into each, without looking at the bottoms. The character with the volcano is the student who set it off.
- Place all characters on their matching color start spaces.
- Everyone takes a notepad sheet and a pencil (not included). Fold the sheet to keep your clues secret.
Play:
The youngest player goes first, and play moves to the left.
On Your Turn:
- Roll the die:
- A number: Move your character up to that number of connecting spaces. You cannot land on or end your turn on a space occupied by another character or your starting space.
- Secretly peek under any furniture piece: If you land on a space with a number, you can secretly peek under the furniture piece in that room.
- Secretly peek under any character: If you land on a space with a number, you can secretly peek under any character.
- Nothing: Sorry, better luck next time.
- Mark your sheet: Cross out two things based on your actions.
- If you look under a yellow base, cross out the object seen and the furniture in that base.
- If you look under a white base, cross out the class object seen. If you find the volcano, circle the character associated with it.

- 9 playground tiles
- 1 detective notepad sheet
- 2 dice
Set It Up:
- Place the gameboard with the playground side face up.

Play:
The youngest player goes first, and play moves to the left.
On Your Turn:
- Roll the number die: Move your character that many connected playground spaces.
- Roll the icon die:
- [Magnifying glass symbol]: Look under any character. If they don't have the backpack, cross them off the notepad. If they do, circle them.
- [Question mark symbol]: Flip over the playground tile on your current spot. Search for an item from your notepad sheet and cross it off. Leave the tile face up.
- [Choice symbol]: Pick either option.
- It's the next player's turn. Continue until all but one item is crossed off and you know who has the backpack.
Win:
Once the mystery is solved, flip over the playground tile that was set aside to reveal the missing item. Congratulations on solving the mix-up together!
