Clue Junior

Now preschoolers can get in on the mystery-solving fun with this Clue Junior game, as Hasbro offers twice the fun with a double-sided gameboard – featuring 2 school-day mystery games and 2 levels of grow-with-me play! On the Level 1 side, "Playground Mix-up game," a character has mistakenly put an item in their backpack. Players team up exploring the playground by searching for clues in seek-and-find picture tiles and deduce what item is missing and who took it to solve the mystery. When junior detectives are ready for a bit more challenge, they can flip the board over to Level 2 side, "Science Lab Mystery game." A volcano has erupted in the lab! Who set off the volcano? What did they pour into it? And where should they have been? Kids can practice drawing conclusions in a race to solve the who, what, and where. This mystery board game is perfect for fun family time, and it makes a great gift for preschoolers. (Ages 4 years & up/Players: 2-6/Approx. Retail Price: $17.99/Available: NOW)
