The first title Murder Mystery: Clue reimagines the classic Clue game within Fortnite, bringing the iconic experience in a new format.

Players vote on different maps and are assigned hidden roles such as Killer, Detective, or Guest, each with specific win conditions. This new take on Clue offers a highly replayable experience, blending nostalgia with engaging gameplay that resonates with today's players.

Hasbro is embracing community-driven trends—bringing iconic games like Clue, Guess Who, and Connect Four into the spaces where players are most engaged," commented Alex Seropian, Founder and CEO of Look North World.
