Last week, you proved you know the Clue characters as surely as if Mrs. White was your kindly old granny and Colonel Mustard was your eccentric uncle. But are you as sharp on the rooms Mr. Boddy may have been killed in? As with the characters quiz, we’re talking originals – no rooms from the revamped versions have been included. Good luck!
Take the Quiz: Name the 9 Clue Rooms
Billards… not pool…. d’oh.

Got it done with 9 seconds left. Phew.

Completed in 18 seconds…but I am the mother of an 8 year old who plays my old game, so maybe that’s not fair…=)

Whew! Made it with just 16 seconds to spare.
And simply for the absurdity of it:

100% in about 30 seconds. This may be the second time in which playing the game and watching the movie incessantly have come in very handy.

Bah. I missed the study and the billiard room. I hang my head in shame.

Love, love, love the timed quizzes.
Please keep them coming – something about the combination of the seconds counting down and entering guesses into a text box is terribly satisfying.

Missed the lounge! It’s been ages since I played Clue, I’m surprised I managed 8 of them.

Kevin R – I WROTE the quiz, including putting the answers into the quiz tool, and then took it to test it. I forgot the lounge. So you’re in good company. Or stupid company, I’m not sure which.

Blew through the first 8, then forgot one of the easiest…the Dining Room. :-/

Forgot the Lounge too! I just watched the movie this weekend, I’m ashamed :)

Brucey I’m with you… how on earth did we forget Dining Room?? Where they famously consumed monkey brains in the movie!
