the screen. To access the Inventory Bar, move your cursor to the bottom of
the screen. The appropriate bar will appear.

The Main Gameplay Area is your view into the
Cluedo Chronicles world. Move your cursor
around and explore. As you play, you will
encounter movies and animations. To bypass
a movie or animation, simply click your mouse.
Hint: The in-game movies and animations
may or may not contain clues.
6
Hotspots
As your cursor moves around the Main Gameplay Area, you will see it
change in appearance.
A magnifying glass means you’ve discovered something of interest.
Click on the object to learn more.
A large arrow means you can move in the direction the arrow is pointing.
The Characters/Suspects
The most intriguing part of the Cluedo Chronicles world is the characters.
As you explore the game environment, you’ll meet classic Cluedo favourites
like Miss Scarlett and Col. Mustard. However, you’ll also discover several
new people with whom you may want to mingle. Don’t be shy.
Items
Sometimes you’ll find an object or cluedo that you can pick up by simply
clicking on it. The item will then appear in your Inventory Bar at the bottom
of the screen. What you can learn from these objects or do with these
objects is for you to discover…
Puzzles
As you make your way through the game, you will encounter a variety of
tricky challenges. You must get past these challenges in order to advance
in the game.
Tip: Make sure you interview as many people as you can, and map out the
areas you visit. All of the puzzle answers are in the game! If all else fails,
remember the hints.

Your notepad is used for two purposes.

people and investigate, statements will
appear in your notepad for you to recall as
you play the game. Whenever you are not
interviewing a character, left-click on the
notepad icon to access the notes. Click on
the arrow buttons at the bottom of the pad
to scroll through the pages.
The notepad is also used to conduct
interviews with the other characters. When
you click on a character, your notepad will
open up. Select the question you would like
to ask by clicking on the empty box next to
an entry. A red checkmark will appear and a
question will then appear on-screen.
Click on the question to ask it.
Note: Grey checkmarks indicate questions that you have already asked.
You may, however, ask them again. Who knows, someone may change
his/her story!
HINTS
Sometimes you need a little hint to move you along or to just confirm what
you already knew. Hints come in three stages: A riddle, then a suggestion,
and finally… the answer.
