About the game
A children's "Jr." version of the classic Clue game. Instead of discovering who killed "Mr. Boddy," players have to discover "Who ate the cake?" Players have to discover who ate the cake, what time the cake was eaten, and what drink, was eaten with the cake. The mechanics are also simplified for this children's version of Clue, but is still very similar to Clue.
