Cluedo: Passport to Murder is a board game released in 2000 for 2–6 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Roll / Spin and Move, Dice Rolling, and Paper-and-Pencil.
This version of Cluedo has the same game play mechanics as Super Cluedo Challenge. However, instead of taking place in the usual Cluedo mansion, the game takes place in a railway station in Istanbul. The board depicts two station platforms and also a train which is positioned between them (clearly the Orient Express, although it is never named as such in the rules). As in Super Cluedo Challenge, there are now nine suspects, nine weapons and nine rooms. Being a train station, the rooms include things such as Ticket Office, Lost Property and Kiosk. There are also a few rooms situated on the train such as the Dining Car and Engine Room. The additional murder suspects are Miss Peach, Mr Brown and Earl Grey (changed from Mr Slate-Grey in Super Cluedo Challenge). The additional murder weapons are an axe, a bottle of poison and a Blunderbuss. This version of Cluedo has only been released in France, Italy, the UK and Spain.
Cluedo: Passport to Murder supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Cluedo: Passport to Murder is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Cluedo: Passport to Murder for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Cluedo: Passport to Murder has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
