Cluedo Junior Board Game
Product Information: Science Lab Mystery Game
The Science Lab Mystery game is a board game that allows players
to solve a mystery involving a volcano that has erupted in the
science lab. Players must explore the school for clues to determine
who set off the volcano, what they poured into it, and where they
should have been in class instead. The game includes a gameboard, 6
character pieces, 6 furniture pieces, dice, a detective notepad,
and yellow and white bases.
What’s Included:
- Gameboard
- 6 character pieces
- 6 furniture pieces
- Dice
- Yellow and white bases
- Detective notepad
Product Usage Instructions:
- Place the gameboard where everyone can reach, with the inside
of the school face up. - Place all the yellow bases face down and shuffle them up. Then,
without peeking, put one face down in the centre of the board. This
is what was poured into the volcano to set it off! - Stick a furniture piece into each of the remaining yellow bases
(don’t look at the bottoms!) and place each one in its matching
room on the gameboard. - Set aside the white base with the volcano. Then, place the
other six white bases face down and shuffle them up. Without
peeking, put one of those bases face down in the centre of the
board. This tells you which class the sneaky student should have
been in! - Mix up the volcano base face down with the remaining white
bases. Stick a character piece into each, but don’t look at the
bottoms! The character with the volcano is the student who set it
off! - Place all the characters on their matching colour start spaces,
even if there aren’t six players. - Everyone takes a notepad sheet and a pencil (not included). You
can fold your sheet so no one can see it as you find clues and mark
it up. - Take turns rolling the die to see if you can move your
character, look under characters or check under furniture. As you
find clues, you’ll eliminate choices and eventually uncover what
happened. - Each turn, you’ll cross out TWO things! Cross out clues that
don’t match what you’ve discovered. Keep playing until someone
solves the mystery!
Enjoy playing the Science Lab Mystery game with your friends and
family!

SET IT UP
1. Place the gameboard where everyone can reach, with the inside of the school face up.
2. Place all the yellow bases face down and shuffle them up. Then, without peeking, put one face down in the centre of the board.
This is what was poured into the volcano to set it off!
3. Stick a furniture piece into each of the remaining yellow bases (don’t look at the bottoms!) and place each one in its matching room on the gameboard.
4. Set aside the white
base with the volcano. Then, place the other six

white bases face down and shuffle them up.
Without peeking, put one of those bases
face down in the centre of the board.
This tells you which class the sneaky student should have been in!
PLAY
ON YOUR TURN
Take turns rolling the die to see if you can move your character, look under characters or check under furniture. As you find clues, you’ll eliminate choices and eventually uncover what happened.
1. Roll the die.
If you roll… Do this!
The youngest player goes first and play moves to the left.
Secretly peek under any furniture piece.
Secretly peek under any character.
5. Mix up the volcano base face down with the remaining white bases. Stick a character piece into each, but don’t look at the bottoms!
The character with the volcano is the student who set it off!
6. Place all the characters on their matching colour start spaces, even if there aren’t six players.
Now everyone picks a character!
7. Everyone takes a notepad sheet and a pencil (not included). You can fold your sheet so no one can see it as you find clues and mark it up.

A number
Move your character up to that number of connecting spaces.
· You cannot land on a space if another character is already on it.
· You cannot end your turn on the space where you started.
If you rolled a number, where did you land? If you land on… Secretly peek under…
The furniture piece in that room.
Any character.
Nothing! Sorry, better luck next time.
2. Mark your sheet.
Each turn, you’ll cross out TWO things!
· If you look under a yellow base, cross out the object you see — this can’t be what was poured into the volcano! Also cross out the furniture in that base so you remember you’ve already looked in that room.
· If you look under a white base, cross out the class object you see — this can’t be the class where the culprit was supposed to be. Also cross out the character in that base UNLESS you find the volcano. Whoever has the volcano is the one who set it off, so you’ll want to circle them!
· Even when you work out who set off the volcano, you may still need to keep looking under characters to work out which class they left early.

READY TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY?
Make an accusation! You can do this at any time on your turn, even after marking your sheet.
1. Say, `(WHO) set off the volcano using (WHAT) when they should have been (WHERE).`
2. Secretly look under the bases in the centre of the board and under the character you’re accusing. Are you right about all three?
YES! You’ve solved the mystery and won the game!
NO! Oops, you’re out of the game. Don’t tell anyone the solution! The others keep playing until someone gets it right or only one player is left in the game.

SET IT UP
1. Put the gameboard where everyone can reach, playground side face up.
2. Shuffle the playground tiles and place eight of them face down randomly on each of the outlined playground spots on the board.
3. Place the remaining playground tile face down next to the board. This tile contains the missing item!
F64191021_INST_Clue_Junior Plus_23_FAR.indd 2 700 x 161 mm 4C2S pg #2
Search the picture, find the item! Each playground tile has just one item from your detective notepad sheet. Each item from your sheet appears on only one tile.
4. Place all six blue bases face down and shuffle them up. Then, without looking at the bottoms, put a character into each base. The character with the backpack is the one who took the item!
5. Place all of the characters on random, separate playground tiles. Now everyone picks which character they want to play as. Remember, don’t look under them!
6. Then take one of the detective notepad sheets and make sure you have something to write with. There are four different themes to choose in the notepad: toys, art supplies, snacks and sports gear. If you pick a toy sheet, for instance, you’ll be searching for a missing toy. Everyone shares one sheet because you’ll work together.
PLAY
The youngest player goes first! Play moves to the left.
ON YOUR TURN
1. Roll the number die and move your
character that many connected playground spaces whichever way you choose.
2. Now roll the icon die.
Ex: you rolled a 1! You can choose to move to the Slide or to the Football Net.
If you roll…
Do this!
Look under any character! Do you see the backpack? · If no, cross that character off the notepad. They didn’t take the item! · If yes, circle that character. They have the missing item!
Already know who has the backpack? Then you can stop rolling the icon die on your turns and just flip a playground tile!
Flip over the playground tile on this spot. Now search for an item from your notepad sheet! Once you find the item, cross it off your sheet. Remember, you can work together! Keep the tile face up so you remember that you’ve already searched there.
Pick either option!
3. Now it’s the next player’s turn. Keep going until you’ve crossed out all but
one item (that’s what’s missing) and have discovered which character has the backpack (that’s who took it). You’ve solved the mystery!
WIN
Once you’ve solved the mystery (meaning you’ve crossed out all but one item and know who has the backpack), it’s time for the big reveal. Flip over the playground tile that’s off the board and see if you can spot the missing item. Well done working together to solve the mix-up!
BONUS FUN!
Your family can use the playground tiles to make up your own ‘find the object’ games! For example, ask your child to spot something blue, or race to see who can find a toy first!
