The movie clue doesn't really allow you to solve the mystery because it had like three optional outcomes that were effectively random. A major point of the mystery genre, even if you are just reading a mystery novel, is to solve the mystery as the reader. Clue didn't really allow me to solve the mystery because it never really decided who killed Mr. Body (it decided there were three possibilities and picked on depending on what night you went to the movie)----I realize once it was on video they reworked those into a sequence, but in the theaters, you got one ending. I have nothing against clue, it is a great movie, and I think that was an innovative twist that made the viewing experience a joy. But it isn't how I would structure a mystery adventure if my aim is for the players to be the ones solving the mystery.</p></blockquote><p></p>
