New Escape Room Coming to Cincinnati Drops Players in the Middle of the CLUE Board

The ultimate whodunnit is being brought to life in Cincinnati this summer, allowing you to thwart a killer’s plan while trying to break out of the famous rooms of this bloodthirsty board game.

Breakout Games is teaming up with Hasbro to launch the first official “CLUE: The Escape Room.” In this interactive experience based on the traditional CLUE storyline, players will have an hour to figure out who is plotting the murder, with what weapon and in which room. Players will get to interact with all the suspected murder weapons, inspect some of the rooms from the game and fill out a deduction card on which they will submit their final accusation.

“Our motto is ‘escape ordinary,’ so what better way to do that than transform a classic game like CLUE into a thrilling, real-life experience?” Bryce Anderson, co-founder of Breakout Games, said in a press release. “Creating connections is at the heart of what we do through our escape rooms, and we’re excited to bring another unique opportunity for friends, family and coworkers to build relationships and have fun together.”

“CLUE has inspired generations of players to come together in friendly competition,” Matt Proulx of Hasbro shared in the release. “Its iconic characters and gameplay have inspired countless interpretations over the decades, and an escape room is a brilliant, natural evolution. Breakout Games has done a tremendous job translating the tabletop experience into an escape room that brings the CLUE experience to life.”

The game will come to the Breakout Games Hyde Park location at the end of July.
