Murder!: The unknown story of the invention of Clue
Anthony Pratt sat at home with his wife, day after day, unable to do the things they loved. They couldn’t see friends or go to restaurants or attend parties. They were stuck inside.
This wasn’t 2020 during a pandemic, but more than 70 years ago during WWII in Britain. Air raids forced people inside and, as you can probably relate, it became very monotonous.
To pass the time, Pratt and his wife Elva invented the game that would become one of the most successful board games of all time - a murder mystery game called Clue.
Deseret News spoke to Marcia Lewis, Pratt’s daughter, and got to the bottom of the mystery of one of the world’s most famous murder mystery games.

This was fantastic! Thanks for talking to me about Clue. Please make more of these!
You guys are such a diamond in the rough on KZread, I don’t understand how such high production journalism can go largely unnoticed on KZread. You’re like Vox and Vice, but with a homespun appeal

@@DeseretNews I think y’all deleted my reply. What’s your relationship with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints? I recently stumbled upon your connections and Im curious how that affects your journalistic integrity?
Clue was my absolute favorite board game growing up. It was so fun to learn about its creation and about Anthony Pratt and his family!
Did anyone play VCR Clue back in the late 80s/early 90s? 😁 Or Clue on Nintendo? 😊
I'm very excited to be playing Anthony Pratt in a forthcoming drama-documentary about Cluedo for the History Channel. As a child, I loved Cluedo and still do.😆
I was curious about the story behind Clue and this video was just perfect! It's so interesting!
