Clue Express [13] (2008) Part of the Hasbro Express game series, players roll dice in this travel-sized edition to determine what actions they must take in deducing who was the brains, the brawn, and optionally the driver who planned and executed the crime. The miniseries premiered on November 14, 2011 and featured a youthful, ensemble cast loosely based on the characters of the board game, working together to unravel a mystery. Event cards are drawn from a deck upon a certain roll of the die and can have varying impact on a game. The methodology used in the early versions of Cluedo is remarkably similar to a traditional, if little known, American card game, The King of Hearts Has Five Sons. Using 9 familiar rooms matching the traditional Cluedo mansion layout, and 6 similar weapons, the gameplay is a simplified version of the standard Cluedo rules, in a miniature format.

Cluedo Super Sleuth (1995) [8] is another advanced version of the Cluedo rules, though in a different manner. A custom version of the game was also released in the US by Restoration Hardware as Wooden Box Clue with different cover art.
