How to play Cluedo: Master Detective on Mac

Game summary

A murder is announced. Whodunit? Was it Madam Rose in the carriage house with the poison? Monsieur Brunette in the trophy room with the horseshoe? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with his trusty revolver? Play the home computer version of your favorite game of criminal detection just as you would on the board game, with friends. Or do what you can't do with the board version: play against the ultimate master of deduction, your own computer! You can even do both: play with a mixture of human and computer-controlled opponents! Enjoy the enhancements the computer can bring to the game play, such as graphic animation and sound. Watch Miss Peach stroll into the gazebo and hear the twittering of songbirds. Clue Master Detective is an enhanced version of the game Clue you know and love. The new game has even more to exercise your "little grey cells"- more suspects, more possible murder locations (indoors and outdoors), and more weapons- in fact, more mayhem! So put away your violin, put on your deerstalker hat, fill your meerschaum pipe, and start sleuthing! Who will be the first to the solution? You, your friends, or the computer? The game's afoot!
First released: Dec 1990

Play Cluedo: Master Detective on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Cluedo: Master Detective on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
