For many people, autumn is all about picking out cosy outfits and sipping on pumpkin spice lattes – but for others it’s the official start of Halloween.
The lead-up to October marks the official start of the spooky season.
This Halloween will feature the return of a family favourite.
Classic murder mystery game, Cluedo, has become up to date for a new generation of players.
Escape to Mr Black’s Mansion this Halloween
Cluedo Escape: Treachery at Tudor Mansion features the familiar characters and story of the original.
We want people around the UK to experience it to its full this Halloween in locations that incarnate Mr Black’s famous country retreat.
However, it tweaks the formula by adding the fun of the modern escape room craze to the gameplay.
Cluedo Escape is described as an “immersive, cinematic, single-play experience”.
Players move their pieces around a gameboard that’s built room-by-room as they draw cards.
They also solve puzzles and unlock new rooms.
In addition, they’ll use deduction to uncover clues that can be used to make an accusation after escaping the house.
