The OP Games has announced the release of “Clue: Muppets,” a new twist on the classic murder mystery game. This unique version integrates the beloved characters from the Muppets franchise into the familiar Clue format, promising a delightful blend of nostalgia and intrigue.
The announcement was made during the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, where Nina West, a Muppet aficionado, and Dani Iglesias, a Producer for The Muppets, shared the details of this creative collaboration. The game is set to be available in a few months, adding to the anticipation among fans eager to explore this whimsical take on a timeless classic.
Game Premise and Characters
“Clue: Muppets” transports players to the iconic Muppet Theatre, where the Muppets are hosting a murder mystery show. The objective remains the same as the original Clue game: to solve the mystery by answering the questions of “Who,” “Where,” and “With What.” However, the twist lies in the Muppet characters assuming the roles of the classic Clue suspects. Miss Piggy takes on the role of Miss Scarlet, Kermit the Frog becomes Mayor Green, Fozzie Bear steps into the shoes of Colonel Mustard, Gonzo transforms into Professor Plum, Sam Eagle portrays Solicitor Peacock, and The Swedish Chef becomes Chef White. Uncle Deadly, known for his theatrical flair, serves as both the host of the murder mystery party and the character of Mr. Boddy.
Muppet-Themed Weapons and Settings
The game features a selection of murder weapons that are cleverly themed around iconic Muppet props. These include the Pigs in Space Zapper, Marley & Marley Chains, a Skillet with Singing Food, Kermit’s Sword from “Muppet Treasure Island,” Gonzo’s Plumbing Artiste Statue, and a Floating Candelabra from “Muppets Haunted Mansion.” These imaginative weapons not only add a layer of humor but also serve as collectible items that fans will appreciate.
The board itself is a treasure trove of Muppet-themed Easter eggs, primarily drawing inspiration from “The Muppet Show.” Players will navigate through rooms filled with nods to the franchise, such as Kermit’s coffee cup and Animal’s drum set. A nod to the original Clue game is also present, with a miniature version of the classic board game placed in a central room of the theatre.
With “Clue: Muppets,” The OP Games captures the essence of the Muppets while introducing a fresh and engaging gameplay experience. The combination of clever character assignments, themed weapons, and nostalgic references ensures that both Muppet fans and Clue enthusiasts will find something to love.
