Cluedo Notes (or Detective Notebook for Clue) is an essential companion for anyone who takes their tabletop mystery-solving seriously. Ditching the paper and pencil for this app is a game-changer. The interface is designed to look exactly like the physical notebook, so there's zero learning curve, but the digital benefits—like the 'number tags' for advanced deduction—are massive.

What I love most is the customization. Being able to add custom guests and weapons means you can use this app for almost any variant of Clue, not just the standard board. It's fast, responsive, and works perfectly in dark mode for those late-night game sessions. It’s a niche tool, but it’s polished to perfection and does exactly what it promises without any intrusive ads.

Dinsun Review

I don't even know if I should call this a 'game.' It's a tool. If you're the kind of person who loses the little paper pads that come with Clue, then sure, this is for you. It does exactly what it says: it lets you tick boxes. But as a gamer, I find the reliance on a phone during a tabletop session to be a distraction. It's clean, it has a dark mode, and it works, but there's no 'soul' here.

It’s a one-time purchase with no ads, which I respect—God knows the App Store is full of enough garbage. But it feels like a solution in search of a problem. If you’re a Clue fanatic who plays every weekend, maybe you'll get some use out of it. Otherwise, stick to the paper. It doesn’t run out of battery.

Tips

Using Number Tags

Use the number tags to track which player showed you a card. This allows you to cross-reference and figure out the missing pieces much faster than a standard 'X' or 'O'.
