Our story begins with a board game originally invented in 1943 by Anthony Pratt, a British musician who envisioned a murder-mystery game to entertain people during air-raid shelter stays in World War II. The game, originally called Cluedo (a mashup of 'clue' and 'ludo,' meaning 'I play' in Latin), was later licensed by Parker Brothers and became the beloved classic we know as Clue.
