Life size clue game

Life-Sized Clue was not my idea initially - I was given control of the project for the YAB group. I knew about it for almost two months, and let it sit idle for a month and a half. We all had other projects on our plates and no time to worry about an event that seemed to have already written itself. Then, two weeks before we were scheduled to run the event, I got bored. It's never safe when I get bored. One brainstorming session later, I had a paper full of ideas to bring to the next YAB…

On Saturday, my coworker S and I did a program for middle schoolers. We played life-sized Clue! It was an idea I got from the ILA conference last fall when they had a showcase for the state summer reading theme: Get in the Game - Read! When I found out that my library's programming theme for the spring was "Get Out and Play!", I immediately wanted to do this game at my library. We had a pretty good turnout (despite the fact that the weather was gorgeous for the first time since October or…

CLUE Hunt Party Game - Fright At Home

Life-sized board games are all the rage right now. Not long ago I got to try my hand at it when we did a Live Clue program for teens. Unfortunately, I can't take credit for developing this program. That credit belongs to my predecessor, who is now working in another department at the library. But she did such a good job with this program that we had lots of requests to do it again this year. Fortunately, my predecessor was willing to help out with the program and show me how it's supposed to…

For Teen Read Week (TRW) I planned and hosted a Life Size Clue event for the teens at one of my library branches. I was lucky enough to receive one of the ten TRW grants through YALSA and the Dollar General Literacy Foundation to fund this event. The TRW theme this year was "Seek the Unknown." That paired with several of my regular teens' interest in crime and mystery TV shows, prompted me to plan the Life Size Clue event. I found inspiration online from GreenBean TeenQueen, Abby the…

Inspired by the murder mystery game of Clue, this scavenger hunt takes it to the next level. No board, no scripts, no complicated or expensive set-up—JUST FUN!

We all love the classic game of Clue where each player tries to figure out whodunnit. But what if the whole game was given a twist into a game of whereyougonnadoit, instead. Are you with me? This d…

Description I was thinking of making a custom Clue game, and I needed a template. I thought I'd post this in case anyone else had the same idea. Free to use. No need to credit me; I just made this based on the existing game.

“I think it is Mrs. White, in the courtyard, with a dagger!” – sounds creepy yet thrilling right? Clue is one such classic mystery game that brings out your inner detective. clue board game | clue game | clue dinner party | christmas games for family | fun christmas games | christmas games for family funny | christmas games ideas |

After the success of my other life size game events (Clue, Candy Land, & Sorry), I decided to try another this past summer. Inspired by fabulous librarian bloggers (Amy, Anna, Anne, Kelly, & Laura), I chose to do Life Size Chutes & Ladders. Setup was easy (not as easy as Sorry, but a lot easier than Clue). My supplies included paper (8.5 x11) in 4 colors, packing tape, masking tape, and yarn. I printed arrows on the paper, taped them down on the carpet. I used masking tape to make the…
