Giant game of Clue is coming to Pittsburgh
For one day, the city will become a giant, interactive game board.
CluedUpp was developed in Britain and is coming to Pittsburgh on June 22 under the name Sneaky Finders.
Similar to the classic board game, Clue, this crime-solving, murder mystery game puts your team in the roles of detectives roaming through town, finding virtual witnesses, interpreting clues and “trying to bring a killer to justice,” according to the CluedUpp website.
Up to six adults can form a team and the entrance fee is $46 per team.

The game is played digitally on a smartphone so your team will need one.
The game starts between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. and teams need to wrap it up before 5 p.m.
CluedUpp says “the average squad of detectives take around 2 hours 20 minutes to solve the crime.”
The company is expecting more than 100 detective teams to participate and prizes are awarded for 1920s dress so you may see some unusual bands of characters in your neighborhood.

Cleveland is playing May 25 if you want to get a sneak peek at the game.
How fun does this sound?! ?
The game, described as a giant version of the classic board game Clue, starts downtown. Players use a phone app to track down virtual witnesses and solve the murder. Kind of like Pokemon Go, murder mystery style. https://t.co/HDJ6ZQQQfQ— clevelanddotcom (@clevelanddotcom) April 2, 2019
