azbee123 Jan 03, 2006	YEAH DUDE7!!! you are too cool.
WJSMama Jan 03, 2006	That was cute. I should have got it, Clue was one of my favorites when I was a kid!
Barticus Jan 03, 2006	The original name of the game is Cluedo, which is a pun on Ludo. Ludo is called Pachisi in the USA, so the name of the Cluedo was changed to Clue. I like this teaser, but Cluedo shoudl be listed as an alternate answer.
mogur Jan 03, 2006	Right you are, my dear Barticus. It was originally a UK creation.
bluehawk Jan 03, 2006	cute. i got a couple. whats up with some people? they waste so much energy by being aggrivated. thats not what life is all about. thank goodness for braingle.
thimblenoggin Jan 03, 2006	Fortuately I played a game of Clue with my family less than a week ago. That, and this, were both fun.
shrina77 Jan 03, 2006	I love Cluedo!
bootscooter58 Jan 03, 2006	How cute. I got all the colors, but certainly didn't put them together with Clue. Thanks for starting off my day with a smile. "Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"
EddieBoy Jan 03, 2006	I think it's Reverend Green...not Mr.
coachpisco Jan 03, 2006	I never played Clue, so I didn't have one, a clue, that is.
smee Jan 03, 2006	This was a really great teaser! I had to look at the answer(s) but it was fun. I've never played the game Clue, but I've seen the movie a few times. It's hilarious! It has Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Michael Keaton, Leslie Ann Warren, Christopher Lloyd, and I forget who else, but it was a riot!
smee Jan 03, 2006	Oh, I remember now.... Mr. Green was played by Michael Keaton, Professor Plum was Christopher Lloyd, Mrs. Peacock was Eileen Brennan, Mrs. White was Madeline Kahn, Miss Scarlet was Leslie Ann Warren, Colonel Mustard was Martin Mull, and Tim Curry played the butler.
speediebean Jan 03, 2006	Oh boy, this was an excellent one!! Used to play that game with the family not too many years ago, but still didn't put the CLUEs together to get the correct answer! Very very fun indeed!! And, right you are smee, that movie was fanshmabulous!!! Mr. Curry is priceless!!
doka13 Jan 03, 2006	wow that was hard... but it was full fun
geniesue Jan 03, 2006	I was clueless!
question Jan 03, 2006	I was thinking they were all crayola colors or Martha stewart paint colors or something crazy like that.. fun!
ishouldntbehere Jan 03, 2006	i didn't really enjoy this one, it was, i dont know, too broad. the answer that is. like the one with the thomas the train engine names, i didn't like that one either.

ragethe3rd Jan 03, 2006	Never played clue so no idea...
iteachkids Jan 03, 2006	lmurray has much in common with ishouldntbehere ... Personally, as a non-Clue player and an American, I learned a great deal from this. Not just from the clues and the answers, but also from the questions and answers in the comments. Keep 'em coming!!!
lorelle_b Jan 03, 2006	hehe, so i got white, scarlet and plum right...i thought peacock was parrot, and mustard was catsup....oh well, haha 50% that's an...F! OMG I FAILED oh well great teaser

rubberducky36 Jan 03, 2006	tricky, but the hint really helped.
jabdr Jan 03, 2006	Well Life...I too was clueless. The hint threw me off though.Board games, plural....I got Clue a coule of times and was trying to work in monopoly and ladders and shutes and trivial pursuit..you get the idea/ Great way to start off the New Year.
teen_wiz Jan 03, 2006	This is a really great teaser . Not too easy , and not too hard . I got it too! (It's impressive for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Keep 'em coming!
nightowl19 Jan 03, 2006	I love this puzzle!! As an avid clue player, this is top-notch!
BrenBeadSP Jan 03, 2006	Excellent - like two for one thinking. I always loved Clue. Thanks for the fun.
mllee1974 Jan 03, 2006	darnnnnnnnn...I missed a couple of the colors, and was so preoccupied with those, I couldn't even move on to the board game name!! ...I love these little faces!! LOL Good job!!
bballer21 Jan 03, 2006	i got all of the words but i thought theywere all considered colors exceelent teaser- i loved it
bookerj07 Jan 03, 2006	didnt get it pretty hard for me
superben Jan 03, 2006	I never played clue. What the heck is it.? I got the plum and white ones right. It was okay.
shawneeo Jan 03, 2006	I didn't get it! I noticed a "u" in mustard, then two "u"'s in the two months between May and July, so then I was on a roll... the wrong way... Oh well, to feel better, I'll complain: I don't know if white is really considered a "neutral" color. Since "ecru" IS a "neutral" color, that gave more ammunition to my "u" theory. I'm not totally sure, but I don't think of white as neutral, that's like, beige, ecru, tan, isn't it? White is at one end of the scale, it's an extreme. Thanks though, still fun and good!
c_rae Jan 03, 2006	Fun and creative! Good job! Keep 'em coming!
teri12265 Jan 04, 2006	I was stuck on green as both May and August are 5 months from their side of the calendar. My daughter helped out with scarlet, and she figured out it was Clue. We had fun! Thanks!
iamawesome Jan 06, 2006	i got it after i read the hint too...i liked this one though...
monielove1 Jan 14, 2006	never played clue so i was clueless
zonarita Mar 19, 2006	Gr8t teaser. I got half of it. Been awhile since I played clue. Really fun. Gr8t job!
calmsavior Sep 21, 2006	WOW!
OldChinaHand Jan 03, 2007	Is there any other game else beside the game of Clue, that has a combination of mustard and plum in it? Fun teaser.
coachpisco Jan 03, 2007	I've never played Clue, so I didn't get this one. However, I was thinking about colors of the rainbow. The teaser was cute though. Thanks.
bradon182001 Jan 03, 2007	Ditto Coachpisco.
Pizzazz2u Jan 03, 2007	OMG! My parents had us playing Clue, just after we starting learning words in childhood....lol And, I am only a baby-boomer. The professor was always my favorite The candlestick, the revolver, and a few more items were there too. And the different rooms ....
zaya Jan 03, 2007	Fun concept, but simple if you know the game, I figured it out after Mustard and Plum. FYI Its called Clue in North America, Cluedo in the rest of the world.
scallio Jan 03, 2007	Awesome teaser! I didn't know other countries call it Cluedo. I love the game and this teaser.
speedqueenkmw Jan 03, 2007	I love playing Clue for money.
lmurray Jan 03, 2007	THIS CERTAINLY BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES. THE "CLUES" WERE OBVIOUS, BUT THE COMMONALITY WAS THE TRICK. GOOD ONE!
schmedley9 Jan 03, 2007	very creative
katjojo Jan 03, 2007	Cute!!
cloughme Jan 03, 2007	Good Job! It took me a minute after I figured out they were all colors to put it together with the game "Clue." I'ver never heard of "Cluedo" either. Excellent!
teddybair Jan 03, 2007	Good one! I figured it was from the game of Clue, but couldn't remember all the characters as it's been so long since I've played it. It was fun though!
doog Jan 03, 2007	ooOOh, so I should have played Clue before I tried this.
ejhops Jan 03, 2007	Nice One! I got all the clues, but the link? Very tricky!
ejhops Jan 03, 2007	Oh! I forgot to mention, for all the people confused about the name, Clue is its North American name, while Cluedo is its original British name.
sweetblood Jan 03, 2007	this was a good one you totaly stumped me
breathesunshine Jan 03, 2007	I had half of them, then looked at the hint. As soon as I did I knew it was Clue. Thanks for the childhood reminder of fun sprawled on the floor with friends playing board games!
I_Write_Books Jan 03, 2007	I really enjoyed this teaser! I was definitely clueless...but still had fun trying! Thanks
ks_tornado39 Jan 03, 2007	Yay, I got this one! Used to play Clue all the time as a kid.
wordmama Jan 03, 2007	All I needed was Mustard and Plum to get the common thread Clue. Then missed 'green' and got the rest. Fun! It was interesting to learn the original European name, Cluedo. And another positive comment from you-know-who!! I'm so excited! I'm pulling for you to keep it up!! Happy New Year!
utnative Jan 04, 2007	THIS WAS A GREAT TEASER. I LOVED IT.
Qrystal Jan 04, 2007	That was a great teaser!! I'm still grinning!! I love the game Clue, and I'm half inclined to start calling it Cluedo to join the rest of the world. I got the answer just from mixing mustard, grape, and white, and then realizing that grape should actually be plum. I had no idea why green worked for the months until I looked at the answer, but I realize now that I should've known. My sister, who's here visiting, was working through the teaser after I insisted that she'd enjoy the answer... She quickly got peacock to add to the three mentioned above, but had to think about the other two. I told her I didn't see how the clue for #3 fit the answer, in case that helped. After puzzling over it awhile, she said to herself out loud, "I don't have a clue--- OH! CLUE!!!" I'm gonna go find an online game of clue now.
amb1912 Jan 04, 2007	cool good job! i liked it1 the hint helped 2.
Cat-Lady Jan 08, 2007	Mustard, eggplant, 5mths from begin/end of year, magenta, white....aaauuggh But got it from the hint! Fantastic teaser. The nostolgia of playing Clue made this most enjoyable. So, we ALL liked it Keep em coming!!
vlerma Jan 17, 2007	I got all the colors, but had never played Clue so I only got half the answer.
reptile5000 May 31, 2007	Very good teaser
jimbooth019 Jan 03, 2010	Would never have figured it out without the hint. I was clueless
doehead Jan 03, 2010	Never played the game, so I was completely clueless.
patiencewithaP Jan 03, 2010	I got it after getting mustard and scarlett...but couldn't figure out how May and August came up with green. Fun and very creative!
auntiesis Jan 03, 2010	Never played the game, but loved the movie. Wacky cast, great movie. Fun teaser.
Johnny Jan 03, 2010	I've never played Clue!!! nice puzzle....
hubbamutt777 Jan 10, 2010	OMgoodness! Imurray actually LIKED a teaser! i feel faint from surprise! great one! ive only played Clue twice, so the teaser didnt 'click' with it in my mind good job, though!
GreenApples27 Sep 22, 2011	Do Americans say Mr Green? In NZ we say Reverend Green.
Candi7 Jun 22, 2012	I got them all except #3, but then I knew that it was green but not why. Soi had 2 look at the answer
Babe Jan 03, 2013	I was clueless as I do not play board games. Did not have a clue!!!
gaylewolf Jan 03, 2013	I LOVE board games and Clue is one of my favorites - especially with the grandchildren. Thanks for a fun quiz.
thecatladycac Jan 03, 2013	After the 1st two (mustard and plum) I figured it must be the characters in the game of clue. Although I got them, I couldn't get the connection between May and August and the color green - until I looked at the answer - very clever!
