Join the cast of “Clue” for a silly and spooky show based on the classic
board game. Everyone gathers at a dinner party full of mystery and intrigue when
the Who’s Who and the Who-Dun-It questions begin. As fingers are pointed at each
person, the body count rises and the antics get goofy. Will they ever figure out
what happened? Will you? Watch this fun flick with your family and friends, try
out these fun activities and you’re sure to PIECE together one fun Tweens &
Teens Movie Night!
Wear While Watching:
*Invite your family or guests to dress up as the characters of the movie:
Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mrs. Peacock, Mr. Green, Professor Plum, Miss
Scarlett, even the Butler, Maid and Cook could be included.
*If you want to create your own Mr. & Mrs. Name tags of your own. Use the
names of colors or animals so that everyone has a unique pseudonym for the
evening. Encourage everyone to dress up to match their fake name.
Home Theater Décor:
*Label each room as a room from the movie/game (Kitchen; study;
conservatory; hall; dining room; billiard room; lounge; library; and
ballroom.)
*Use the candlestick, rope, lead pipe, wrench, revolver, and knife as
inspirations for decorating. Hang up some rope as swag around the table, chairs
or napkins, get silver straws for everyone’s drinks that look like lead pipes,
have candlesticks all around the house, and more.
Movie Munchies:
*If you want to serve a movie meal, you’ll want to have Shark Fin soup
(your favorite soup will do, just call it Shark Fin soup), Monkey Brains (or
maybe a cauliflower casserole or pull-a-part monkey bread), drinks, fruit, and
dessert. Be sure to ring a Gong when dinner is ready and include name tags by
each plate.
*Serve “poisoned” drinks by mixing up your favorite juice or punch then
serving it in cups that reveal that they really just drank… poison!
Movie Inspired Adventures:
*After watching this movie you’re sure to want to play the board game
Clue. If you don’t have the game, you could always play an interactive version
by moving around your own house with the cards with suspects, rooms and weapons
on them, just like the board game. If you aren’t sure how to play, just read
through the instructions here. If you don’t want to do it just
like the game, have a scavenger hunt with your own weapons, suspects and rooms…
or any spooky items. This link shows some fun ideas for a Clue party and scavenger hunt.
*Consider throwing a “How to Host a Murder” party. There are books, games
and lots of information online about putting one together, whether you follow
along with the Clue theme or not.
*Put together Goody bags for your guests. Some items you could include as
gifts and favors include: travel size Clue or other board or card games,
skeleton keys, matches, pretend weapons, magnifying glasses, detective notebooks
and other super sleuth items.
