OBJECT
To solve the mystery by figuring out Which Child is hiding in Which
Room with Which Pet.
You’re in a great big mansion, where there are kids playing with pets
in the rooms. But there’s somebody else in the house! Someone is
hiding with a pet, and it’s your job to play detective and find the
missing child. So visit all the rooms in the mansion, open the doors to
reveal hidden clues, and cross off on your detective note pad what
you see in the room. When you’ve visited all the rooms and crossed
off everything you’ve seen, you’ll know that what you didn’t see is the
solution to the mystery of Which Child is in Which Room with Which
Pet!
EQUIPMENT
CLUE@ JR. game case with 4 game cards, 4 movers, note pad,
consumer-applied labels
ASSEMBLY
l Slide the yellow latch on the un-hinged end to open the case.
Remove the 4 blank movers.
l Apply matching character labels to both sides of a mover. Repeat
with remaining labels, being sure to put the same color character
labels on the front and back of the matching color mover.

SETUP
l Each player will need a pencil.
l Each player picks a mover and takes a sheet from the detective note
pad. Leave any extra movers inside the case, out of play.
l Be sure the blue clue-revealer door is closed!
l Note: There are two mysteries on each side of the four mystery cards,
for a total of 16 mysteries. Put the four cards in the case in any order,
and play the top mystery.
l Put your mover on the START space of the matching color.
* The youngest player goes first. Play passes to the left.
GAME PLAY
On your turn:
l Spin the number spinner and move your mover that many spaces in
any direction.
l If there’s already a mover in the track space you would land on, move
to the next available space. If there’s a mover in the keyhole you want
to put your mover in, wait until your next turn, then without spinning
the spinner, move into the keyhole and look at your clues.
* What you do next depends on where you land!
If you land on the rug outside a room, put your
mover in the keyhole and open the door. What do
you see? On your detective note pad, put a check
(or cross off) the Room, Kid and/or Pet you saw, and
cross off the door you looked under. Sometimes
you’ll see a child or a pet, and sometimes both.
Stay here, with your mover in the keyhole, until your
next turn. On your next turn, first move out of the
keyhole onto the rug, then spin and move; don’t
count the rug space.
If you Land on the Secret Passage Stairway, move
through the Secret Passaqe and come out on any
other Secret Passage space on the board!
’

. If you spin the magnifying glass, move to any keyhole
on the board that doesn’t have another mover in it.
Take a peek inside and mark your note pad. Stay here,
with your mover in the door, until your next move.
Kids
If you saw Peter Plum in the
Bathroom with the Rabbit, your
note pad will look like this. You
should also check off the door
you looked under.
l On your turn, if you have crossed off all the Rooms except one, all the
Kids except one, and all the Pets except one, you may announce that
you want to solve the mystery. Tell your opponents Which Child you
think is hiding in Which Room with Which Pet, then slide the blue
clue-revealer door open and check if you were correct. Don’t let the
other players see the answer until you know you are correct. If you
were, you win! If you weren’t correct, you’re out of the game. The
others keep playing until somebody solves the mystery.
Notes:
l You do not have to land on a rug by exact count.
l Careful! When you open a door, don’t let your opponents see inside!
And keep the information on your note pad secret!
l You may open a door more than once on a turn to make sure you got
the clues right.
WINNING
The first player who reveals enough clues to determine Which Child is
hiding in Which Room with Which Pet wins the game!
Mix up or turn the mystery cards, and play again!
