CLUE: A Walking Mystery
June 11 - July 5, 2026
The Kimmel Center

The iconic family-favorite board game comes to life! Enter the world of CLUE in the interactive and immersive experience, CLUE: A Walking Mystery.

Have you ever wanted to solve a cold murder case? Have you ever wanted to inhabit the world of CLUE and unravel its mystery like a real detective? This is your chance. CLUE: A Walking Mystery is an interactive, IRL game of the beloved board game. In this version, the murder was never solved, the mansion sold, and the furniture from all nine rooms has been auctioned off and scattered throughout a specified area. Players must find the furniture found at local businesses and solve puzzles within them to figure out WHO did it WHERE and with WHAT.
