CLUE: A Walking Mystery debuted in downtown Chicago in Summer 2023, welcoming thousands of detectives to solve the case of who murdered the estate owner Mr. Boden “Boddy” Black. The experience proved to be a smash hit, extending through January 2024, with Thrillist calling it “a hilariously macabre Amazing Race,” and WBEZ calling it “one of a kind” and “incredible!” while the Chicago Sun-Times remarked that the experience “brings the iconic boardgame to life.” Part walking tour, part murder mystery, this experiential twist on the classic mystery game is returning to Block 37 on June 13 with a brand-new edition of the experience. The mystery continues in Chicago, featuring new clues, puzzles and locations (including some old favorites). Tickets, starting at $35, are on sale now at cluewalkingexperience.com.
Someone has committed the crime.... and it’s up to you to find out who, where and with what?!
The case has gone cold, with the murderer of Boddy Black still at large. All the furniture from Tudor Mansion has been auctioned off and is now scattered throughout the city. Determined to catch the culprit, a group of newly minted detectives will step into the roles of the descendants of the iconic CLUE characters (Mayor Green, Colonel Mustard, Solicitor Peacock, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlett or Chef White) before being dispatched by Boddy’s faithful Butlers in search of clues that were stashed in the furniture once housed in the iconic rooms in Tudor Mansion (the Library, the Billiard Room, the Ballroom, etc.), now located in new iconic venues throughout downtown Chicago.
Once the furniture is located, players must solve an interactive puzzle in search of secret compartments to discover the clue left behind by the culprit. Enterprising detectives will need to keep an eye out for brand new artifacts with puzzles hidden deep within a gramophone, dartboard and a birdcage. Piecing these hidden clues together will challenge players to figure out WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT?
The new edition of CLUE: A Walking Mystery begins at Block 37, located at 108 N. State St., on the Pedway Level near Starbucks. The experience opens to the public on June 13, only in Chicago, and runs through Sept. 15.
CLUE: A Walking Mystery is a family-friendly interactive event and is recommended for ages 8 and older with an adult accompanying all minors. Participants are welcome to come to the experience dressed up as their favorite characters.

The Wild Optimists is an award-winning interactive entertainment company devoted to designing new ways to play. In the past three years they have created over 40 memorable interactive experiences for tabletop games, virtual games, theme parks, music festivals, historical sites, marketing activations, and more.
WO began when Juliana Moreno and Ariel Rubin combined their theatre degrees and writing backgrounds in Hollywood with their life-long love for gaming to create the Kickstarter sensation, Escape Room In A Box: The Werewolf Experiment. As the first at home game to ever recreate the “escape room” experience in a tabletop setting for all ages, Escape Room in A Box was a genre-defining success that was licensed by Mattel and soon distributed worldwide. Game of the Year winner at the Mattel Inventor Awards, the Escape Room in a Box brand has now evolved into an ongoing game series with Mattel, selling over 300,000 copies.
Building upon that success, Wild Optimists has since created immersive gaming experiences for a variety of clients on and beyond the game table. Collaborations include interactive design for theme parks such as Universal Orlando and Mall of America, marketing campaigns supporting high-profile Film/TV properties such as Escape Room 1&2 (Sony), Invisible Man (Universal), and Nancy Drew (CW), live immersive experiences for the Electric Forest Music Festival and the Santa Monica Pier; and tabletop game design for Mattel, Renegade, and Arcane Wonders.
