About this listen

Clue isn’t just a board game — it’s a 150-million-copy cultural phenomenon born in wartime Britain, turned cult-classic film, and endlessly reinvented through pop culture crossovers. This month, the Gaymer Daddies welcome special guest Aaron (also known to some as Sofonda Booz) for a full investigation into the history of Clue — from Anthony Ernest Pratt’s 1940s parlor-game inspiration to the 1985 movie with three different endings, to themed editions featuring everyone from Hogwarts to the Golden Girls. We even recast the film for a modern remake and play a game of “Real or Fake Clue Edition.”

Then we examine the modern spiritual successor: Awkward Guests: The Walton Case. Is it Clue evolved? Is it deduction perfected? And when the Daddies present their SERVE scores — Strategy, Elegance, Representation, Voltage, and Ease — our awkward guest becomes judge and jury. Who solved it best? With what argument? And where does this game land on the final Stance?

There is an answer. It is knowable. Press play.
