If you've suggested a suspect, the player to your left must disprove your theory by producing a card from their hand that matches the murderer, weapon, or location that you suspect. If the player does have one or more of these cards to disprove your theory, the player can only show you and no other player this card. If the player has more than one of the cards named, they are allowed to only show you one. The changes to the game have been criticised in the media, and by fans of the game, for unnecessarily altering classic cultural icons. [9] [26] [27] Instead of rolling the dice, if the player is in a room with a secret passage or that joins directly to another room via a doorway, they can move into the connected room at the start of their turn. They do not roll the dice - once you enter a new room, your movement ends - and can then ask a question about the room they just entered. The player must move to the indoor swimming pool in the centre of the board to make an accusation. This adds some challenge versus the ability to make accusations from anywhere in the original game.

Normally, something like: “I accuse [suspect] with the [weapon] in the [room]!” The makers of Cluedo have gone and killed Professor Plum The Telegraph, Robert Colvile, 15 August 2008 (retrieved 1 November 2009)Besides some rule differences listed above, some versions label the names of characters, weapons, rooms and in some instances the actual game itself differently. If that player can't do so, the player to their left must then try disproving the suggestion by secretly showing a card from their hand that matches your theory. If you entered a room on this turn (or if you haven’t moved from the room you were moved to between turns), you can ask a question to eliminate cards from the possible murder solution. When asking a question, you must ask about one suspect, one weapon and the room your character is currently in. For example, “Was it Professor Plum with the Lead Pipe in the Bedroom?” The tokens representing the weapon and character you named - even if they are controlled by another player - move to your current room.
