We had a great time at Clue HQ. They kindly let us book same day and our gamemaster had clearly stayed late just so we could play which was much appreciated! Gameplay was very original and we really enjoyed the little twist and turns. Thanks again for fitting us in and thank you to lovely gamemaster who stayed and gave us a great game!
