How to play Beamish Cluedo as museum seeks super sleuths this half-term

Super sleuths will find themselves in the picture this October half-term when the classic board game Cluedo is brought to life at Beamish Museum.

Excitement has been building following the announcement of the new attraction at the vast County Durham site where it is set to make its debut this weekend. Beamish Cluedo - the museum's own version of the famous game - will launch this Saturday and then will be available to play daily throughout half-term until October 30.

And those who take part and manage to crack the whodunnit case also will be able to enjoy the spotlight with a starring role in a photograph opportunity afterwards in the main 1900s Town. The game of detection is set to capture the imagination, with the murder mystery at its heart playing out in atmospheric surroundings and the museum's settings - which include the 1820s, 1900s, 1940s and 1950 - providing plenty period detail for the crime.
