I chose the video game Clue for Project 2. I selected this game because it has been around for a long time as just a boardgame. Yes, I guess you can say it is a classic, tried and true. Since this was one of my favorite board game when I was growing up, I was pleased to see that it is now a video game. The challenges of trying to guess who, where, and how can now come alive by clicking around the electronic mansion to try to solve the mystery. Even though the game is intriguing, it is the characters that I would like to investigate. I believe that in Project 2 that I will be able to show some interesting features about the celebrity guests turned suspects. Yes, and of course there is always the victim!
Originally this board game was invented in 1944 by Anthony E. Pratt. There are six suspects and one dead host, Mr. Buddy. My first tentative claim will be that the characters that are associated with the game are gender biased. The details of the claim may rest on the fact that each character has distinguishing images and how those images are portrayed through the game. It will be fun to explore the mansion but most importantly the focus will be on the suspects.
I propose a second tentative claim will be concerning the colors that have always been associated with each of the suspects. In fact, the color for each of the suspects has never changed since 1944. I would like to explore the concepts of color which I hope shows a different diminsion to each of the game pieces
The mystery escalates when the players choose the suspect, the room, and the method that was used to dispose of the mansion’s owner. I believe that a correlation between the player, the suspect, and the mansion itself should also have some developing results for another claim. The mansion sets the tone; the mystery develops and clues are entertained from each of the different locations. I believe that the association of these locations have a direct bearing on the mental image that engages the player.
Do you have a Clue?
