Synopsis

It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party – this time featuring a 1960s British rock ’n’ roll flair.

When host and English rock star Rick Black is found dead, the listening party for his newest album turns into a whodunit instead.

Join the iconic characters known as Scarlett, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer before the body count stacks up.

Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue: The British Invasion is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing – both about who killed the host and where their accents are coming from – until the final twist.
