Players attempt to solve who's the murderer of Dr. Black or Mr. Boddy. The solution to the murder requires the three components of suspect, weapon, and room. At the beginning of Clue, three cards are chosen at random and placed in a special envelope, so that no player can see them. The three cards that are placed in the special envelope consist of one suspect card, one weapon card, and one room card. These cards represent the true facts of the case. The remaining cards are distributed among the players.

The aim of the game is to deduce the details of the murder, which are the cards in the envelope. In other words, the aim of Clue is to deduce exactly who's the murderer in the mansion.
