In fairness, Clue had the better movie adaptation

I was an adult when I learned that 'Clue' was called 'Cluedo' outside of North America.

'Cluedo' still sounds so f'n weird to me.

I learned it in this poll. I'm still not convinced this is real and isn't just some foreigners pulling one over on the dumb Americans.

Anyway, not a big fan of either so I guess I'll vote for Anya Taylor-Joy.

I just learned during this megapoll.

"fighting ignorance, sometimes by accident!"

weirdly, it was the same week I was re-watching the first season of Death in Paradise and DI Poole had his team playing "Cluedo"! I was all "huh!"

Yeah, I never heard of Cluedo before this poll.

Now I have to ask- is it pronounced Clue-due or Clue-doe?

ETA: This was a reply to Jackie:
For me I learned it from watching Murdoch Mysteries.

To Rock, I've heard it as Clue Doe

That's the way I've been pronouncing it in my head.

It's a pun on the game Ludo, which is the game that we call Parcheesi. So I assume it rhymes with Ludo. Despite what one may assume by my username, I had to look up how you pronounce the game. It is apparently "Loo-doe", so Cluedo is most likely pronounced "Clue doe".
