After 76 years on the market, the board game Clue has been given a refresh from Hasbro. To celebrate the change, the publisher has created a global murder mystery event that will take place entirely on social media, and will prominently feature a McLaren Artura.
For the revamp, Clue maintains its original gameplay, with only the aesthetics being updated to make it feel a little more modern, Polygon reports. That means that the game’s British charm will stay, with areas like the conservatory and the billiards room remaining as potential murder scenes.
As subjects of the king, the game’s characters, like all Brit’s, love nothing more than a sports car developed in the U.K. Thus, the plug-in hybrid McLaren Artura has been chosen as the car that is parked outside murder victim Boddy Black’s Tudor mansion for the global murder mystery game that is being played entirely on social media.

Hasbro plans to release new evidence every day on its Instagram account, with things like suspect testimonies, witness statements, and first-person accounts to draw participants in. The board game’s characters will be animated for the challenge.
McLaren’s participation in the global game is more than as just set decoration, though. In the second week of the competition, the Artura will become embroiled in the mystery as a piece of evidence related to it is shared by the @mclarennorthamerica Instagram account.
In real life, the McLaren Artura is powered by a twin turbo, 3.0-liter, 120-degree V6, which is aided by an axial flux electric motor. Together, they make 671 hp (500 kW/680 PS) and 531 lb-ft (719 Nm) of torque, which you’d think would be enough to outrun someone called Mr. Mustard.
The social media game of Clue started on Thursday, March 2, and anyone can participate by reading the clues published on the @officialclue Instagram account.
