Cluesheet Companion Reviews

I originally downloaded this forever ago. I deleted it because it would always freeze or shutdown.

Recently, I redownloaded it to play the game with my kids. Now it doesn’t work at all. I can’t press play. Well, I can, but it doesn’t do anything. I’ve undownloaded, restarted my phone, uploaded, restarted. I’ve done it on my phone, my switch, followed every tip and trick found online and it still doesn’t work. It’s not just my phone, either. CluesheetCompanion doesn’t work on mine, my two children’s phones, their friends phones, my husbands phone, nothing! It works for nobody.

We thought maybe I needed to renew my NSO. So I paid to renew that. It changed nothing. Maybe the wifi connection is poor. Connected it directly beside the router. Full bars, still nothing. This is utter crap. Money wasted, weekend on binge playing clue and watching murder mystery shows have been shot.

This is so frustrating!!!!

We finally purchased this game we’ve been wanting and were so excited to play it. Unfortunately, CluesheetCompanion doesn’t work, and we have not been able to finish even one multiplayer game yet!
Randomly, there will be no “continue” button or “end turn”, so everyone has to quit and start over no matter how far in the game we got. We finally gave up trying because it was a waste of time and always bugged out mid-game. I’m highly disappointed in the wasted money, as we got it for the multiplayer app concept and can’t use it. Please fix this ASAP because it would be a great game if it actually worked as intended.

I bought the clue game on switch with the intention of playing a local multiplayer game with friends. After downloading the game and CluesheetCompanion which is required for local multiplayer, I realized that CluesheetCompanion does not work at all. When trying to enter the passcode for the game which shows on the screen of the game on switch, absolutely nothing happens. I cannot join any game or do anything from there. So I bought the switch game to play locally with friends using CluesheetCompanion , and I cannot do the one thing I spent money to do. Garbage app, borderline scam even… DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE!

I have played this game twice on local multiplayer with the Nintendo Switch and CluesheetCompanion, and it’s surprisingly fun. When it works it’s amazing, however for some reason, something between the game and CluesheetCompanion does not work well. Every time I attempt to start a game on the Nintendo Switch and connect it to CluesheetCompanion it says: “incorrect passcode entered.” I tried closing and restarting the game and app several times. I can barely get it to work if I uninstall and reinstall the game on the Switch. I think this game deserves a 5-star review but until this problem is fixed, it is unplayable and I would not recommend.

The single player component of the Switch game is enjoyable, however god have mercy on your souls if you try and connect to a local multiplayer game. If you are lucky enough to get past the “incorrect passcode” message, 9 times out of 10 you’ll lose your lobby and end up watching a game that you have no control over because the passcode you were generated was also generated for someone else before you could lock your lobby. My Wife and I tried for two hours and played one game together. This game was $20 on sale. It should have been less than that. If I would have paid full price I would have been very angry. FIX THIS NOW.

When I got into the game I had to enter a passcode, which I didn’t have anyone to play and I didn’t have any passcodes. I recommend getting a feature to play with robots and not have any passcodes. Me and my friend had to go thorough so many codes to get to a game. My first game was okay until when I made my accusation and it was wrong so I got kicked out and had to watch the whole round. When I had to watch I wanted to leave and also had to go through codes to get back to the lobby. There were also to many disconnections and bugs that I had to delete CluesheetCompanion since I could never play.

Holy crap this game needs soo much work!! I understand that the game just came out, so I’m not to mad about what happened when we did play. Me and my husband were playing. I was Scarlett and he was mr. green. Our first game wasn’t to bad. I made my final accusation and was wrong so I got kicked out and watched the rest of the game. The tv is WAY ahead of the phone. On my husband phone, it said that mrs white solves the case, but that didn’t even pop up on the tv. So we quit and started a new game. We had to go through 4 different passcodes JUST to get back into the lobby to start another game. In the second game, I had one turn that was totally behind. I was making my suggestion of who, what and where when the the tv was already onto the next player. Then the tv said that I quit and AI was going to take over , and yes AI did take over. Then my phone said that mr green quit, so I look at my husbands phone and he was on his sheet. Then we got mad and turned it off. I’m looking forward to when the game works right! We both like clue so that’s why we got it for the switch. I noticed, as well, that no one else wrote a review. I don’t know how no one else didn’t. What we went through was annoying.

So 15 minutes after the first review the game just randomly started working and I don’t know what I was expecting but it was terrible the game starts and for some reason we can’t choose who we played as just why then the game starts we have fun playing clue on the tv until for no reason out of nowhere my sister gets kicked out of the game and here is the big flaw with the game u are at its mercy if the game decides at random that it doesn’t like u u just get kicked from the game and u have to start the entire game over and hope that no one gets kick which good luck as out of the 4 times we tried in 3 we can’t even get passed the first round dont buy this plz just don’t do this

We’ve tried for nearly an hour now to get a local multiplayer game working. The game only started properly once. Halfway through the game, a player disconnected and was replaced by an AI, then the game froze entirely. It seems like frequently you get connected to someone else’s game with other human players even thought the game is supposed to have local multiplayer. This makes me question the privacy of my data. It seems like packets are getting crossed all over the place. This is incredibly disappointing and unacceptable for a game that has been available for over three years. Don’t make claims that you have specific game modes if those game modes are unplayable. DO Not purchase Clue if you have hopes of ever playing local multiplayer with your friends and family.

We couldn’t play using our phones until we “deleted and redone loaded” the game- a fix we found online. Finally The first time we played a local game via the switch and one of our phones kept “playing” without us, like their phone had become and AI/com but they could watch their moves on the phone? We tried again and half way through the game my app started playing a completely different order and the switch and app games split on completely different “universes” where different things were happening for about 15 minutes, which we laughed at until it became unplayable.

We hate that there’s a clue sheet on the TV main game. It renders skill completely unnecessary. Same thing with the auto-fill sheet deductions; it would be helpful for kids, but feels patronizing during game play.

I’ve never left an app review in my life but this one is so dysfunctional, I feel compelled to say something. I experienced all of the errors other reviewers have mentioned and it’s inexcusable. It has consistently taken multiple tries to launch a local game, either because my pin is rejected or it’s so slow that another game with other players is launched instead. If that’s not the issue, then the issue is being kicked out of the game and replaced by an AI despite never leaving CluesheetCompanion ... My husband paid for the Clue game with the understanding that we could both play together, and CluesheetCompanion malfunctioned so often that it makes the game unplayable. It’s such a shame because the game looks really fun and when CluesheetCompanion was working, the Clue sheet capabilities were quite useful. Please do something about this - I don’t want to request a refund for the game unless I absolutely have to.

I have been using this Cluesheet companion with my autistic son for some time now. Then a couple days ago it started telling us that the passcodes are incorrect and I can’t get anyone from the developer to help with this problem. We usually have a blast, but the lack of answers and support have me quite disappointed. I would change my review if I actually thought someone would help me figure out why this is suddenly happening. We even tried reloading and making sure there were no updates. At this point we are just bummed and feeling let down. Hope someone will fix it and/or reach out. Thank you.

I want CluesheetCompanion to work. So much so, that my wife and I tried about 10 different times over the course of multiple weeks. We finished one game successfully, the others, well let’s say CluesheetCompanion crashes at the slightest pause or disturbance. The first times we tried to use CluesheetCompanion , it wasn’t even loading the play button. Any additional feature shuts the gameplay down and you need to restart the entire game.

I’m hopeful CluesheetCompanion works. It has a lot of potential. It makes Clue a much more enjoyable game. Please fix the bugs, Hasbro, please.

Unfortunately, this game is extremely broken. When you try to connect to a “local friend” game that is being hosted on pc, there is a very low chance that everything works. I have only been able to get 4/6 person games working consistently. Even then, the server randomly drops people mid game, replacing with them with AI. There is no option to rejoin,

Maybe it’s the increased volume on this game due to Covid and/or streamers, but this game cannot handle the traffic it is receiving.

CluesheetCompanion is exciting when it works (hence the second star), but it is too broken to function throughout an entire game.

I tried to push the JION after putting in my password and the name it suggested, but it never did anything. The screen wasn’t frozen, and the button did press, but it just didn’t do anything. I could easily get off that screen and go to the area that says play, but when I tried to play the sign up screen showed again and did nothing.
I imagine that it is a wonderful game. I just can’t get it to work. I hope that know one else is having this problem. 🤔 Can you help?

Sincerely, CluesheetCompanion user

Getting into a local game is a nightmare. Have to try it multiple times before everyone can successfully get in. When you do get the game rolling, buttons still don’t work, like showing your card to another human player. Also if your accusation is wrong it gives you the option to continue as a spectator but when you press that button it doesn’t register it and then the entire game gets frozen because the eliminated player has no functions or control.

Look I love Clue its my favorite game so when I heard that their is game on the switch I was so happy and it was even better when playing on the phone. But as soon I started playing I experienced bugs like when the password is shown it won’t let anyone in and we had to exit CluesheetCompanion and go back in to try again to get in. When one of my relatives rolled the dice and made a accusation and is shown a card the end turn logo doesn’t pop up to let us click it and we have to quit the game and start a new one. Their were also a problem where I chosen a character and I accidentally pick a costume (vampire)but I want another(wild west) it won’t let me choose it unless I pick a different character and go back to the person I want. The last one is when we choose a location like classic manor it would go to a different location murder express and we have to quit the game to get the board we want to play. I spend $30 on this game and it upsets me that I am experiencing this and takes 35 minutes to start the game I just hope this gets resolved

I just spent $30 to play this game and when we actually get a game to work it’s so much fun!! However, so many different bugs, such as passcodes to get into a room not working, if the dice lands on a computer character for the beginning of the game, the computer will 99% not even roll the dice to begin the game, thus meaning we have to exit out of the game and go through all of the steps again, and just selecting characters is stressful because if you don’t rush to pick the game could crash and say the host left or a player left when obviously it’s not the case.

I just want to play a game with my partner that I spent $30 to play and I’m impressed with the way the game works using the switch and iPhones... BUT when it takes you 40 minutes to successfully start one game on local multiplayer mode it’s a little rough. Will gladly give a 5 star review once there’s some sort of update to fix all of these issues, I just want to play one of my favorite board games and it’s a bummer that it’s so hard to get one game working! Playing with just two people isn’t that fun, so when we add computer players and they get first turn and never roll the dice the game will just sit here doing nothing until it crashes :(

Took us awhile to figure out how to get to play the game with CluesheetCompanion . CluesheetCompanion weren’t the problem - the game kept telling us to press “A” button when we were ready to start, we ended up pressing L&R both, to get the game to actually start.

We had zero issues with playing and using CluesheetCompanion with the Switch.

There was lag… but that was mostly players taking to long to click ‘continue’.

I don’t like that CluesheetCompanion and game neither tells you who shared a card. I’d love for CluesheetCompanion to have the paper close and CluesheetCompanion to say “so-n-so was able to disprove so-n-so” … even if ya character names plum, peacock, scarlet... so on and so forth.

CluesheetCompanion means we DONT need to purchase the game on all of our Switches.

I would love to see the player count go all the way to 8-10 players, as that’s about how many play during our family game time… but I realize that would make the game nearly unreasonable… as some players would end up with only 2 cards while others have 3. Lol

Unfortunately, CluesheetCompanion does not work well. When you attempt to play multi-player, it says incorrect passcode entered even when you enter in the right one. It errors out and says “an error has occurred with the software” and then it boots you out. Hopefully this gets fixed since this looks like a fun family game to play.
