Cluedo Challenge (2010-4)

Dark magic has been performed at Hogwarts! A fellow student has vanished from the famous School of Witchcraft and Wizardry--and it is up to you to solve the mysterious disappearance. Play as Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Neville [or any other student] and try to discover WHO did it, WHAT spell or item they used, and WHERE the student was attacked. Was it Draco Malfoy with a Sleeping Draught in the Owlery? Move around Hogwarts, making suggestions- but watch out! Wheels on the board actually move to reveal secret passages, hidden staircases, and even the Dark Mark! Think you've gathered all the facts you need? Go to Dumbledore's office to make your final accusation to win the game! © ® Quote from Hasbro’s website

Cluedo, named Clue in North America, is a board game originally published by Waddingtons in the United Kingdom in 1949.  It is now published by the U.S. company Hasbro who owns the previous companies that owned the rights.  Yes, there is a Harry Potter Edition.

The Challenge is to write a story as if you are involved in the real life situation at Hogwarts based on the game Cluedo. The “crime” may be anything you like than a mysterious disappearance.

Rules:

1.      All general submission rules apply. Stories over 10,000 words are discouraged but not prohibited. R-rated stories are allowed but discouraged. Judges are not required to read stories over 10,000 words or any R-rated stories.

2.      All entries must be submitted under the Cluedo Challenge (2010-4) sub-category of SIYE Challenges and be submitted by midnight Tuesday, August 31, 2010.

3.      Multiple chapters are allowed as long as all the requirements are in the chapter(s) that are submitted by the deadline.  Completed stories are seriously preferred.

4.      The categories for judging are Best Overall, Imagination, Crime Solving, and encoring The People’s Choice Award.

Bonus phrases for extra creativity are the following. Using any or all of them is not required.  A good, creative story will always count much stronger than any bonus.

2.      In her youth she was a very famous [blank].

Yay, Cluedo! I based my Major Drama Work on this game, I'm all excited for it! Though I'm going to have to write an undergarment story one day...
