Full Walkthrough for Clue The Murder of Mr Black - Adventure Escape Mysteries

You arrive at the Clue mansion to find there has been a power cut. You’re met by Professor Plum in the lobby and take his candle to try and find a power source. Move the candle to the left and find the fuse box (1a), which needs a four-digit code. Move the candle down a little and open the top desk draw (1b) to find the code.

Use it on the fuse box to see the first object, a square, has the number four below it. As this is the number of sides on the shape, you’ll need code 4534 to open the fuse box.

Complete the fuse box puzzle to turn the lights back on. Move red home first, then yellow. Move purple right and then up, then get green home. Finally, move purple home. The lights will come on, and you will discover the body of Mr Black. Click the corpse for a close-up (2a), then his neck to check his pulse and undo his top short button. Click the cord around his neck to get the key.

Finally, talk to Professor Plum, then use the key on the bookcase (2b) to get the house map. Head towards the Dining Room.
