Overall, users find the game to have good replayability, particularly praising the "choose your own adventure" style that enhances the experience.

- “Huge missed opportunity to not have multiple endings or randomized character and weapon locations for replayability, which is what makes Clue!”
- “It's okay, but once you run out of hints, it's game over unless you want to keep switching back and forth from Google to find a walkthrough, which is very time-consuming. Maybe if there was a way to get more hints or a way for it to not cost so much, like maybe 5 daily stars for logging in or getting stars for completing things without hints, or even watching videos for hints, if it was more playable then I would give it more stars.”
- “And I think that maybe you can include a daily reward (keys or maybe even stars) when we come in to make it more playable.”
