#dailypoll Answer: Billiard ball.
Clue is a murder mystery game in which there are five characters (Mr. Green, Miss Peacock, Prof. Plum, Mrs. Scarlett and Dr. Orchid), six weapons (candlestick, wrench, lead pipe, rope, dagger and revolver), and nine rooms (hall, study, ballroom, billiards room, dining room, kitchen, lounge, conservatory and library. A murder was committed and your job is to find out who did it, with which weapon, and in which room.

Clue was created by a British factory worker named Anthony Pratt in 1943. He was from Birmingham, UK and studied music in his youth and played in hotels. He was used to live-action murder mystery game parties at hotels where he performed. During the war, times were tough and people could no longer attend these parties. Pratt decided he wanted to create a version of a murder mystery that people could play at home.
