In August 2008, Hasbro redesigned and updated the board, characters, weapons, and rooms. Changes to the rules of gameplay were made, some to accommodate the new features.

The suspects have new names and backgrounds, as well as differing abilities that may be used during the game. The revolver is now a pistol, the lead pipe and spanner/wrench have been removed, and a baseball bat, axe, dumbbell, trophy, and poison have been added. The nine rooms have changed to (in clockwise order): Hall, Guest House, Dining Room, Kitchen, Patio, Spa, Theatre, Living Room, and Observatory.<ref>[http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/games_and_puzzles/article6874926.ece?print=yes&randnum=1151003209000 Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Cluedo]{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} ''The Times'', 15 October 2009, by Damian Whitworth (retrieved 26 November 2009)</ref>

There is also a second deck of cards—the Intrigue cards. In this deck, there are two types of cards, Keepers and Clocks. Keepers are special abilities; for example, "You can see the card". There are eight clocks—the first seven drawn do nothing—whoever draws the eighth is killed by the murderer and is out of the game.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93417780 |title=Hasbro Gives Clue Board Game A Makeover |access-date=16 August 2008 |author=National Public Radio |website=[[NPR]] |date=8 August 2008 |author-link=National Public Radio}}</ref>

The player must move to the indoor swimming pool in the centre of the board to make an accusation. This adds some challenge versus the ability to make accusations from anywhere in the original game.

The most significant change to gameplay is that once the suspect cards have been taken, the remaining cards are dealt so that all players have an even number of cards (rather than dealt out so that "one player may have a slight advantage"). This means that depending on the number of players a number of cards are left over. These cards are placed face down in the middle and are not seen unless a player takes a turn in the pool room to look at them.

The changes to the game have been criticised in the media, and by fans of the game, for unnecessarily altering classic cultural icons.<ref name="guardian.co.uk"/><ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/cole-moreton-who-killed-cluedos-col-mustard-899619.html Who killed Cluedo's Col Mustard?] by Cole Moreton, ''The Independent'', 17 August 2008, retrieved 20 October 2009</ref><ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/3561463/The-makers-of-Cluedo-have-gone-and-killed-Professor-Plum.html The makers of Cluedo have gone and killed Professor Plum] ''The Telegraph'', Robert Colvile, 15 August 2008 (retrieved 1 November 2009)</ref>

{{as of|2014}}, Hasbro no longer sells the game via its website, but they do continue to sell a version of it as part of their ''Grab & Go'' travel series. Notably, it plays identically to standard classic rules but visually continues to use the new Discover the Secrets room layout, and two of the new weapons, as well as other design artwork. However, the Intrigue cards are no longer a part of the game.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hasbro Shop |url=https://shop.hasbro.com/en-us/product/clue-grab-and-go-game/0FB758BA-5056-9047-F5DB-C67ADE93ADCC |access-date= |work=shop.hasbro.com}}</ref>
