Following a twitter discussion, I'm working on ideas for a CLUE game based on the Funky Shack. The role of Mr. Boddy would either be Random (since, based on the Shackiversary pic that sparked this idea, she's our Jesus), or Random could be a suspect and the victim be The Trio.
Weapon ideas: (needs to be 6, unless we have a deck and you just draw 6 for each game) -Dildo -d20 -Tentacle -Butt (Pork Butt?) -Anime Buster Sword -Gundam -Rampant Dragon -Unicorn horn -Baby bok choy -10,000 Hours of Podcasts -The Thing that is Impossible to Unsee -Too Much Thirst -The Hug Bucket

Weapon ideas: Avocado, wild magic Rooms: i would go with specific locations, not as much areas. i mean like: Tarsus, pikeman academy, mycanos the Victim should be the hosts at random (Leon, Austin, Johny) as for characters id like to be in the game just so it is said at some point "Darkent killed Austin in Baltimore with an Avocado" XD
It somewhat depends whether you're after a "real world" or "Dice Funk" setting (or a mix of the two):
I've always thought CHAINSAW should be one of the weapons (you'd think it would be obvious, but then again, most people SHOULD be able to tell whether the victim was strangled with a rope or shot with a gun, but apparently not). There are also a whole load of weird sounding weapons in the D&D manuals (Glaive, Balisong, Banderilla, Cestus, Fauchard, Karambit, Bec de Corbin, Chikage, Flindbar, Guisarme, Voulge...) - a lot of those are variants of the POLEARM, so you might genuinely be unable to tell which one had been used!
The UNDERDARK might be a good location (it's a scary place!) and there have been a couple of LIBRARYs across the seasons. PORTALs have also been significant places, though you might want to reserve those for the equivalent of the secret passage across the board.
There have been plenty of villains across the various seasons (Loneghan, Earlin*, Firo, Gorfinax, Zavala, MOTHER, Generica, Lady Nim, Mind Flayer Dude whose name escapes me). I'd be reluctant to name any real Shackers as suspects (it seems a bit unpleasant to go, "I can easily imagine DAVE** as a murderer!") - maybe there could be a poll of people's favourites? I'm pretty much a pacifist, but I'm fine with being in the pool of suspects ("Haha, they'll never suspect ME!").
* I know Earlin wasn't really a villain, but he was certainly capable of murder for the greater good. Likewise, Dr Sherry could be a not exactly villainous killer ** As far as I know, there are no members called Dave - if there are, no offence meant!
Aren't those a bit big for locations? Saying "in Canada" is a bit like saying "the murder took place somewhere in Europe!" (OK, the same could be said of "The Underdark"). I'd have perhaps "So Crab, So Good" instead of "Canada", maybe "The Swamp" or "The Courthouse" for Florida and "Crack House" instead of "Baltimore".
For D&D world, you could have The Twist or The Pickman Academy instead of Stoneroot*, The Sacrum or Avant Garde HQ instead of Ilium, The Sacred Grove** or The Mansion instead of Lorelei.
* Rinaldo, with the mace, in The Twist! ** Where Vinnie (I) died, don't recall if it had a name
Locob0: its been almost a year since word funk went on a indefinate hiatus, i still miss it it was the highlight of my week and it kept me happy
