Built With The Community

ClueJutsu was created in Los Angeles by an independent Black creator and lifelong anime fan, then tested at conventions and game nights. After our DreamCon preview run sold out, the game was rebuilt into the complete 200-card production edition.

ClueJutsu grows through the people who play it, film it, share it, and bring it to the next game night.

Made by an anime fan. Built with anime fans.
