Is there an advanced clue game

I can't comment on Clue specifically, although there certainly was a more complex version available.

However, there are several other deduction games on the market that offer different types of challenges that you might enjoy.

Mystery of the Abbey has a smaller range of permutations but a far more interesting collection of deductive approaches - since the information communicated is open, you have to think about what to ask as much as what to do with the answer you get. And it's oozing with atmosphere and looks gorgeous.

And at the other end of the scale, something like Sleuth by Sid Sackson (recently reprinted) may give you a decent challenge. You'd think it was easy (you're only looking for one missing card!) but the way the information is given means that you can't make instant assumptions.

I reckon either of these would be an interesting step up from Clue. And when you're ready for a real challenge, look for Black Vienna. (It's out-of-print at the moment, but you can make your own copy from the materials linked from the 'Geek.) It's like playing hardcore Clue, but unfortunately, it also suffers in that if someone makes a mistake, the whole thing collapses.

I actually own a Clue Master Detective game. It's the same as Clue except it has a bigger board with more rooms, more suspects, and more weapons. It really isn't much more complex.

I've invented a game called The Da Vinci Game which has 800 clues requiring logical thinking, deduction and so on, with riddles, logic questions and codes.

The proto-types I played with friends were way too hard, however the clues have changed considerably since then and while it's still challenging, it's also much more fun. If you do play it, let me know what you think!

Seems much more like Mind Trap than clue.

I enjoy the 221B Baker St games. I have the original and the Time Machine version. The problem with these games is that there is no reason to play each mystery more than once (unless you all forget the answer) and they only come with 20 mysteries each. There are many expansion packs that each have 20 mysteries in them as well, you could probably find over 100 mysteries fairly easily.

The game gives you a background story for each mystery, a list of things that you need to find out to win (killer, motive, weapon, etc), and then a bunch of numbered clues in the back of the book. Some clues are related to the story and some clues are "puzzle clues". The puzzle clues are usually some kind of word puzzle that will reveal the killer, motive, weapon, etc. As you move around the board, you look up clues related to the locations that you visit and try to piece the crime together.

The 221B Baker St Time Machine version has famous mysteries from the 20th century. I.E. Who killed JFK? What happened to Jimmy Hoffa?

It is a fun mystery game that requires much more deduction and problem solving then Clue. The nature of the mysteries gives limited replayability but, I would not be surprise if you could find 100 - 200 mysteries fairly easily.
