The facts about Cluemoo, for journalists, writers and podcasters.
What is Cluemoo?
Cluemoo is a weekly cooperative mystery game for grandparents and grandkids, built from family stories. A grandparent and up to two grandchildren each open their own link with half the clues, so the only way to crack the case is to talk it through, on a FaceTime, WhatsApp or phone call, or at the kitchen table. Each case is built from the grandparent's own stories, told in a short email chat, so the grandkids discover where Grandma grew up or what Grandpa's first job was while they play. Puzzles adapt to each child's age and reading level, from 4 to 17, and the grandparent has no app to install.

What could you write about?
- Screen time that adds connection. The game only works if the players talk to each other: neither half of the clues can be solved alone.
- Expat and immigrant families. Grandparents' stories, and sometimes their language, reach grandkids growing up in another country.
- AI that's personal without being creepy. Each case is built from stories the family chooses to share, and a child's data stops at a first name, an age band and a reading level.
- Experiences over things. A gift for grandparents "who have everything" that is time with the grandkids rather than another object.
