I don't know why but when I try the game all textures/pictures are black ? I can see the "click to continue" and other text things like when it asks for you name or the intro dialogue, but no pictures at all, which makes it hard to guess where buttons are (I can't find the button to start the game, lol). Do you know if I should use a virtual machine or just play around with the files ?
(I got this problem with both versions)

Nvm I figured it out. Had to go in the Properties and change the resolution.

Having some trouble with the full version of the game. When I move my cursor it doesn't interact with any of the button unless I'm at a awkward angle of it. I can change profiles but that's just about it

We uploaded new installer for full version, it is official installer by EA Games from Hasbro Family Game Night CD (previous installer was from "pirates"), it should work better, please check it

Has anybody found a good solution? I have tried multiple different methods and have had no success.

Not sure what can be the trouble, probably the memory issue, yeah. I googled for similar troubles in other old games, here's some solution for Diablo 2 C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION error https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/blizzard/t/diablo-2-access-violation-c0000005-solution-guide/15329 . Try to do the same with Clue Classic, if it won't help - you can always try to run the game on Virtual Machine with Windows XP and select limited RAM in Virtual Machine, like 512 MB of RAM

After looking into the crash report generated by the game I think it might be a memory issue.

The error code its generating is a C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION

I wonder is there a way to limit the memory the game is trying to use and if that might fix the issue?

I have tried both compatibility mode with both XP and Vista and there respective service packs as well as running as admin.

Try to run it in compatibility mode with old Windows (Windows XP, for example) and as administrator. Sounds like it is a compatibility issue

Yes, just like Danhobs said, the game keeps crashing after a few mins of play. Just kicks you out to the Desktop. Any patch or solution?

Full version will crash after two minutes of game any suggestions?
