Solicitor Peacock, originally Mrs. Peacock, is a suspect in Cluedo Board Game. She was not included in the original idea of Cluedo but in the first edition.
Start[]
She starts between the Billiard room and Conservatory. She rolls fifth, preceded by Reverend Green, followed by Professor Plum.
Description[]
A tenacious lawyer who knows exactly how to command a room, court or otherwise. Her success has provided her significant status and she's not shy about flaunting it. Boddy Black knows nothing is off-limits when it comes to getting her verdict - even tampering with witnesses, a fact he is happy to reveal if she refuses to represent him in his hotel dealings.
In the Board Game[]
Mrs. Peacock is the stock character of a grande dame, an elderly yet still very attractive woman who maintains her dignity in almost all cases in most versions. She is the only original character to debut with the game who was created after the original patent was filed by the inventor. She rolls fifth in the game.
1949 UK: Mrs. Peacock is first shown as an elderly, yet elegant aristocrat who bears a Queen-like resemblance with her tiara. Head is mounted on a blue pawn.
1949 US: Identical to UK, but now given a body.
1963 US: Cartoon caricature of a middle-aged, decorated socialite wearing a hat mounted with peacock feathers.
1972 US: Portrayed in photograph as a gnarly old busybody. She wears a tweed suit and hat, grasps a cane in her hand with her spectacled face pinched in a sour expression.
1986 US: Mrs. Peacock is a little younger than the 1970s version and lacks the sour expression. Otherwise, she is still a puffy busybody wearing a tweed suit, white gloves, and a blue ascot. On her card, she is simply wearing a blue ensemble.
UK Super Challenge: Artistically updated version of the original Mrs. Peacock; now given a body.
Master Detective: Mrs. Henrietta Peacock is given a more intellectual upbringing than before as she is now an elderly ornithologist with a specialty in birds of prey. She comes beseeching Mr. Boddy to turn his manor into a bird sanctuary. Peacock is given a stylishly scientific look with a light cyan blazer and spectacles on a chain.
1992 US: Once again, Mrs. Peacock has returned to being a stylish socialite with an elegant hairdo and blue evening gown. She is shown on the box sitting, clutching some papers with a Revolver resting on the table next to her.
1996 US: Mrs. Peacock is given a more widow-esque look with a dark navy ensemble, a fur wrap and a wild headpiece full of peacock feathers.
1996 UK: Mrs. Peacock is portrayed looking almost as young as Miss Scarlett. She is known for being outrageous with her flamboyant life-style.
2000 UK/Super Cluedo/Passport to Murder: Mrs. Peacock once again is a younger woman, though more of a fading rose with age catching up. Super Cluedo sets her occupation to be an ornithologist, much like the Master Detective Peacock.
2002 US: A more cubist rendition than before; Patricia Peacock is the usual classy social butterfly, and now also the mother of Miss Scarlet. She had previously suffered three disastrous marriages resulting in the husband’s death.
Discover the Secrets: Mrs. Peacock has been completely reinvented as Eleanor Peacock, a manners-freak with a nose for politics.
The Classic Mystery Game: "Peacock" is now an alias for Eleanor Hamilton, a blonde ingenue. Despite her innocent looks, she is a formidable politician.
2023 UK/US: She is now called Solicitor Peacock, an American lawyer who deliberately breaks the law the win all her legal cases. She is portrayed in her usual blue, and is represented as a plus-sized character, which is a first for Cluedo. In the 2023 online round of Cluedo, Solicitor Peacock is one of Boddy Black's blackmail victims and one of the seven owners of his planned hotel. In this version, Solicitor Peacock got blackmailed by Boddy Black for illegally writing herself into her own clients' wills to inherit their fortunes and forced her to transfer the stolen money to his bank account. After Boddy Black cuts them off, Solicitor Peacock attempts to kill him in revenge but is unsuccessful; she is also busted for attempting to escape to the Maldives (and avoid extradition) the very next day.
