Clue or Cluedo?

I don't know much about Doctor Who's history with the Clue/do brand, but shouldn't British English take priority with the naming here?

For what its worth, this exists; I have no idea if it's the same specific game just with the Cluedo name and entirely different graphics, or a different version altogether. WaltK 16:59, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Both this version and The Hunt for Gallifrey version linked by Walt both seem to have distinct stories behind them and I see no reason why they shouldn't be covered as proper sources, potentially even valid ones in the aftermath of the multi-path forum thread.
To this end, my preference would be to create Cluedo (franchise) as a "Real world series with DWU connections" page (using the British name as per policy) in addition to the source page The Hunt for Gallifrey (game) for the currently-uncovered version. Meanwhile, this article should be dabbed, either as Clue: Doctor Who (game) or simply Clue (game). T:SPELL states "In the case of products aimed at a non-British market, their spellings and word choices should predominate" so unless this version was also released in Britain I see no cause to include "Cluedo" in the title.
