Games Inventor. He was the inventor of "Clue", believed to be the second most popular board game after "Monopoly". Pratt came up with the game idea while working as a fire warden during World War II in the city of Leeds, England. "Clue" sold 150 million copies in more than 40 countries, and the creator's share of the profits allowed him to leave his job and pursue the hobby of playing piano with an orchestra. The game also inspired the 1985 movie "Clue."
