24 Clue is a board game released by USAopoly in March 2009.

"Intelligence has revealed an imminent attack on the U.S. that will occur within 24 hours. CTU is ordered to LOCKDOWN. Six agents are left inside and one is the traitor, who is planning the next attack. It is up to you and Jack Bauer to reveal...WHO the traitor is, WHAT attack is planned and WHERE inside CTU it will be launched. Do you have what it takes to expose the traitor and save the country? Every second counts..."
