What does the DLC add?

Is there anything significant in the DLC for the game or are the extras basically just cosmetic in nature?

The extras are basically just cosmetic in nature. Think of it sort of like a re-skin of the board and the weapons. Each board has different music, as well. And while it does technically add more characters, it's not like it expands the game the same way "Clue: Master Detective" did as a board game. I think it's still fun, but it is pretty much just cosmetic, and you are the only one who sees whatever board (and it's associated weapons) that you picked. Anyone else playing with you sees whatever board (and it's associated weapons) they picked, or the basic one if they don't own the DLC.

The only other thing it adds is a gold spiky-looking frame around your player portrait. Again, whether or not it's worthwhile to you depends on whether or not you want to change up the look and sound of your game while you're playing.

even if i own the season pass and:
-i create a local game using steam as host on TV, selecting for example the sherlock table
-my friends join the room using a smartphone, using the cluesheet free app and/or the cluedo game regularly bought on digital store
-my friends they don't have the season pass or anything else content

the question is: my friends will see and play the standard version of the game or what i selected?

Other players see your chosen character or avatar as you see it.

Only you see the mansion and weapons as you see them.

Other players will see the mansion and weapons they chose. If they only have the basic mansion, that's what they see, and the basic weapons that go with it.

But the game reads it all the same, so when you choose a room, the corresponding room in everyone else's game is also chosen. Same with the person and weapons in suggestions and accusations. The game counts it all as the same ones you chose, even if people see different ones.

There are a lot of new characters and costumes in the Cluedo season pass.

The mansions are pretty good. The themes are all very different. They put work and creativity into it. It's not just one dress in different colors in each pack, but entirely different themes, costumes and hairstyles, character drawings, and so on.
