"Paranormal Detective" – a game about reconstructing a story from individual facts. You will find it most interesting to play if you use your imagination while presenting your version of what happened and add details that you have managed to...
deduce.
This is a board game for a fun and inventive company that enjoys a challenge. Participants will take on the role of detectives and strive not to embarrass themselves while unraveling the case. A mysterious crime has occurred, and what’s most frustrating – there are practically no leads for its resolution. No evidence, no suspects – absolutely nothing! There remains only one method, albeit a rather crazy one. We need to arrange a seance and ask the deceased about the circumstances of what happened. With their extrasensory abilities and unusual devices, the detectives will interrogate the ghost and try to find out as many details about their death as possible. The ghost is interested in at least one detective solving the case of their death: only then can they win the game. The winner will also be the detective who manages to answer 5 key questions related to the ghost's death correctly.
How to play?
Before diving into the inexplicable process of communicating with the otherworld, necessary preparations must be made. Place the game board, ghost paper pad, and other components in the center of the table. One of the participants takes on the role of the ghost and receives the corresponding game elements. The other players become detectives, and each receives contact cards, a screen, a marker, and a pad. The ghost player studies the history of their character's death, uses tokens to indicate the victim's injuries, and reads aloud a brief description of the deceased's appearance. Well, if you are not afraid, let’s get started!
On their turn, detectives ask the ghost questions, gradually uncovering various details about what happened. Questions that can be answered with "yes" or "no" are not allowed. The ghost must respond only in the way specified on the contact card played during that turn. This can include pantomime, a sound, drawing with a finger on the back of the questioning detective, and other options. Turn by turn, taking notes on their pads behind the screen, players build their own versions of the ghost's demise. On their turn, after the next question, the detective can attempt to present the story of the victim's death. For this, they will need to answer five key questions: "Who?", "Where?", "Why?", "How?", and "Murder weapon?" as well as name key words or phrases indicated on the ghost's story card. If a player answers correctly to only some questions, the ghost writes a number on their pad equal to the number of correct answers. After this, the detective will have an additional chance to get closer to the solution. However, keep in mind that each player can attempt to solve the case no more than twice during the game.
Who won?
If one of the detectives guesses all the key words of the story, they become the winner along with the ghost. If the detectives run out of contact cards and attempts to solve the case, the winner is declared to be the one who guessed the most key words.
Game features
The rules offer participants a cooperative mode where all detectives solve the case together. During the game, they can discuss guesses with each other and share thoughts on the clues. However, in this case, the group will have only two attempts to unravel the story.
The game offers 28 different scenarios of events, plus you can download the free app Paranormal Detectives, where you will find even more mysterious stories!
