Paranormal Detectives

The headline says it all! The game had us playing within minutes and laughing out loud. Rounds only lasted 30 - 45 minutes even with us being brand new and taking a couple breaks to read rules so it was perfect to play multiple times and allow each person to be the ghost.

A great party game that really digs into how you communicate without words. Investigators as the basic questions of who what where when how and why, using one time use cards in their hand to dictate how the ghost can answer their questions. From pantomiming, a word puzzle, manipulating string wire, tarot cards, and a weird meter that has symbols that are open to many interpretations, the ghost has to do their best to get someone to figure out the details of their death. It was a great game for kids and adults (cards are marked of for sensitive topics like drugs). And if you manage to play through the 28 or so scenarios, you can easily make your own or find more online.

A great game that’s better than old school Clue. YouTube has videos on how to play and reviews that helped me decide to get it.

Really fun game! Took us a little while to get the hang of it in the first round. We've plaid multiple times and with different people that all like it. Its also cool that theirs a phone app the you can use if you use up all the scenarios.

This game is very easy to setup and learn, I’ve only had the opportunity to play it as a two player game, in which one player the ghost and another the detective. I had an great time playing with two players, but ultimately I can see how much more hilarious and entertaining it would be with at least three.I should mention that there is an app you can download that can add more fun to the game. I have yet to download it because I prefer to play unplugged.For anyone who is familiar with other board games I will say that if you are a fan of 221 B Baker Street, concepts, or any of those EXIT (escape room) games you’ll instantly love this and keep it on your top gaming shelf.

If clue and charades had a party game baby it would be this game. One player is the ghost who can’t speak but knows how they were killed. All the other players try to communicate with the ghost through hilarious means to find out the answers to their death. It’s a lot of laughs trying to answer questions through a specific contact method and even more laughs watching others try to figure out what you’re trying to say. The game is really thought out and beautifully made. It comes with a ton of case cards so running out most likely won’t be a problem. All of the pieces have really beautiful detailed full color designs and images. Even the rule book is large full color and written really well to explain every element of the game. The only flaw I can think of is the design of the screens. They’re not very sturdy and tend to fall over. When we played everyone loved the game. We had a friend that wasn’t quite getting the hang of it and won it all last second her first game. Definitely recommend!

Like Clue? Like Cranium? Wish they could make a game to combine the two AND have friends tickle your back? Then look no further! This game is so super fun. I played with people who are meh about board games, and they wanted to play over and over! It’s not a difficult game to understand, if you are looking for something intense, this is probably not for you, if you’re looking for something fun, you’ve found it! If you like Mysterium, I think this game is 100% more fun, and I enjoy Mysterium.

I bought this game after watching one video on YouTube of people playing it, and now I have gotten many of my friends obsessed with the game and we all play every Friday! I would buy it again hands down!!!! It won't let you down. One of my friends loves it so much that she asked her boyfriend to buy it for her for her birthday.**It does take reading the instruction manual or watching a gameplay video first because there are many components to the game.
