Paranormal Detectives is a deduction party game. One player takes the role of a Ghost. All other players work as Paranormal Detectives and need to discover how the victim died. Using paranormal abilities they will communicate with the Ghost, asking open questions about the details of the crime. The Ghost answers in a variety of ghostly ways - by arranging a hangman’s knot, playing chosen tarot cards, creating a word puzzle on a talking board, drawing by holding the hand of a detective and many more! At the beginning of the game, the Ghost player receives a story card with a full description of the murder. Each card depicts all the details of the case. Each Detective receives an asymmetrical, pre-constructed set of interaction cards, player investigation sheet, and a player screen. On their turn, each Detective asks the Ghost any open question they want and plays a single interaction card. The card implies the way the Ghost may answer the question. There are 9 different interactions total, most of them giving information to all Detectives. Since Detectives may ask any open questions and interaction cards vary, the game allows for lots of creativity for both the Ghost and Paranormal Detectives. Detectives may try, twice during the game, to guess what has actually happened to the victim stating who was the killer, where did it happen, what was the motive, how was it done and what was the murder weapon. Then the Ghost writes down secretly on this Detective’s investigation sheet how many of their answers are correct. The companion app provides the game with many more crime stories to solve.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Paranormal Detectives at 5.0 against Christmas bubble's 3.5. Paranormal Detectives also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 22 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Christmas bubble's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
