Paradigm Blast

Paradigm Blast is a local party game set in a mysterious castle. After a blizzard drives four people inside, its giant doors slam shut and something horrible closes in. You play as one of eight characters and compete with friends in couch co-op modes, including a castle search and 12 mini-games.

Fang Castle

In Fang Castle, players have 20 seconds to search their surroundings for keys and key fragments. Six fragments make a key, and the first player to collect 10 keys wins. When the 20 seconds are up, lightning sends players into a random mini-game. The results award key fragments according to each player's placement, then everyone returns to the castle to search again.

Mini-games

Mini-Game Select lets players choose any of the 12 mini-games to play on its own. These include:

• Rooftop Race: jump across rooftops and try to survive to the end.
• Socks and Shoes: wake up, eat breakfast, brush your teeth, shower, and put on your socks and shoes.
• Wolf's Kitchen: follow the chef's instructions and add the right ingredients to avoid becoming part of the stew.
• SCREAMER: search a graveyard for the exit and use your flashlight if something comes after you.
