Case 1: The Spoonbender of Israel

The Story

You play as Ken Gordan, Paranormal Debunker, who travels around the world to debunk alleged "paranormal" events, absurd claims, myths, and shameless frauds.

The Screenshots


Meet famous skeptic James Randi, author of "An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural."


Don't let yourself get fooled by the incredibly convincing cold reading techniques!

And finally, confront your biggest enemy:


(I hope the mods can forgive me for this joke thread. Recently, I played the new Ben Jordan game and came up with this joke. I originally planned to wait until April Fool's Day, but I just couldn't way that long. So, I hope you'll find it funny.)

The thing is... I'd play this game. I have a huge man crush on James Randi.

Yup, me too.

Not olny that, as a pedagogical tools, I think that an adventure game is the best medium to teach sophisms and fallacies. (The player can directly experiment cases where things are false  but sustained by sophisms).

Ditto on the James Randi crush. I'd definitely play a debunking game, and I'd be even more interested if the player character had to pull off a couple of tricks of his own. What about a game with Harry Houdini and Arthur Conan Doyle as the two player characters exposing fraudulent psychics and investigating fairy photography?

The spoonbending thing reminded me of this old Fry & Laurie sketch.

I like James Randi as well, but certainly not as a secondary character.  It must star James Randi!

Dito to all of you. I would really love to see a game promoting critical thinking and all the big people from the skeptical community. I would make a little series myself if I wasn't busy with another game project and life in general. Somebody do it!

I want to throw my James-Randi-loving-sceptic hat into the ring and say that I think a series like this would be entertaining.

Roll on Case 2: Creationism!
