The P Factor

The P Factor is a game show and one of two minigames introduced in Trouble in Paradise, alongside The Great Piñata Paperchase.

Four piñatas are places on a stage, and are graded based on the preferences of a total of five judges. Piñatas can be judged based on pretty much anything, from characteristics, to whether or not they’re a variant, what accessories they’re wearing, to how far they’ve traveled. Winning the game comes down to knowing which judges will like your piñata best, but mostly comes down to luck.

How To Play

Judge selection screen

Upon entering the game, all four players will be prompted to select a judge. Any character in the game is available to choose, with the exception of any characters participating in the contest. Characters will also not appear if you have not met them in normal gameplay. (For example, Professor Pester will not appear until he has started to terrorize your garden, and shopkeepers will not appear until you have visited their shops.)

Each player must select one judge. If you take too long with your selection, the game will automatically select the judge you currently have your cursor over. A fifth judge is also selected, chosen randomly by the game.

Once all judges have been selected, the round will begin. Each judge will appear one at a time, in the same order as on the selection screen. They will introduce themselves, giving a hint on what they are looking for. They will then think for a moment, before selecting their favorite and least favorite piñatas. The favorite piñata will have sparkles around it, while the least favorite will cry. The judge will specifically comment on a piñata at random, having responses for their favorite, least favorite, and the ones they don’t feel strongly about.

Piñatas will earn points based on the judges choices, with a good vote giving (#) points, a neutral vote giving (#) points, and a bad vote only giving (#) points. Once all five judges have made their decisions, the round will end and the piñatas will be ranked based on their final number of points, with the winner being the piñata with the most points.

Winning The P Factor will give you the Exhibitor achievement. Winning 10 times gives the Master Exhibitor achievement.

Trivia

• The P Factor features multiple lines of dialogue for every character in the game, including for characters that do not have any dialogue elsewhere. This makes it a fantastic place to find more information on the game’s characters and the world.
• Ruffians 1, 2, and 3 only have unique introduction dialogue, as the rest of their dialogue is copied from their selected judges.
