Both are High Stakes Game anime with an all-female cast. In both cases, the characters have to face situations of life or death, but Akuma no Riddle is way more action-focused; meanwhile, Shibou Yuugi balances action with strategy and escape rooms.

If you like Shiboyugi, you’ll probably like Death Parade because both use “game” scenarios with heavy, life-and-death stakes where people’s real personalities and morals get exposed fast under pressure. The tension isn’t just about winning—it’s about watching fear, guilt, selfishness, and desperation change how characters treat each other when consequences are severe. Both have a serious, dark tone that focuses on psychological stress and human nature more than flashy action. If you enjoy tense rule-based matches, moral dilemmas, and character breakdown moments, each series delivers that same uncomfortable, gripping vibe in a different setting.
