## Description

A horrible crime has been committed on the grounds of Warwick Manor and it's up to the psychic investigators to get to the bottom of it. In Mysterium, one player takes on the role of the ghost and over the course of a week, tries to lead the investigators to their culprit. Each night the team will be met with visions, but what is the ghost trying to tell you? Can the psychics determine the weapon, location and killer or will a violent criminal pull off the perfect murder? Contents: 6 Intuition tokens, 6 sleeves, 6 clairvoyance level markers, 36 clairvoyance tokens, clock board, 4 progress boards, 18 character psychic cards, 18 location psychic cards, 18 object psychic cards, sand timer, 18 character ghost cards, 18 location ghost cards, 18 object ghost, 6 ghost tokens, 84 vision cards, 6 culprit tokens, 3 crow markers, clairvoyance track; rulebook. In the 1920's, Mr. MacDowell, a gifted astrologist, entered in his new house when he immediately detected a supernatural being. Gathering eminent mediums of his time for an extraordinary séance, they will have 7 hours to contact the ghost and investigate to unlock an old mystery. Unable to talk, the amnesic ghost will communicate with the mediums through visions (illustrated cards). They will have to decipher the images to help the ghost remember how he was murdered (who? where? which weapon?). The more they cooperate and guess, well, the easier it will be to the catch the right culprit. This party game is one of the most anticipated games, thanks to innovative, thrilling and immersive features. It offers cooperation and investigation with an asymmetrical gameplay. While playing the ghost or a medium, you will have fun trying to guess what other players have in their minds! So enter in this strange manor and let yourself be led by your intuition.

Review: Super Fun Game - This is a great game I would recommend to anyone! Make sure everyone gets an opportunity to be the ghost, as I think it helps you better understand what’s going on and how to play the game better. Trying to think like the ghost, find patterns, and make educated guesses is difficult, but also really fun. The combos are also endless, so two games will never be the same. The artwork is beautiful and the whole set is made of quality materials. Definitely worth the price.
Review: Storage creator deserves a raise & promotion!! - This game is absolutely amazing! Whoever designed the box storage deserves a major raise!! There's a spot for all the pieces- it is so satisfying. No more "sorting all the pieces that had to be thrown into one single compartment". Our 8 & 10 year old are easily able to play it (we play a good amount of games). A deductive reasoning game like Clue, Rear Window (a must buy!), and Case File.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anything like Clue?**
A: Yes and no - in clue you play against each other moving around a board and making guesses at person-place-weapon in an attempt to solve the crime first.  Information is kept secret and you have to be in the right place and the right time.  In Mysterium you win or lose as a team.  For the first, longest part of the game, you are each trying to figure out a person-place-weapon assigned just to you (each person has been assigned their own unique person-place-weapon combo).  There is no board to move around, no race to the finish - you simply need to all guess your combos before the night ends.  The ghost hands out 1-7 cards with dream like pictures (think Dixit, but more complex and darker theme) to each player - this is the player's "dream"/"vision" - each player has 1-7 cards each turn that relate only to what *they* are trying to figure out that turn (first turn everyone is trying to figure out who their person is, when they solve that they move on to place and then to weapon).  The cards are public and everyone may advise each other on what person-place-weapon they think any given "dream" is suggesting.  After 7 turns (or sooner if everyone has guessed their combos), one of the player combos becomes THE combo - the true murder in the true location with the actual weapon.  All the combos are laid out on the table and the ghost gives out one shared dream of 3 cards - one for the person, one for the place, one for the weapon (it's a little more complex...) - the players each vote on which their unique combos the ghost is trying to say is the TRUE one.  If the majority guesses right, everyone wins.  If not, everyone loses.  So, as you can see, Clue may be the closest comparison, but it is not all that similar to Clue.

**Q: How similar is this to Letters from Whitechapel? The gameplay sounds very similar - I'm wondering if they are different enough to warrant owning both**
A: Absolutely worth owning both.  The gameplay mechanics and reasoning behind them are quite different.  Whitechapel is about DEDUCTIVE reasoning based on Jack's hidden movement and trail.  Players triangulate where the Jack player is based on where he has been.  Sometimes there is only one solution.  Pure logic.  Mysterium's gameplay is all about INDUCTIVE reasoning.  There can be more than one possible solution and gameplay is about getting inside another player's head to understand the solution they chose. Both Fabulous games.  Mysterium is more accessible and family friendly.  Non-gamers can get into it right away, while Whitechapel is more demanding.  Whitechapel is more similar to Fury of Dracula, another great  game that has just been republished.

**Q: Is the game worth getting if you usually only have 2 players? Our game nights with friends are infrequent. Is it worth it?**
A: Depends on the players, personally I think it makes a great 2 player game.With that said, the game is really meant for 4-5 people. The rule book has special rule changes for more players (where you get to bet  on other people being right/wrong), and for fewer people where every person plays two characters at once and some extra cards get added towards the end. It feels a bit duct-taped but the core mechanic of solving whodunits via impressionistic paintings is still fun.

**Q: What is the replayability of this game?  Will people end up developing a "code" for the pre-existing pictures for the same set of possible murder?**
A: Having played this game (for the first time just yesterday), I really don't think that people will develop a "code". Kind of like Dixit, it is pretty free association for the images. Since the what, where, and who are random with a number of combinations and there are quite a few pictures, it will be very difficult to line up patterns all that much. I found it was pretty hard, in most cases, for the "ghost" to pick a good picture, so most of the selections were quite "out there". A lot of free association and using what other players were selecting to reduce the number of choices, it was a bit more possible to narrow things down.I believe that this will be a very replayable game but I also expect that after a few games, the players will get better at both picking pictures to associate and figuring out what the picture might mean, but not so much because of the selection of pictures but more because the thinking processes for both the ghost and the players will become more refine through learning how to pick.Overall, I find it to be a pretty good game.DaveBoardgames4us

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Game -- NOT a New Package, Though
*by C***Y on September 15, 2025*

The game is great, which is why I want to add a five star review. It's beautiful, and fun to play. It's Clue with psychics, a little more thought, and some rules you can take or leave depending on how complicated you want to make the game. My complaint is that I received this game opened. This was 100% NOT a new game. All the cardboard had been punched out, all the cards unwrapped. The cards were bent, and there was some dinging along the cards and the cardboard bits. The cards were also curved as though they'd been shuffled with a little too much force. It took me forever to sit down and organize everything and make sure I had all the parts. If they're going to re-send already opened boxes, they could at least make a baggie for the cardboard bits, or put some plastic back around the cards. Fortunately, I did receive everything, but it was so badly packaged that some of it had slipped between the plastic packing organizer and the bottom of the box, which meant I was annoyed for a lot longer than I needed to be.
