Mysterium Board Game - Enigmatic Cooperative Mystery Game with Ghostly Intrigue, Family Fun for Kids & Adults, Ages 10+, 2-7 Players, 42 Minute Playtime

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.

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.

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.

We bought this to play with me, my husband and our 8-year-old daughter for Halloween during the COVID lockdowns. We loved it and have played several times since! The game pieces are beautiful and very nice/sturdy quality. They definitely feel like they live up to the price of the game. I also really love that everything has a particular place in the box, so you can put everything back very neatly -- which helps keep the pieces in beautiful condition, and avoids the frustration of figuring out how to cram it all back in and shut the box. The instruction book is very detailed (which I actually love!), and will take some time to read all the way through. The only person who really needs to read it though is the "ghost". Their role is the most complicated, but still not hard once you've played it through once. There are also a lot of variations on how to play for different sized groups, or to make it more challenging. So far we've only played with three of us. And we did modify the gameplay a little to make it easier for our 8-year-old. The game is sort of like Clue in that you need to figure out the who, where, and how of someone's death. In this case the "ghost's" death. One player plays the ghost, and they are not allowed to speak at all during the game. They communicate through giving other players cards with these really random images on them. The players need to use those cards to try to interpret what the ghost is trying to signal to them. They could be trying to tip the players off with the colors in the card, or some shape, or a particular image or theme. It might be that the person they're trying to help ID is wearing a hat and there's a person wearing a hat in their card. Maybe the location was in the kitchen and there is food somewhere on the card. The thing is there's a ton of other stuff on each card too, so it can be very easy to misinterpret what the ghost is trying to communicate. And the ghost isn't supposed to give any facial expression or other indication of whether you're on the right track until the end of the turn when they merely confirm or deny your guess. We have played it with all three of us being the ghost at different times. It is really interesting (and challenging) to have to get into the mind of the person playing the ghost and try to interpret what they might think is meaningful. Even "worse" the other players can talk to each other, and even help each other try to interpret it. Which sometimes helps you figure it out, and other times you're sitting there as the ghost thinking "don't listen to him! He's wrong, and you were on the right track!" but you can't say anything. Which keeps it interesting and engaging no matter what your role. The game has endless playability, especially if you change up the players. After a while, you can start to get a sense of what kinds of clues certain players tend to focus on (for instance, my daughter focuses a lot more on the colors or bigger images, whereas my husband gets ridiculously nuanced). But even then, we love playing it, and every game is different.

This is a great big group game that doesn’t feel like a party game. It’s a little like codenames except instead of using one word clues, you give obscure pictures as hints. It’s cleverly done and it would be fun to play with some spooky lighting. It’s just challenging enough but still doable. I do feel like there are a lot of pieces and it’s a little complicated to get set up to begin play, but overall a very fun game to play with a big group.

I found this game through a recommendation on Reddit and bought it as a gift, but it quickly became one of my favorite board games. It’s a very interesting cooperative game with a unique concept. The rules are easy to understand, and it’s always a lot of fun to play with friends.

This game is so much fun. Really makes you think outside the box when guessing the clues. A little tricky to learn at first but if I can learn it after 2 rounds anyone can. I also bought the circus version too!

Juego muy divertido para resolver un crimen que varía en cada jugada. Ideal para jugar con familia y amistades, mejora la comunicación porque te obliga a entender la forma de pensar de quien juega contigo. La calidad y el detalle de los dibujos es maravillosa.

Super jeux, de longue soirée d'amusement avec ce jeux. Et on se rend vraiment compte que personne ne pense pareil en voyant une image, chacun son interpretation ce qui rend ce jeux vraiment sympatique. En plus il est vraiment simple à comprendre, pas besoin d'assimiler des tonnes de régles.

Probably the most fun game I’ve ever played. Super high quality pieces and the game design allows for many permutations so no game is the same. This is a must have game for anyone who enjoys tabletop rpgs. 10/10

This game is so wonderful! It is very easy to learn and with the different difficulty levels once you get the hang of it it’s fun to challenge yourselves! This game has very high replay-ability due to the randomness of the cards and the ability to “match” things The cards are AMAZING, the artwork it so wonderful we all get excited when we flip new cards! You learn a lot about the people you play with and how their brain works with grouping things, it’s super interesting and an added challenge when different people play the ghost who think differently than you The expansion packs are wonderful for this game as well! Depending on how good your psychic link with the ghost is (aka guessing) this game can be played quite fast. It usually takes us between 30-60 minutes for one round. We have lost just as many times as we have won, My family LOVES this game, we play it all the time!

Juegazo. ¿Es para todos? No lo creo, pero si tienes el grupo de amigos o familiares que disfruten de descifrar pistas o señales abstractas, estilo dixit, la van a pasar muy bien. Gran rejugabilidad y mejor con grupos grandes (6 o 7, contando al fantasma). Excelente edición.
