About the game

What you do in a play session

It seems the Warwick Mansion still holds secrets! Everyone thought they had solved the mystery and sent the ghost to eternal peace, but surprise, surprise – new signs and clues that were previously hidden have started to emerge. And the spirit? It's more restless than ever! In Mysterium: Hidden Signs, the mediums (or should we say, spiritual detectives?) must return to this haunted mansion to unravel these new visions that don't fit with what they already knew. New suspects, places, and objects have appeared out of nowhere, complicating everything. Will the team manage to piece together the puzzle this time and give this ghost final rest? The gameplay dynamic remains the same: one player is the ghost, communicating with the others through abstract vision cards full of art, trying to guide the mediums to the correct culprits, locations, and objects. It's a challenge of non-verbal communication and interpretation, where each card can have multiple meanings. This expansion adds more vision cards, new characters, and scenarios, increasing the variety and replayability of the base game, Mysterium. Get your handkerchiefs and your minds ready for another round of mystery and intuition!
