About the game

What you do in a play session

Welcome to the 1920s, a time when Spiritualism was at its peak and people were desperate to make contact with the 'other side.' In Ouija Manor, you and your group of investigators enter a mansion filled with mysteries to help restless spirits find eternal peace. The game is a cooperative deduction experience where the Victorian vibe and Art Nouveau aesthetic create a unique atmosphere. The twist here is that one player takes on the role of the spirit. This player knows exactly what happened, but there's a catch: they cannot speak! They must guide the investigators using only intuition and a miniature Ouija board, pointing to clues scattered throughout the house.

The board is assembled in 3D, providing incredible immersion for the game. While the spirit tries to communicate through cryptic messages, the other players need to piece together the obituary puzzle by analyzing fragments of information found in the mansion's rooms. The goal is simple yet challenging: discover the spirit's identity and the cause of their untimely death before time runs out. It is a game that requires great harmony among the team. If you enjoy mystery games where communication is limited and the mood is suspenseful, Ouija Manor will win you over. The table becomes a real séance, where every hint given by the 'dead' must be interpreted carefully. With eye-catching components and a mechanic that forces constant collaboration, it is a great choice for groups who enjoy investigating and unraveling secrets. It is easy to learn, but requires total focus so no detail is missed. Get ready to decipher the past and help these lost souls finally move on.
