Mysterium Park
Welcome to Mysterium Park!
Its cotton candies, its circus, its dark secrets…
The park’s former director has disappeared, but the investigation came to nothing. Since that night, weird things are happening on the fairground. As psychics, you’re convinced that a ghost haunts this carnival… You’re now intent on giving it a chance to reveal the truth.
In this cooperative stand-alone game, the ghost sends visions with illustrated cards. The psychics try to interpret them in order to rule out certain suspects and locations. Then, they’ll seize their only chance to piece together what happened to the director. You have only six nights before the carnival leaves town… Open your minds and find the truth!
Set in the lights of a 1950’s US fairground, Mysterium Park shares the same core mechanism with the famous award-winning game it reimplements, though bringing a different approach: it is smaller and faster, thanks to very quick setup and simplified rules.
Mysterium is a milestone in immersive and eye-catching experiences close to role-playing; with Mysterium Park, you can enjoy the heart of it in a more condensed way.
Mysterium Park will be released at the end of 2020.

The new creepy circus theme works exceptionally well. So many games come with a box of air but Mysterium Park is the exception. It's the size of Codenames with components that are equally as great as the original. Although this is a bit more streamlined it also feels more difficult with less total rounds available to psychics and more possible people and locations. The trade off is inclusion of a witness (which, when chosen, allows psychics to repurpose their guess) and elimination of a weapon. Lots of fun in a small box. For those that haven't tried either, this is a great place to start, offering a similar experience at a lower price point and smaller footprint. I also think it's different enough that there is room for both in a collection.

2020. 2-6p. 30-45 min. Seems to be the same as Mysterium or slightly simplified (perhaps over-simplified). That said, I'm left wondering (about 2p game) -- if it all comes down to 2 clue cards given as a hint to pick from 3 pairs of murder/location cards, then what's the point of playing the first 2 rounds?

A much more compact and faster to player variant of Mysterium with a very quick setup. In most ways it’s a superior version, but the amusement park circus theme makes a lot of the visual design on the suspect and location cards very predictable and repetitive.
