Mysterium Park is a board game released in 2020 for 2–6 players, 30–45 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Oleksandr Nevskiy and Oleg Sidorenko and its main mechanics are Storytelling, Cooperative Game, and Communication Limits.
Welcome to Mysterium Park! 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 of Mysterium, though it is smaller and faster. Turns are quicker as players only have to guess who and where and the game ends after 6 rounds. Detectives can cooperate to make sure everyone is guessing correctly. The detectives discuss what they think the clues point to and once they all agree they tell the cluemaster which column (I, II or III) shows the culprit and crime scene. If they are right everyone wins. If not, everyone loses. — description from the publisher
Mysterium Park supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Mysterium Park is 30–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Mysterium Park for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Mysterium Park has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
