I really liked this game, even on opening. The graphics are stunning, and the directions are pretty easy to follow.A killing has happened at a creepy carnival. One person is a psychic picking up clues to let the other players try to cooperatively figure out the details.It sounds simple, but it leaves a lot of room for creativity in play, though I'd recommend at least three people, it's still OK for a one on one play as well.It is cooperative -- the "win" is in figuring out what happened. It also requires everyone to bring their best to the game, and to think outside the box. For me, the psychic role is the most fun, but someone else that's played would rather be on the "deciphering the impressions" end of it.If you like great art, games that require thought, and a leisurely and moderately loose game play, I think this might be a lot of fun. I loved it, and I hope you do as well.

Super excited to play. Big fan of mysterium.

It really makes you think outside the box! Our family wants to play it every time we are together. Perfect for teens and young adults!

I have the original Mysterium game with 2 expansions. Comparing this to the original one, I think it's easier to set up, easier to learn. However, the playing time is shorter than the original one. It's like a lite version of it. But the fun is the same as the original one!! If you're tired to set up the original game, try this!!

Mysterium Park is a really fun family game. It kind of plays out like cooperative Clue where you’re trying to solve a murder mystery. The difference is you’re only acquiring 2 elements (the person and the place), and you’re actually finding who DIDN’T do it and where it DIDN’T happen. It’s also inspired by Dixit, because a single player knows the whodunit information and tries to convey that information to the other players through abstract artwork cards. I have younger elementary school children, and they enjoyed the concept after my wife and I explained the abstract art and the potential hidden meanings. We have played about 15 rounds of the game and have enjoyed them all. Here’s a quick rundown of the pros and cons:PROSPackaging: I couldn’t be more impressed with the packaging. The items inside are laid out in such a way that every bit has its spot and there isn’t any wasted space.Artwork: The abstract artwork is amazing. The variety fits the different characters and locations well enough to where many cards can represent many different people and places. The dark carnival theme of the other cards is pretty cool too. This would be a good annual Halloween game.Gameplay: It’s entertaining to see how your friends and family will try to convey abstract concepts. Seeing how another’s mind perceives imagery can lead to some good laughs.CONSPlayer Count: The game says it’s a 2 player game. It’s straight up not fun. I’d recommend 4 players at a minimum (1 player as the ghost, and 3 psychics). That gave the best variety.Ghost Challenges: The ghost player can be challenging, especially for younger players. They basically become the game manager by handing out art cards, knowing where the people and locations are, and making sure to not confuse the other players. My wife had the exact opposite problem. She hated being a psychic and trying to interpret what the ghost player was trying to convey. She basically became the all time ghost, which leads to the final con.Replayability: The game is entertaining and can be played several times. However, having a single ghost character run the show every time, eventually you see every person, place, and abstract card. You’ll eventually learn the ghosts card preferences for certain cards, and the game becomes almost too easy/repetitive.With all that said, this game is worth the price. Im also toying around with the idea of using the Mysterium Park cards as a standalone Dixit expansion. I would gladly purchase this again. I likely will never purchase the original Mysterium game. I hope this review helps with your buying decision :).

We love the original, and decided to give this one a shot. The game is definitely faster than the original, with very similar game play. The vision cards are always so interesting granted we seem to go through them quickly if we give more than 1 or 2 cards to people.

If you like Mysterium then you will like Mysterium Park. It's basically the same game minus the weapons category. If you've never played Mysterium this is the better intro to the game. It has all of the gameplay of Mysterium but it's streamlined to cut down on the time to set up and play the game. And for those who haven't played either this is sort of a visual Clue deduction game that is cooperative--everyone is on the same team here. Very fun and not hard to pick up. If you already have Mysterium this is still a whorthwhile purchase. It's good to bring out when you need a shortened game time.

I like that its theme makes it for a different gameplay compared to all the other games I haveThis is my first "mysterium" so I can't compare it to other versions
