Mysterium Park

To set up Mysterium Park, place the main board in the center and position the round tracker marker on space one. Character cards are shuffled and dealt face-up onto the board spaces, facing the psychic players. One player takes the role of the ghost, sitting opposite the psychics. The ghost secretly draws a plot card to place in a stand, keeps two more unseen, and shuffles the vision card deck, drawing an initial hand of seven cards. Each psychic chooses a color, taking matching intuition pawns and innocence tokens. A witness token is also placed near the board to complete the setup.

The objective is fully cooperative. The ghost must guide the psychic investigators through three progressive phases to discover who killed the fair's director, where it happened, and finally pinpoint the exact combination of the guilty suspect and location before the round tracker runs out.

During a round, the ghost looks at their secret plot card and gives vision cards as mysterious visual clues to each psychic to help them identify specific characters or locations. Psychics examine their given visions, discuss interpretations openly with each other, and place their intuition pawns on the board. The ghost cannot speak or gesture during this time. After all pawns are placed, the ghost evaluates each psychic's guess, revealing correct matches and allowing incorrect ones to try again in subsequent rounds using accumulated visions.

Scoring and progression happen through successful deduction. When a psychic correctly matches their target, their pawn is returned, the suspect is replaced by an innocence token, and they stop receiving new visions while helping others. Progress advances across three phases: first identifying suspects, then locations, and finally the single correct suspect and location pairing.

The game ends in a victory if the psychics successfully pass through all phases and correctly guess the final suspect and location pair in the third phase. The players lose if the round marker reaches the end of the tracker before completing the current phase or if they make an incorrect final guess.
