The ghost of the dead servant is still manifesting at Warwick manor, and new answers need to be found in the Secrets and Lies Expansion for Mysterium from Libellud.

During the game of Mysterium, one player takes on the role of the ghost of the dead servant sending psychic messages to the other players who are playing, well, psychics. Each psychic will be given a psychic message in the form of a vision cards filled with surreal artwork intending to give the psychic player clues as to who carried out the murder, then where the murder happened and finally with what weapon. Finally, the players must determine, with one final vision, who the murder, location and weapon were to win before the night is over.

Secrets and Lies adds new vision cards for the ghost to send to the psychics, new character suspect cards, new location cards and new object cards. There are no new rules just new content to add to your game of Mysterium. One thing that Secrets and Lies does add to seasoned players, story cards. Story cards replace the object cards in the base game. The story cards are now how the ghost died, these story cards add a complexity of intrigue that makes the game more challenging.

Mysterium: Secrets and Lies is an expansion from Libellud that every fan of Mysterium should get to add to their stories of the haunting of Warwick Mansion.

Mysterium: Secrets & Lies consists of six new characters, six new locations, six new items, and 18 story cards. This latter group of cards can replace the object cards in the game, with each card representing one way in which the ghost died. Now instead of trying to get each investigator to identify an object — a singular item that wouldn’t have much nuance to it — the ghost must instead use the dream cards to convey the story of their demise, something far more challenging.

For 2-7 players, ages 10+, playing time around 40 minutes.
