It is a family game you might want to put on your wish list. Mystery House is definitely a no-brainer for those who like puzzles and riddles. The more does not always mean the merrier, I suppose! Verdict More than three heads and you will feel a bit crowded and it’s harder to rotate the house to look what’s inside. I feel that it’s most enjoyable with a maximum of 3 people. Yes, you can play solo, too! I’ve tried one session with 2 players and the other with 4 players. Also, with the help of the app companion, they can still tweak and explore how they want to serve the next expansion. I wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow manage to add more mechanics and more complex riddles in the future. Mystery House has lots of potential because of its flexibility on the plot and storytelling. Anyway, it is a good investment, though, because I know that they have released another story expansion this year. The puzzles are complex enough for you so you don’t have to feel bad spending approximately €30-ish to have a one-shot game. I love it! It gives a three-dimensional-experience you can play on your kitchen table. The artworks’ style really suits the theme so well, by the way. Bring a flashlight with you and play under adequate lighting because it’s quite dark inside the house. The box should be placed on an eye-level to provide clarity during the game. The puzzles from both stories, Family Portrait and The Lord of the Labirynth, provided in the core box are quite simple but I prefer the latter one because it was more challenging. Cranio Creations stowed the puzzle and actions into this 3D puzzle style board game splendidly. You have to try, though! It’s a good way to grind your gear.
This game reminds me of Escape Room that gains popularity in this past few years.

There’s a time limit to solve the story but it does not necessarily mean you lose when you don’t finish the game before the deadline. Your adventure will be rated at the end of the game based on how long do you need to finish the story and how many times you rely upon the clues given by the app. Use this feature sparingly or it will affect your rating after the game is complete. If you come to a dead-end, you can resort to asking the app about the clue you might have missed. There’s also a narration on what happens and so on.
When you encounter a puzzle, you have to give codes or item you have found to make the path to the centre of the house. So, yes, this game needs your deduction skills because it’s actually a puzzle game. To cut the chase, this is a cooperative game where all players all investigating the ungodly events that happen or have happened in the house. The core set also provides the ‘house’ that becomes the backbone to tell the tales and its future endeavour. The interior changes every time it goes on a voyage and so its odyssey. The objective of the Mystery Hour board game is to convince other players with a plausible false answer whilst answering other players questions correctly. Only the brave (or the foolish) ones have the guts to enter this bleak house. It has its own mind and nobody knows where and when it travels. The plot is, this so-called Mystery House moves through time and space. The horrific artwork on the box might be uninviting and make your blood run cold, but it should be that way for a somewhat horror board game, isn’t it? Mystery House, what is this game? Anyway, this game is designed by Antonio Tinto. It was still a prototype brought my Cranio Creations, a board game publisher rooted in Italy.
