The premise of Mysterium is that one player is a recently deceased murder victim who is trying to clue to the players who killed him, where it happened and with what murder weapon through a seance. But it being a seance, the ghost gives clues in the form of picture cards that have lots of different images (think Dixit) and the players have to guess what item on the image is relevant to what the ghost is trying to communicate.

Mysterium is available in digital versions so it’d be pretty inexpensive to try out. I’ve only played Rear Window the one time. I think Read Window might be a bit more approachable and I think shorter play time but I think I might still prefer Mysterium overall.

Got plays of Foundations of Rome and Clank! in.

Also played Rear Window by Prospero Hall. It’s roughly a Mysterium-style game themed after the Hitchcock movie. The one twist which probably should be skipped for the first play is that the clue giver might be a secret traitor.
