Welcome to Mysterium 2025! We'll kick things off with a few words and reminders from our Con-Chairs to get you started.

A Bahro trying to fly with a chicken over its head? A Bahro yeeting a Pirbird? Wait, it was just a Bahro with a chicken hat?!
 
Split into groups, get to know your fellow attendees, and flex your creative skills in this visual adaptation of the classic telephone game.

Exploring the music of the Myst series through dance and creative movement!

We will do some warmup exercises, learn a simple short choreography, and then express our individual creativity through free dance, all in an encouraging and supportive environment.

This is suitable for all ages, genders, and body types. It is open to all ability levels as long as you are medically able to take part in physical activity. No prior experience necessary. Please wear comfortable clothing you can move freely in.

Back again, the Mysterium Unconference gives you the opportunity to define the conversation. The group will decide on a set of participant-driven breakout sessions. Before starting, everyone will have a chance to pitch ideas and vote. We'll then break out and discuss!

You may submit topics in advance via this form.

It seems the Bahro are up to some mischief and decided to bring Esher to a convention... swarming with Surface dwellers... who love Myst... and they all seem to know who he is?!

Surely we fellow fans wouldn't leave him muttering in disgust in the corner. No, we'll help him with a convention survival pack. Break into groups and create your absolute best (or worst) survival tool for our dearest... friend... Esher.

Host: Guillaume Lethuillier

The Myst Graph project presents a groundbreaking computational approach to analyzing the classic 1993 Myst by transforming its HyperCard-based architecture into a comprehensive directed graph. This mathematical representation, created by the open-source DeMystify tool, reveals the game’s underlying structure as an interconnected network, where locations and views become nodes and navigational connections become edges, enabling entirely new forms of analysis beyond traditional gameplay studies.

What hidden discoveries, late-development changes, and insights can be revealed with this new perspective on the Myst we know and love?

You thought the wahrk was a great aquatic creature? What if we told you there were even more creatures waiting to be observed?
 
Hop on the MARTA and join us for an optional excursion to the Georgia Aquarium!
 
Group rate tickets must be purchased in advance. For more information, see the Registration page.

Hosts: Drew and Taerun
 
Think you know your stuff when it comes to Myst, Cyan, and Mysterium? Break into groups and wager it all when Pub Trivia returns!

We get it, we're a creative bunch! Have you written a D'ni poem? Eager to sing a Myst cover of your favorite song? Or just have laughs to spare?
 
Gather around and cheer on our fellow attendees as they give it their all on stage. And who knows, maybe we'll see the return of Amateria Girl...
