New for Mysterium 2020, we’ve decided to create an activity book based on Myst, Mysterium, Obduction, and other Cyan-related content. We’ll be making some of our own pages, but we want to open submissions up to the entire fan-base. Feel free to submit a coloring page, word search, crossword, or any other activity you can think of!
These will be printed in high-quality booklets. They will be available to all attendees, and we may make them available for purchase after the con.
