Hotel Mystère House: Secrets & Surprises
This year’s house theme is Hotel Mystère – a spooky, 1920s train-themed hotel loaded with hidden clues. Promotional photos show 75 key boxes lining the lobby wall, a sleeper-car bunk room with six beds (the first bunks since Season 1!), and even snakes slithering across a “Venom Lounge” wall. Every room hides a cryptic mystery, so players must be detectives as well as competitors.
Explosive Twists to Expect
Julie Chen teases that fans should expect the wildest game twists ever. On premiere night a mysterious masked visitor crashes the house to sow chaos. Another Houseguest enters with a secret accomplice, an unseen ally plotting from the shadows.
