"Roll the dice and embrace the spirit of adventure with Misty in this spellbinding new four-issue mystery miniseries! When Misty happens upon an old board game said to be inspired by real-life Maretime Bay mysteries, she can't think of a more exciting way to learn about her new home than a cozy night of gaming with Sunny, Hitch, and Sparky. But when the game comes to life and expands its borders beyond the board, Misty and her friends will need all hooves on deck if they're to win the game and lift an enchantment placed on the real Maretime Bay. So much for a cozy night in!"
"Gloomy critters, floating objects, and, ugh, no cell service?! Something's ahoof, all right. Maretime Mysteries is no ordinary board game. It's home to a spirit who's cast a spell over Maretime Bay, and the only way to get rid of it is to play! For the first puzzle, Misty, Sunny, Hitch, and Spike[sic] put on their detective hats and search every nook and cranny for the magical item used to cast the enchantment."
"Now that they've tracked down the mysterious object used to cast the spell over Maretime Bay, Misty and her friends take on the board game ghoul's next challenge: solve the riddle to uncover the object's origin and break the enchantment! But the sand that once filled the mischievous spirit's hourglass is running scary low... Can Misty, Sunny, Hitch, and Sparky find the place 'where history's secrets hide and tales of old reside' and save their home when time is not on their side?!"
"A dark force looms over Maretime Bay despite Misty and her friends solving each of the ghost's riddles! What is going on, and who is this mysterious spirit from the board game? The answer may prove to be hauntingly relatable to Misty, but can she take on the final challenge to save her friends and Equestria in time? Find out in the grand finale to Maretime Mysteries!"
