Egyptian Mystery was an attraction in the Colonnade across from the theater at Olentangy Park.[1] It opened in 1906.[2][3] It was still listed as an attraction in 1910,[4] but not found later than that year, and the Hindoo Mystery appears to have replaced it in the Colonnade in 1908. It might have been staffed by the members of the Gypsy Camp.
Postcard images show "The Hindoo Mystery" in the center of the Colonnade[5], where the Egyptian Mystery is seen in an earlier postcard photo. However, the House of Hindoo Mystery was said to be in the Fantasma building.[6]
