Mystery House is historically notable for being the very first computer adventure game to use graphics rather than purely textual descriptions.  It is also the first adventure game created by Roberta Williams, who with her husband Ken founded On-Line Systems, later know to PC gamers the world over as Sierra On-Line, and currently known as Sierra Entertainment. 
 
The game starts out as a treasure hunting game, but then your fellow treasure-seekers start dying, and you need to find out who's murdering them before they can get to you!
