I think mine's Citadel of Dr. Casseopeus. (I didn't spell that last word right... But I think everyone knows which one I'm talking about.)

So far, it's the most unique and I really think it shows off the new graphics. What do you guys think? What's your favorite?

I enjoy DDD and Blackheart Keep

Mt. Peril and Jasperlone Mts. for me.

Mt Peril is my favorite for the moment. I haven't played Jasperlone Mts (Hard) yet.

This Topic was moved here from MM2 Talk by Semi-Native.

This is a fascinating thread. Interesting to see how each player has different favorites! In my mind, this is a good reason why it's good to have multiple designers... each brings something different to the table.

My own personal favorite is Mt. Peril! I'm a huge fan of Tobin's work. (BTW, Tobin has recently come back to Midnight Mansion, and will likely be working with me on the sequel, as well as possibly on some expansion-pack mansions for MM2!)

I still haven't made it through all of the mansions yet. (Obviously I haven't had as much free time as some of you.  :P)

So far I've really enjoyed Mt. Peril, Citadel and Dr. Demented's Den.

That is good news, indeed.

Mt. Peril wins my vote for now, though I haven't gotten very far through the mansions to be honest.

I'm slowly making my way through the mansions as well.  I am a big fan of Mt. Peril, but Citadel of Dr. Cassipoius is really high up there as well.  If I had to pick a favorite, I'd pick CoDC right now.

Have yet to really try Castle Basano or Jasperlone Mts., so my opinion might change. :)

I've only played Mt. Peril (5 saves), Castle Basano (1), Citadel of Dr Cassiopus (2), Dr. Demented's Den (2), and most recently Leofani Manor (1). All on "Easy" and none completed :)

Of these, I have two favorites. Mt. Peril for its really clever design - especially the great use of those deep shafts and platforms, and the feeling of excitement I got as I figured out the shafts and each new area opened up.

Other one so far is Leofani Manor - just started it but I like the "story" - I really want to get into that Manor already! And I love the water pumps and other gadgetry that the writer cooked up with the available graphics. That and the amusing signs here and there make this one really fun for me.

After finally beating Castle Basano (easy) last night, it might be my favorite.  It feels like a very cohesive, consistent world.  It is just straight-up exploration where I never felt completely lost.  I did miss an easy red key in the final cave section and I spent about 20 minutes looking for it -- other than that it felt like a very easy mansion to get around.

Difficulty was well managed, I think.

Now I finally get to play Jasperlone Mts.

Mine is Magma Peak.
Reason: The sign in room 16301, you can actually get away with it.

I found Mt. Peril and Magma Peak the two of my favourites. These were actually the first two I played way back in the beta, and really got me excited (all the new features and clever ways to use them, etc) and wanting to get involved in designing my own mansions for the expansion. I would say the most inspiration came from these mansions. It was super fun designing mansions and I'm glad people enjoy them so. :)
