In Room 15891 (with the reversing belts and the gold key going up to the lava pit; it's near the end - I hear...), I am having trouble getting through the progression of backs & forth to reach the level in time.   :-X >:(>:( :o

Is this room just d**nably difficult (& one has to have the reflexes of a teenager to complete it?), or am I missing something in this room for the solution? I tried finding any other exit from the room that might be closer to the small starting ladder, but not finding one (except the one on the left, and the gold door on the right).

If anybody's still on here, I'd love to get a hint or at least know that I will have to work up my reflexes to complete this room.

Thanks,

Long time since I played the mansion. I have to find my old computer and play it again before I can help you. I know that by practise you can speed up your reflexes though. Practise and time will do that.

Hi Jim and rose,

I haven't played it in a while either, but if I get a chance I'll play it and see if I can help.

Okay, I just replayed. There's no hidden trick, you just have to be really fast. Jump off those belts as fast as you can, then pull the lever at the top, which reverses the block the key is on. You'll sink to the floor, and be ready to run and jump for that key before it gets higher than you can reach.

Good luck!
:)

I have also tried it and I wasn't fast enough. I need to practise again. I don't play MM very often anymore.
