Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills,  includes 28 mansions. The 8 Built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. We don't have that many other custom MM2 mansions yet. Design your own custom mansion! Info below.  You can find out more about the game here.

The original Midnight Mansion game contains over 150 mansions. The 8 included mansions which have 3 difficulty levels each, and about 115 approved custom mansions which you can download here and also several freely uploaded mansions. To know the difference between these three types of mansions, click here.

Are you a creative person and thinking of designing a mansion yourself? Or want to know about how to upload it? Click here and we'll show you! You'll find guidelines for betatesters here.

News:
Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills version 1.0.2b has been released. This fixes a bug in Jasperlone Mountains Hard. Simply re-download the game, bring over your custom mansions folder from the old version and play on. All your saves and high scores will not be changed.

Midnight Mansion HD (MM1) is now available at the Mac App Store and at the Actionsoft website. A Windows version is now available.

Here is a list of downloadable MM1 HD ready custom mansions, which also work in the Windows version of the game.

The MM2 custom mansion Hanging Gardens of Babylon by Freddy/SandyBean/Josephine/brell was updated on 19. Nov 2023 to add a fourth section. Available here

If you do some strange theme music (like the twilight zone) I dont think that counts as being copyrighted because the guy who did the original version is dead.(If there is an original version... Wink)

Sam,

I'm afraid it isn't that easy.  First of all, a composer has to be dead for more than 70 years (European law; in the US it could be 50 years) and then his works might become public domain.
In other cases the works (original recordings) have to be made 50 years or more ago.... so any recordings from 1957 onward do not apply at all.

Also, often copyrights are renewed, and go over to the estate of a deceased composer etc. .... so it's definitely not as straightforward as you might imagine (I'm sorry to say).

It is even more complicated than that. The composer's death is one thing. But although e.g. Bach is dead for a very long time, the performers have rights as well.

There is only one safe solution for MM: making music yourself. Sorry, Sam.

No, not at all.......   but I am a composer, and I know how I would feel if my copyrights were violated !!

BTW: I'm not writing this, to put you off, or cause trouble.... but to PREVENT trouble !!  I know that -especially in America- copyright lawsuits can get very expensive.....  and I'm sure we don't want that to happen.
