A brief history of the game
At first there was Midnight Mansion, now often called MM1. This game package was for Mac only and contained 8 mansions, each on easy, normal and hard level. Above that there was a builder included, so that customers could design mansions themselves.
Then there was Midnight Mansion HD, now abbreviated as MM1 HD for both Mac and Windows. It contained the 3x8 mansions from MM1 plus 3x a bonus mansion: Tomb of Princes. All in high definition!
Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills, includes 28 mansions with a lot of new features. The 8 built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. Yes indeed, the MM2 package also has an included builder to create mansions!

Custom mansions

In the past decades several customers started experimenting with the builders. Creating rooms. Talking about it on the Midnight Mansion Forums. Sending their own designed mansions to other board members to test them. And finally sending them to the administrators of MMF.
Result? Nearly 200 extra mansions are downloadable from these boards and some of them have over 100 rooms.
If you like to download custom mansions, go to the General Custom Mansions Area (Mac and Windows) where you find the lists with all the download spots.

I quite liked it. The "backtracking" through roof and cellars was ingenious, and the similarity of sections with increasing difficulty the harder ones easier (assuming you don't go from hard to normal to easy Wink). Only in that first room, the passage to the Hard section was Huh But well, first room: if you lose all Jacks you can start over easily... This time, assuming you go for the Hard part first Roll Eyes

Ach, but isn't Back To Square One also a three-way mansion? Not the Three-Way Mansion, I grant you  Wink

OK, I made a mistake, I confess Roll Eyes.
