IF possible, please!

Vern, you really should see my spreadsheat of

Midnight Mazes & Monsters

. You wouldn't believe your eyes. And I said it before. The most difficult part of the creation of MMaM was, at the end, checking and checking and checking over and over again, till I was really sure about the amount of $ 500.000.

And if I may remind you, the counting of the secrets was even in the included mansions a problem. There should still be at least one included mansion with a wrong number of secrets. Spiak found out that Knight Mansion Hard gives 108 % secrets ...

[Which Vern used just now because he mis-typed two things in his previous post of this message.]

Yes, I can see the value in counting secrets. Counting rooms (the total number?) would be very easy, but I don't see why you'd want to? I guess just to know how big your mansion is?

Why would you want to count doors and keys by color? Just to be sure there's an equal number of keys and doors of the same color?

You are right, Vern. Especially in this case, since there was only 1 minute between both posts. But, I should have a look in the Admin Center, because I remember that the time to modify posts is limited. I need to check that.

I will leave the answer about doors and keys to brell. But besides the secrets, the other priority is in my opinion: the amount of dollars! When building a mansion, the problem is that some prizes become invisible in the editor and/or in the game.

Vern's answer about keys and doors is the right one!

It tells you the number of rooms, secrets, and total money you could collect from coins/money bags, but it doesn't tell you anything about keys/doors. This is in the Special menu.
