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.

Seems like little Jack was lost in some huge mansion, but he's finally found a way out... thanks to Vern, Freddy & Brell!

Hello there.....

..... just dropped by - after a very long hiatus - and stumbled upon this.

As you have found out by yourself by now:
Perseverance is the key (apparently)....     Cool

Hi aquamat, welcome back! There's still stuff happening here- check out the new mansion "Hanging Gardens of Babylon," and an easy version of Yellow Sub (which has some cool new additions) is coming soon. Rumor has it there's also another mansion almost ready for beta testing  Smiley

Thanks, Josephine !

I had already seen that there is a new mansion.... and have already downloaded it, but not played it yet.

Even if I am lucky enough to still have my old G5 (running Mac OS 10.4) in use (in the studio), I do mainly use my MacBook Pro (with 10.7.4) these days.....  which pretty much single-handedly ended my mansion-designing days.
And this - alas - is also the reason why I haven't yet played HGoB.... as it is a HD-Mansion and I don't own a full HD-version of MM.

It's all so sad.......   Sad

With one exception I haven't played MM at all for more than a year now.....  and I remember the many years where I spent several hours each day visiting the forums, designing, testing and playing MM.

However.....  the newly released mansion reminded me of the fact that I have at least 3 or 4 "almost-completed" mansions for both, MM1 and MM2 lying around.... which I never finished properly.

With at least some of them it's probably a shame.....   and maybe one day I summon enough energy and will-power to at least finish them to at least a playable BETA-stage or something.
So they wouldn't be completely lost to mankind....   Wink  Cool

HGoB is NOT an HD mansion.  It is an MM2 mansion.  There is a way to play MM1 and MM2 and work in the builders in 10.7 and beyond but it is rather slow.  Check this thread, reply #5:

Oh.... it's not ??? 

I was under the impression - because when - after downloading - I pressed cmd-I (Information) it said:  "Midnight Mansion HD Document" !!

So if it's not.... I can just transfer it to my old MAC and play it there with MM2.....  very well indeed !

Thx, brell.
