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.

Actually they were called CARPETBAGGERS. They were people from the North who went to the South after the Civil War. They took advantage of the fact that most southerns were wiped out financially so for very little money they could buy property and land at tax auctions. They also moved into politics by buying the votes of starving people and then using their political office to line their pockets with public money. The name carpetbag comes from the material used to make the "bags". Without military horses to make saddles for saddlemakers took to buying old carpets, cutting them into pieces and sewing them into suitcase-like bags. Even today in the South the term is used to refer to "Yankee" scoundrels who look to make profits in the South.
