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

Foggy Forest Mansion

I must confess I have not played very many custom mansions, but I just tried Foggy Forest Mansion, and WOW, do I ever love it! GREAT use of artwork, and very fun level designs. I love all the secrets. So well designed.

The only thing I don't like is the dark room, where it seems you need to get the yellow key to proceeed. But I just keep falling off a ledge when I try to get to it. I don't like dark rooms where it's possible to die. I think that's cheap.

Anyway, this mansion is the type of mansion that would win, if I had a level design contest for the original game. Not that all mansions should be like this... if everything had artwork and secrets used like this, it would get old fast. Rather, what I like about this mansion is the creativity. It looks great and is a ton of fun to play.

I understand what you say, but there is one word I am missing: variety. Suztours told me, and she is right, that the minor point of my new
A Deserted Holiday Village
is ... the sameness. And that is what you are also saying between the lines: variety in a mansion AND variety between mansions are so important.

Although I am rather proud about MMaM I knooooow that the minor point is that, because the whole mansion is huge, it is almost inevitable that the pieces of it are also large. In his analysis of MMaM, Psychotronic said, a maze is okay, lots of different mazes are okay as well, but why must each maze be so big? That is boring.

So, variety is the word!

frost, congratulations!! Smiley

Vern, you made my Day Smiley  Smiley
It started out pretty bad and now I'm sitting here with a big smile on my face.
Thank you very much for you compliments.

I have assumed a player would go for the lantern first before trying to get the key Shocked Embarrassed
Well there is still a lot to learn for a mansion builder newbie like me  Smiley

I assumed the key was required to get the lantern... I couldn't seem to get to the lantern otherwise, so I figured a door (that I couldn't see) was in the way, and probably the yellow key would open that door, since it's the only other thing you could see in the room.

Ah I see. So the lever indicated by the silver coins isn't obvious enough.
Well it won't be much of a problem to keep Jack from dying there. I'll fix that soon.
Thanks Vern.

I complained about that... but nobody did anything. But you sure do listen to the maker!  Grin

Sorry Wingy, I can't remember you complaining about this problem. Yesterday was the first time I read that a player risked Jacks life in trying to reach the yellow key while the room is still dark.

By the  way I treat Vern's criticism the same as criticism from any other players, since in this case he is a player not a maker  Wink
