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.

Greetings from newbie Josephine

I desperately need a hint for A Curious Observatory, please. I keep getting stuck at the three blue doors with only TWO keys and nowhere else to explore (even after surviving the thunderstorm!) Should I be finding another blue key before sliding down the poles or after? (After sliding down I can only find one.)

Thank you!

Can't answer your question, josephine, I just wanted to say hello and welcome.

Wow, congrats on surviving the thunderstorm. I've never quite made it. Almost, but not completely, and I always gave up.

I'm anxious to see the answer to this question myself, because I've never had enough blue keys for that final portion.

Hi guys! (I also posted an introduction on the other thread.) I finally found a third blue key after doing the "short" ending. So off to the blue doors... enter... stuck again.

Psychtronic- I'll have to get the ID #'s, but basically the only room I didn't do was the spinning zappers. Will pull levers for a while, maybe that will result in a fourth blue key. So far this is my most (and least!) favorite cm. The layout is great, not too linear but not too much aimless wandering. Nice work!

I've played around with the level builder a little but never completed one. There probably isn't enough time to complete a whole mansion for the contest, but if I ever finish a level I'll post it.

As for the thunderstorm, I tried to play all the way up to it without losing a single life. HA. But 10 lives was enough to get through and down to the save point. (It helps to jump into the spot where the lightening just struck.)

Hmm. Let's see. If you're talking about the code room with five levers, you shouldn't have to pull levers randomly. The code is hidden about the mansion in five pieces. But if you find four out of five, you should still be able to crack the code. And then the mansion gets REALLY hard. Thanks for the kind words.

Maybe the pieces of the code are not what I thought they were. Will get back into it this weekend.

Cannot figure out the order of the levers above the blue doors!  Hey Psychotronic- PM'd you to avoid spoilers.
