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.

Great game, aquaMat!  Thanks for taking the time to keep us entertained.    I wanted to report that in Rm. 15300 one can jump over the blue door without a key.  Also, is the bottom level of 14498 a JS?  I can't get off that level.  Jack won't even attempt to put his hands up to grab the vine so I don't go down there any more.

Hi Jackie,

When I was testing, I thought 14498 was a JS, too, but it's not. Jack has to do some searching and try some things to find a way to reach the vine.

Good luck!
Cool

Hi, Jackie! aquamat has problems with his Internet connections so it might take a while before he answers.

I beta tested the mansion and totally missed the jump over the blue door. It will probably be corrected eventually.

As for room 14498, it is not a JS. You have to find a way, something to do and then you'll be able to reach the vine. It took me quite a while to figure it out, so don't despair. Good rule is to try EVERYTHING!

Thanks Semi-Native and Rose.  It's strange how one can try something about 100 times with no luck.  Then you get some encouragement and BINGO -- solution found!  Got the job done.  Thanks again!

Hi Jackie,

thanks to Rose & Semi-Native who already answered your question....!
Indeed I'm having some trouble with my Internet connection....at the moment it works again....I hope it stays like that !

The issue with the blue door you mentioned is completely new to me (at this spot).
However, we know that - due to a certain "bug" in the game - it is sometimes possible to jump over closed doors.

This problem occurred in a few other mansions as well....and in fact, also in one later room in UF. There I could do something against it.... in room 15300, unfortunately, it will be very hard to do something against it, as it is simply not possible to include a "low ceiling" (above the door), without completely changing the room layout.

Maybe I can think of something else before the next UD..... if not, I just hope for the "fairness" of the players. In the end they'd be only cheatin' themselves.......

(Unfortunately now the secret is out......)   Undecided

Thanks to everybody who is playing UF....and likes it !  Wink

Hi -
I am missing a blue key - I found two to the left of the Save on the 15000 level - I used one for the elevators to get the 2nd blue key in 15298. I used that key for the problem blue door to the right of the Save - 15300 -  but can't find the next one for 15698. Any chance for a small hint?
Thanks.

This was a very clever mansion, which I enjoyed immensely.

The only thing I disliked is that it relies a lot on auditory clues and I play with no sound, so I got stumped and frustrated a lot. Still, I eventually managed to finish with something like 96% secrets.  Cheesy

So, my experience really isn't any comment on the mansion itself. The design was great and the puzzles and challenges were just challenging enough. Great job!

@ arevn:


Thanks a lot for your positive remarks, arevn !!

@ Sherry:


You should take a closer look (=search) in the area near the first blue door to the right of the save pedestal (= room 15300).
You opened the blue door in that room with a blue key that most people use for somewhere else.....  (hint !).  Wink

BTW:  As a rule.....almost all hidden keys (or other hidden secrets) are hinted at....in some form or another. It could be visually, or - as arevn has pointed out - aurally (or sonically) in other instances.
Sometimes even both......   Cool
