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.

Stuck in the Four Tubes
22.07.2008 at 22:16:56
 
Hi,

I've been away from the games for awhile and just discovered The Four Tubes and now find I am totally stuck. I have gone down all four "tubes", have a purple and green key but no way to get to the doors at the very top. I can get to the treasure but once at the bottom and past the last save, I can't get back up again. Any clue to moving forward?

Hi!
It would help if you could tell us in which room you are.

Hi zipwin,

I'd really like to help you.... but, as Rose has correctly pointed out, we need to know exactly in which room you are.
At the moment I simply can't "read" your description correctly.....

(While playing, press cmd-D  and in the upper left corner of the screen you'll see the room number....  in case you didn't know!).

Thanks,

I found my way but have two questions. Are the doors-red, green and blue-at the very top of the game just for show? Have found the yellow key for that door. Also. Once at the treasure room and the end of the game (have found hidden rooms) is there any way to get back to find treasure not collected alreaady?

I'm not quite sure if I understand you correctly ?!?

ALL doors at the beginning (top) of THE FOUR TUBES are equally important.....  none of them is only "for show".

In fact, I can't think of a single door in the whole mansion, that is not as important as all others.

I don't know if you're aware of it, but the special "feature" of The Four Tubes is that the player can choose FREELY which tube he wants to visit first..... so each game is a little different....  and therefore ALL doors are equally important !

In fact the mansion is constructed in such a way, that - no matter what you do first (and when) - you will always be guided through the rest of the mansion.

As for your 2nmd question..... if I should guess what you mean... yes - to a certzain extent backtracking is possible (at least to where I think you want to go back to).

(Sorry for being so cryptic, but I don't want to spoil it for others.)  Cool
