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.

Here is Olle the Greatest's  first mansion! Smiley

Because of the demand of a lot of MMF-members: a large, but easy mansion.

The
Octopus Mansion
has ... 8 arms. And while playing the first 'arm', I can confess that the game is easy in general, but the map showed me, that I have been missing several side wings. Huh

Close to 150 rooms!!!! More than enough playing time to come. Smiley

OtG, congratulations. Smiley

Downloading of this new mansion is easiest with the 'important topic' (sticky) on top of this board.

Hi Freddy -

I'm not sure if it's the same for everyone, buy my "Important Topics" is not 'above' but on the previous page.I would never 'nit pic' except that you are trying to make instructions clear over a lot of different languages. The MM community is amazing, but, I would guess, an Administrator nightmare linguistically. As far as English goes, several of us are pretty good translators if you have a need. The new MM Forum is looking so good - a true composite of members suggestions. Amazing job by you and brell.

Embarrassed Of course you are right. Maybe I forgot that I was NOT designing a tricky mansion?! Grin
Thx for reporting. I will rearrange those texts.

This is a GREAT mansion! Thanks, and congratulations. It's so much fun to play because the design is really clever, it's a bit challenging in spots but overall easy to normal, and it's big!

Awesome job.
Cool

I've only seen two 'arms' yet. And yes, how nice  it is built up! It must be interesting for new players and a relaxing, although important experience for regulars. I really like it.

thanx for the fine words about my first mansion Smiley I hope there will be more... I know there will be more, since the Octopus Mansion [not easy, not that normal either all the time] is soon to be released. It's slightly bigger [like 108 more rooms] and involves a lot more secrets, mazes and hopefully challenging stuff...

and thanx for playing Smiley [even though people seem to jump where they shouldn't Wink]

Olle, what an intriguing and creative design. It keeps you wondering which direction you're going to go next. Now if I can just make it to my first save pedestal.  Embarrassed
