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.

Nyaaaaaarghh!

I LOVE this hard version of Octopus Mansion! Superb layout! It is so great that you switch a lever here and it affects an area you'll only get to years later! And it really is HARD! Great challenge!

One thing drives me nuts, though: I can't seem to figure out how to get all the money in rooms 14491 and 14492. The gold/silver-bricks never ever are the way I need them. When I stand beneath the vine in 14492, the silver bricks are off and when the silver bricks are on, I can't get to the vine! What am I missing?

Please   Cry   HELP!

he he he [is that help enough? Cheesy]

Glad you like it Smiley

A perhaps more helpful hint: don't be afraid to jump from a vine, even if you think there's no use...

Thanks, Olle!
Don't know why I didn't think of that before!
I finished the mansion and all I can say is: WOW!
One of the coolest custom mansions I ever played! I only got little over 80% secrets, so there is a challenge to try the whole thing again in the not too distant future...
Thanks again for two and a half hours of tremendous fun! Smiley

OK, I love the mansion and I'm having a great time. However I've reached a spot that just has me stumped. I have tried just about everything. I could really use a hint.

Have mercy! Cry

I am sooo stuck in room16091.  I have tried to pick up all the coins and/or find a pattern to the colored bricks/faces.  But I cannot get to the levers that release the barricades.  HELP!

Hi Bert,

This is a really tough puzzle, and there is no easy answer. You just have to keep going back and forth through all the rooms, jump up everywhere there's a visual clue. You might have missed a key somewhere. Good luck!

usually, when I play and enter a maze like this (well, not like this, since I made it myself, but someone else's maze Smiley ) I immediately get pen and paper and try to structurize (isn't that a word?) my walkthrough.

There is a way out, of course. I hope you find it. Otherwise, if you get too frustrated, you can PM me with your progress and I might be able to help you out
