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.

Perpetuum Mobile - A few words of guidance
11.11.2008 at 18:49:35
 
Dear friends,

I thought it might be a good idea to give a few words of advice about my latest mansion, Perpetuum Mobilé.

This mansion is somewhat unusual in that the player has to master quite a distance until the first save comes, but after that, as the challenges keep coming, there are more save pedestals than usual, so he can feel free to try some more adventurous moves etc.
There is also more money than usual to be had here, so the player will not lose patience or interest, simply because he runs out of lives too soon, too often.

Also, for a mansion of about average size (close to 100 rooms), there is quite a high number of secrets. So it is wise to look carefully for hidden coins, secret passages and other mischievious ocurrences.......  Cool

While there are several "Mobiles", self-powered moving apparati, throughout the mansion (in fact right from the 1st room on), there are a few bigger ones in the central section.

Not all of them are obvious from the first glance...... one of the hardest might be the big "grey structure" that extends over several floors/levels.
To make it somewhat easier, there is one save right before, and one after it. Both of those can be used whenever the user feels he needs them.

And one final hint about this "grey structure"  (I use this peculiar name for fear of giving too much away):  One or two levers there can be pulled, but they also can be NOT pulled.....depending of whether you think it helpful or not.

If you're there, I guess you'll find out what I mean by that.

Well then, let yourself be (infinitely) moved....by the Perpetuum Mobilé !   Wink

Hallo!

I'm in 18894 and a little stuck. I will keep trying to jump onto the pink brick. Are there any other options? Smiley

I admit this is a somewhat tricky part in PM.

But once players have found the solution it actually becomes quite straightforward and, ahem, easy.

What I can tell from the above picture is, that players having difficulties there
SPOILER:
 
simply have not yet discovered that there's another moving brick to be activated somewhere !!


Look more carefully everywhere in this room......   Wink    Cool

BTW:
The reason why I couldn't reply sooner is I'm down with a heavy flu and considerably raised temperature.......

(That also applies to enquiries sent in to me via Mail or PM. Though I'll try to answer them later tonight.)
