Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills,  includes 28 mansions. The 8 Built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. We don't have that many other custom MM2 mansions yet. Design your own custom mansion! Info below.  You can find out more about the game here.

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.

Are you a creative person and thinking of designing a mansion yourself? Or want to know about how to upload it? Click here and we'll show you! You'll find guidelines for betatesters here.

News:
Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills version 1.0.2b has been released. This fixes a bug in Jasperlone Mountains Hard. Simply re-download the game, bring over your custom mansions folder from the old version and play on. All your saves and high scores will not be changed.

Midnight Mansion HD (MM1) is now available at the Mac App Store and at the Actionsoft website. A Windows version is now available.

Here is a list of downloadable MM1 HD ready custom mansions, which also work in the Windows version of the game.

The MM2 custom mansion Hanging Gardens of Babylon by Freddy/SandyBean/Josephine/brell was updated on 19. Nov 2023 to add a fourth section. Available here

Cannot access saved versions of custom mansion

Hi - I am playing my game (Questing for the Rainbow Key) but when I want to access a save, I get the attached screen.  Am I doing something wrong?

Hmm... it looks like a bug in one of the beta versions.  Let's see what Vern says.

Did you put your game into the directory that the game creates? Or did you open your game from another location on your computer?

Hi Rob - I put the game in the directory the game created when I pressed on 'open mansion'.

Matari,

Here's a temporary workaround:

In your Custom Mansion folder, open your mansion zip file. Now when you press open mansion, select the expanded directory that contains the contents of your zip file. Play that and save it, abort the game and restore - it should work. I just created a simple mansion to test it.

I'm sure that Vern intends to be able to save/restore from a zip file as well. I forwarded the information to him so that knows about the inconsistent behavior.

The problem with that Rose is that any player who gets the game from the Apple AppStore is not going to see the same structure as what you've laid out, though it is close.

Under Applications, they will see (among many other apps):


Applications
+ -- Midnight Mansion HD - Episode 1
+ -- Midnight Mansion HD Custom Mansions


The Custom Mansions directory will be created the first time someone goes to open a custom mansion. The Game Data is now bundled under the app. Are you saying that you moved things around to keep the game components together?
