I made an assumptive leap, as the lever was floating in midair. I like that schooteacherish "perhaps" sentence.

The first picture is taken after he pulls that lever. Fortunately all levers (and thus moving platforms) are reset when Jack re-enters the room.

It is the two lever to the left and all the red hatches or what ever they are called in english.

Rose, I know what the "problem" is. My guess is:

Mick's Jack pulls the lever to right, then takes the ride to the red trapdoors, jumps up the trapdoors and ends where he is now. If he leaves the room the levers and everything else in the room will reset.

So, there is no problem. The room is exactly as the builder intended.

That is a part of the beauty of Toybox's design.

The levers are hanging in the air! and the Red doors are also higher up than they should. Compare with my screenshot from MM1 (not HD). IT doesn't have anything to do with playing except when lvers are in the air you can't pull them.

Brell is hardly blind... I'm surprised you posted that since it seemed clear from *your* screenshot, that there are hidden blockers and that many of the blocks in the room probably move. At least one of the levers causes moving platforms to move which would result in:

- two of the "bricks" from the top-right platform moving down to hit the blockers below

- the entire row of green moving platforms on the top "ledge" to likewise shift downward (causing the lever to be inaccessible and the trapdoors to "seem" higher).

- the three blue blocks under the lower lever shift to the right.

Once these moving platforms hit the hidden blockers (and presumably stop) you're left with mick's screenshot. At least that's what I got from your screenshot without actually checking the room out.

Make sure you've read and agree with the rules of posting here! The forums are run by three administrators. Read here who they are and what you may (and may not) expect from them. 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.
