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.

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.

16899:  If you miss the $200 money bag you won’t get a second chance.

17501:  I have 14475 but max score is 14550.

Thanks for reporting. The first issue is easy to fix: making sure that the action of the T is not permanent. After re-entering the room the T does the money bag pop-up again.

In room 17501 I had my 7th save with exactly the same amount of money: $ 14.550. I checked that I didn't pick-up anything between the CP and the save pedestal.

But of course something could have gone wrong long before. So this afternoon I started playing BNW 010 again from the very beginning. A few minutes ago Jack arrived in room 17101 with the still right amount of money and secrets. See pic.

But Jach can't save !! He came from below and jumped on the pedestal to save. I cancelled because I forgot to check what my score was. But now I can't save anymore in a proper way because moving left or right doesn't activate the saving procedure. Jumping leads to a large detour. Suspending helped.

To be continued.

I continued play and wonder-o-wonder in room 16899 I missed that famous € 200 money bag as well.

Therefor I arrived at the Cps in 17501 and 18098 with $ 200 short. That means that both CPs give good information.

Next time I will restart with the grey area.

My Jack is two stages further, still with the same results.

In room 17496, just after leaving the grey area, there is only the missing $ 200 money bag, so the CP is okay. See pic.

The other image shows the final green room 16893 where Jack is able to pick up $ 125 before going through the grey door. That brings the collected money to $ 29.100.

Your remark about the head in the middle of room 17292 is absolutely right. It may be solved in several ways. I am looking for a neat one.

To be continued.

My Jack just finished the first part of the brown area.

The Cps from rooms 16093 and 15896 show that the announced best possible scores are correct. But the text on the sign in the latter room is wrong!
Angry

It need to be:"Before opening any coloured door your best ..."

... Finished with all secrets and $64325.  Should be 64625.  Missing 300.

Q: Is the $ 200 money bag part of the missing $ 300 ?

Zip BNW 011 is included.

Both the 200-in-the-lava and the head-in-the middle got fixed. A flouting press button in the red area got removed. All checkpoints are ... checked.

Q: Do you think that the amount of secrets need to be shown? Maybe the dollars are enough?

Yes, absolutely.  That way the player knows that possible missing money might be at a secret place.

What puzzles me is how I missed so much gold but found all secrets.  All gold should be clearly visible if it is not a secret, right?

Since I want to make a mansion that is as fair as possible, my answer is clearly yes!

A few weeks ago I declared BNW as completed. That didn't mean that the designing is finished (for release Wink ).

Following issues I have in mind:
- 'painting' 3 treasure rooms in silver and removing the L0-background that doesn't fit with silver;
- moving a few weird things like the vine-ladder combination to the grey area;
- correcting the balance (money, shields, saves and thrill-of-game-over);
- splitting the row of dark rooms in the purple area, that I don't like;
- checking all signs;
and now I add:
- fixing completely hidden money.

To come back on your remark:
- I am aware of an ex-white room with yellow and grey dots with a lot of hidden coins, of which I still have my doubts;
- at least one coin in a foreground vase somewhere in the blue area.

Q: What is your opinion about falling bags that, after landing, are invisable? E.g. there are 3 in the first brown room and my Jack sometimes forgets to pick them up.

Q: For my checking of hidden gold, can you give the short list of your exact results at the checkpoints? (That is because I didn't clearly understand understand what you meant with missing a lot of gold, while you were at the exit door with only $ 300 missing, maybe including the bag-in-the lava. That should leave only $ 100 in the whole mansion.) Please help me.
