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

Concerning the missing secrets, my best suggestion is to keep searching. E.g. check the map for gaps when Jack is at the end of TZ2 thus before using any TGV-platform to the finish. That will give me an idea of the current hint-difficulty-degree.

Found the way into room 17500.  I recalled something from the ultimate maze in MM&M.
But isn't this a bit too hard for an inexperienced player to discover?  Perhaps a hint is needed?

Finished with 14 secrets.

Nothing wrong with your memory! The idea came indeed from that exhausting maze. I thought that the existing of the conveyor belt was enough as a hint (besides the obvious gap in the wall). As you know I try new things as hint. I want players to search for odd things. So what is that belt doing there? Assume that there is a room at the right, where may Jack enter it? At last 'where' is supposed to change in 'how' since a jump from the ghost platform to the conveyor belt is impossible. (Btw, I can't change the 6-tile gap into 5 or less, because then it makes the belt completely senseless.)

I have an idea for something extra (that is not a coin or an other reward).

Two missing. Have you read the sign in the blue area about a secret room? It may be of interest to do that if you didn't yet. I don't know what the other missing secret could be. Therefor I must dive into the builder.

Do you remember the total amount of money at the exit?

Perhaps - as an afterthought - the belt and the gap is hint enough?

Yes, I read that sign but I am not sure which room you are referring to.  I must try again.

€17.400

Regarding 17703:

Perhaps you can make it impossible for Jack  to make a suicidal jump from the top of the silver bricks?  Then the problem is solved I believe.  You could use the T to make platforms appear to the sides of the silver bricks or something like that.

And you are also still missing a second secret. Have you been back to the room with the
four giant spiders and the four fast moving eye balls
? To have closer look ...

I thought about that, but there is also the platform where the G/S-lever is. Jack may die there as well and the right side can't be closed because it's a 'landing' platform.

I believe that we are on the same wavelength. The hints for the secret feel okay and normal. But 'play' is on the edge of hard. So wat I yesterday had in mind, you may see now in the image.

Room 17499 is still under maintenance but I used ten spare minutes for a few changes starting with a safer ledge in the upper left corner. There Jack's progress to the red key is with the short ladder. And that is supposed to be a reminder or a lesson as help for what is going on at the other side of the room.

The added lever helps Jack out of the left lower corner .

Regarding room 16703, this is what I am going to do (and see if everything works).

- Replace the silver blocks with gold blocks and allow jumps to the left because of that gold coin.
- Remove the 3 gold blocks left of the lever. And the lever itself.
- Create a G/S-changer in the room above.
- Install a way back ladder from the lower left corner in the room above to the upper left corner of 16703.
- Add the blue key on that ladder to expose that Jack has to go up and down with one way ladders.
- In the room above, add a second door in the lower left corner activated with a press button in the upper right corner.

Are you sure you are not referring to 17703?
