I have the feeling that my alter ego has to pull the lever left of the $ 100 money bag, but he can't leave the ladders. Do I need to teach him ladder jumps?

A few notes

13499 I like the first room with the wooden moving platforms and black background very much. What brings me to ...

13699 ... where the sign with the largest text (ever Questioning

) honoured me for the idea of that starting room. Maybe you intended the current room with 'my' first puzzle?

13700 Meanwhile I know how to handle this room but so far I couldn't execute it. Each time my Jack ran into one of the birds. On it's own that is not important. But any lost live leaded to an other one because of the giants from the upper row. An interesting new variety of a cheap death!
Grin

There is a typo ('nad' should be 'and') on the sign in the lower left corner.

14099 Just to inform you that I got progress till this room. And a serious increase of lives. Roll Eyes

It is clear that my Jack needs more training.

No. Many years ago you sent me an idea for a starting room, which never took off the ground. I have lost the file but I made this room from memory.

There is a trick to this, which includes a jump to avoid the bird. Sign typo corrected.

Again there is a trick. Added a sign to clarify.

Proud about! For the first time I got all 5 yellow keys.
And again, is this really an idea of mine?

As you may notice, I lost 2 lives of which one with the squirrel jump to the vine in the second room. The other one in the dark room by jumping of the vine to ... the right. If you should wonder why, that is - like Alex Diener would say - for the sake of science. Just to know for sure that it is a very wrong idea!

It went well this time, but the fact stays that if it goes wrong one always (?) loses a second live. Important? (Must be nearly impossible to correct this issue without major changes what would be a pity.

On the pic you see Jack in the upper left corner. climbing a ladder without any destination. I assume I am still missing something.

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.
