This is the 30th day in the series of Mansion MALoween games, taking place after the Cellar. There might be some references to previous games, but you are by no means required to play any of the other games. That'd just be silly! Other games: Day 24: The Cellar(2017) | Day 19: The Maze(2016) | Day 12: The Library(2015) | Day 9: The Bar(2014)
Read me!
The Mansion game is back once again for the MALoween event! Like previous year, your goal is to read the story and escape the place with help of the hints found in the story. There will be a lot of reading, so if that's not your thing I would like to apologize in advance. This game does not require you to have any anime knowledge and will use various puzzles for you to solve.
The game will be split into three sections, each section will consist of three rooms and one locked door. The locked doors can be opened with help of a 8-digit passcode that only consists of numbers. You will be able to find two numbers of the passcode in each of the three rooms, and the last two will depend on which area you are in. Keep in mind that this is a puzzle game, so not every number that you find will be part of the passcode and, in worst case, you might even need to backtrack a couple of times.
Once you have found the correct set of numbers, you will have to figure out how to use it to proceed to the next section. This is done through the gate found in each section that will tell you how to use the code. Each passcode will be entered in a form of "http://bit.ly/" code, since the technology isn't there yet. You'll know when you get to the next section, as it should redirect you to another spreadsheet. If you didn't get redirected anywhere, you should work under the assumption that it was the wrong code.
Try and keep track of everything as there will be a form to fill at the end of the game for you to redeem your candy. You also need to leave a reply in this thread so I can give you the candy! Once you have read this, you will be redirected to a Tutorial page that will tell you more about Bonus Candy, Passwords, and other things that are good to know.
For now, use this thread for discussion and leave a comment if you have any questions. The game can also be discussed on the MyAnimeList Discord in the channel #the-mansion-day-30. Good luck and have fun!
Okay maybe not. I never got around to finish the epilogue for the Good Ending, but it would be something along the lines of "you made it out living your life without knowing the truth." If you already made it to the True Ending, an epilogue is probably not needed as the story kinda ended on its own there. In place of that, I'd like to thank everyone who partook in this year's Mansion game! Based on the results from the True Ending, most people (11 No, 8 Yes) didn't find the extra challenges to be too hard, despite all of those (unintentionally) insanely hard hints and riddles!
As it was mentioned in the final room, this is the final game in the mansion series. You can always check out last year's game if you want more, the ones before that is definitely not same in terms of quality and puzzles. I might revisit some of the older games to give them the same feel as this year's game. Maybe that will happen next year? Or maybe we'll get a sidestory? Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed this year's Mansion game!
"A sign in the wood,
The majestic creature in the sky."
• The sign refers to the Lion engraved on the door to Room 1.
• Lion is one of the twelve zodiac signs "active" between July 23 and August 22.
• Only one date on the list would match that: August 17.
"Valeri Heidrich,
In charge of subjects."
• Pretty straightforward, Valeri Heidrich initials are VH.
• The journal found in Room 2 mentions a certain "Dr. VH-91."
"An anomaly in the mirrored world,
Where there should only be one."
• Also very straightforward, the doors seen in the mirror in Room 3 have numbers on them.
• The number 29 appears twice.
"When the numbers play,
They always return for the seconds."
• The countdown found in Room 4 goes from 01:07 to 03:11.
• 03:11 is the time it retuns to and 11 are "the seconds."
"Sianma's subject,
In an endless slumber."
• Straightforward, based on the journal found in Room 2 you know which subjects "escaped."
• The third pod didn't have any errors but was manually opened.
• Subject 923////0 = 923370, where the numbers 37 are missing.
"The lion's den,
Lies among the suns."
• Unintentionally made this one the hardest hint in the game.
• People thought this was related to the months, which was just an oversight on my part.
• This hint refers to the Sundial found in Room 6.
• The hint also mentions the "Lion's den" which refers to Room 1 with the lion engraved on the door.
• If you convert all roman numerals from the sundial into digits, you get: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.
• Only two dates can be found in Room 1 with those numbers - June 7 and November 2.
"Do not forget the professor,
Who always forgets the coat."
• Straightforward, refers to Room 7 where there are three statues.
• Each statue represents a scientist and all but one can be found wearing a coat.
• The only one without a coat is Sianma Midon, or SM-15.
"Numbers in a box,
Where Dara is the coordinate."
• Also pretty straightforward.
• Dara Avery is also known as DA-02.
• The name also works for the coordinate system found in the "box" in Room 8.
• D-0 gives you 3 and A-2 gives you 4
"A place where Cassini is resting,
And a place where IKAROS made its way."
• Quite easy and refers to the planets found in Room 9.
• Cassini was a space probe sent to study Saturn, which is the 6th planet.
• IKAROS was a space craft sent alongside Akatsuki to Venus, which is the 2nd planet.
Extras - Keypad
• A bit hidden since there weren't any text saying that you could open it.
• The sign next to the keypad is conveniently placed there and word "MEDUSA" appeared in the journal.
• Using the code to translate the word "MEDUSA" grants you access to the bonus room.
Control Room - Map
• Highlighted text represented three rooms: Room 3, Room 6, and Room 9.
• Hidden puzzles found in these room would open up a secret area each.
• These room would later lead you to the true ending.
• This part of the game is undocumented.
R3: "Use the letters to enter the area, start from the left."
• Refers to Room 3 in Area 1.
• Tells you to familiarize with the code sheet to translate letters.
• Six letters can be found in Room 3: CC, QS, and HN.
• Translating these letters into digits using the code sheet gives you: 99, 32, and 17.
• Use the area code of Observatory 63.
Passcode to Unknown Area 1
99321763
R6: "Use the sundial to enter the area, a set of lonely letters.
First in the normal order and then mirrored."
• Refers to Room 6 in Area 2.
• "A set of lonely letters" refers to the letters I, V, and X found on the Sundial.
• The order based on the hint would be I V X X I V.
• Using the code sheet to translate these into digits gives you: 1, 3, 8, 8, 3, and 1.
• Use the area code of Observatory 46.
Passcode to Unknown Area 2
13883146
R9: "Use the planets to enter the area, use the first letters of the existing planets starting from the last one."
• Refers to Room 9 in Area 3.
• Straightforward, only count the planets in the room and not the missing ones.
• Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, and Mercury.
• First letters translated into digits would give you: 7, 5, 2, 6, 7, and 6.
• Use the area code of Observatory 90.
Passcode to Unknown Area 3
75267690
Unknown Area 1 This area references the 2015 MALoween game "The Mansion: Day 12 - The Library." http://bit.ly/99321763
1. "A missing zodiac..."
• Unintentionally made this one super hard as well, some people brutforced this once they had the other two figured out.
• Based on a previous hint, it was already known that Room 1 involved Zodiacs -- the Lion in particular.
• "A missing zodiac..." does not refer to any of the twelve zodiac signs.
• It refers to the 13th tropical zodiac sign, Ophiuchus, which normally isn't included among the other twelve.
• Ophiuchus is "active" between November 29 and December 18.
• Only one of the dates found in Room 1 matches that: November 30.
2. "A date that doesn't exist…"
• The journal found in Room 2 includes the date February 30, which doesn't exist.
3. "You can only count ones..."
• One of the two riddles that are play on words.
• Refers to Room 3 where a bunch of numbers are written on the doors.
• The hint tells you to only count the number 1s found on the doors.
• A total of 15 can be found.
Passcode to Libra's Chamber
303015 + 11
Unknown Area 2 This area references the 2016 MALoween game "The Mansion: Day 19 - The Maze." http://bit.ly/13883146
4. "Voices that should disappear in seconds..."
• Refers to Room 4 with the voices, footsteps, and a countdown.
• Also turned out to be pretty hard, lmao.
• The time remaining before it loops is 01:07, which is also the time it would take for the recording to stop (disappear).
• Since the hint is asking for seconds, you have to change it from "1m 07s" to just "67s."
5. "Subjects not taken care of by Sianma..."
• Refers to Room 5 with the three pods.
• Based on the journal found in Room 2, you already know the numbers of each subject.
• The text found on each pod includes the number of the caretaker: "SUBJ91" = VH-91, "SUBJ02" = DA-02, "SUBJ15" = SM-15.
• The hint is asking for the two subjects not taken care of SM-15.
• Numbers found on those two pods are "9791//14" and "9//12642."
• Missing numbers are 2 and 0, respectively.
6. "Device and the excess..."
• Refers to Room 6 with the Sundial.
• The second riddle that is a play on words.
• Say it out slowly and break down each syllable.
• "Device and the excess..." ≈ "The V's and the X's"
• Count the number of V's and X's on the Sundial.
• There are 5 V's and 4 X's.
Passcode to Viella's Tomb
672054 + 22
Unknown Area 3 This area references the 2017 MALoween game "The Mansion: Day 24 - The Cellar." http://bit.ly/75267690
7. "One half of Valeri and another half of Dara."
• Confused some people, but it's surprisingly straightforward.
• We already know their full names thanks to previous hints: Valeri = VH-91, Dara = DA-02.
• One half Valeri = VH-91.
• Another half Dara = DA-02.
8. "You have to think outside E-16."
• Refers to Room 8 with the box puzzle.
• Coordinates E-16 goes outside of the playfield, hence the saying "You have to think outside [the box]."
• Marking the area outside of the play playfield with the mouse reveals the hidden numbers: 66.
9. "The god of sea and the god of war..."
• Pretty straightforward, refers to the planets in Room 9.
• The God of Sea is known as Neptune, the 8th planet.
• The God of War is known as Mars, the 4th planet.
Passcode to Alma's Prison
926684 + 33
Libra's Chamber This room is one of the rooms in the 2015 MALoween game "The Mansion: Day 12 - The Library." http://bit.ly/30301511
• The letters found in this room (C, L) translates to 9 and 2.
Viella's Tomb This area references the 2016 MALoween game "The Mansion: Day 19 - The Maze." http://bit.ly/67205422
• The letters found in this room (A, I) translates to 4 and 1.

• The secret room accesible through the Unknown Door found in Observatory 63.
• The area code to enter this room can be found in the first bonus room, the Control Room.
• One of the three monitors mentions "L92" and we already know what "O63" and "O46" on the other monitors refers to.

We're now at the natural habitat of some of the garbage human beings in the world.
And here,you see one of them is trying to say something intellectual and funny
But he failed.I guess he's too lame to do so.
I tell you, this one was a challenge and just like lifeiscrazy I got stuck on the second area.
But I solved it pretty quickly once I figured out how to think.
Well done! It must've taken a while to put it together (and it was fun solving it!)
Congratulations!
Here is a small treat for ya' Thank you for playing!
Note: It took a couple of weeks and I barely made it in time.
Glad that you enjoyed it!
Good job on finding the True Ending!
Hope you enjoyed solving it! Thank you for playing!

submitted stuff. your room is always my number one favourite in maloween because your style resonates with me the most <3 but alas, this year I didn't have the time to solve it entirely. I will continue trying to solve it in the next few days o3o ~~unless the bit links die ofc~~
thanks a bunch for still doing this :3
Congratulations!
Here is a big treat for ya' Thank you for playing!
Means a lot to me, thank you for the comment.
The links will always remain unless they somehow get removed, so don't worry!
And thank you for enjoying my games!
Submitted for ALL THE CANDIES!
Honestly your room is the best. It doesn't require searching for anime and stuff. Pure riddles. The story is really good too, always wanting to know what happens next. Hope you stay next year. If you don't want to or can't next year, that's fine too. <3
Congratulations!
Here is a huge treat for ya'
Hope you enjoyed the true ending! Thank you for playing!
Really glad to hear that you enjoy the Mansion series!
I like to distance myself from anime related themes during MALoween, since I feel like we have enough those already.
And from what I've seen, it seems like it's paying off!
Can't promise anything for next year, but I'll see you there if I have anything prepared!
