Escape from Nightmare Mansion. Win an XBOX 360 with Kinect!
- Thread starter s0osleepie
- Start date
You can only discover a new room each day. Once you discover the next room, you may come back 12:00am EDT the next day to continue exploring the mansion. Reloading the mansion prior to that time will not have any effect on your game play or score.tippy2k2 said:
This is a text based horror adventure game. Read the dialogue box that appears upon clicking a room in order to determine the encounters you have as you explore the mansion in search of an exit. Encountering and killing a monster will give you another chance to continue exploring the mansion (ie - another click on the revealed room). Discovering a way out into another room will end your experience for that day.Omega Scythe said:
The mansion portion of the event is chance based, with a multitude of encounters, and every player?s experience will be different. This means that players who would like to only participate in the mansion portion of the event to enjoy the experience we created will end up with different points based on their unique set of encounters. The event was created this way based on community feedback received from past events, like the El Shaddai community event. There is a competitive portion of the event and a game experience portion and we made sure that there is a tiered prize offering so everyone may experience the event in a way that is convenient for them and still be eligible for a prize.
Please note that the probability of encountering monsters and killing them for points is MUCH higher than discovering an exit. Point accumulated through mansion participation will statistically even out by the end of the event, but there is always a chance for outliers to occur.
Undead Monsters had chewed through a wire on the camera in charge of keeping an eye on that badge. It has been patched with non-brain-scented tape, and the point result should now properly record when interacting with it.
For those who had opened another room (through fear or friendship) and then wondered where that room disappeared to when returning to the page, we've stopped the room from sneaking away in the dark and hiding somewhere else when you left the page, and it should show up properly now.

Hooray for non-brain-scented tape! I am so glad The Escapist office is fully stocked for the zombie apocalypsepaulgruberman said:
The "Undead Monster" badge referred to in the event's "How to Play" was originally named "Denizen of Nightmare Mansion." It has now been renamed "Undead Monster" in order to avoid confusion.Selerik said:

As far as the "undead monster" badge portion goes, while I won't disclose the actual algorithm mechanics, those who actively go out to hunt down the undead terrorizing community members will likely accumulate a net positive amount of points for that day. The brave amongst you shall be rewarded and there is no cap in points able to be accumulated. The only indirect cap that exists is there are only as many undead monsters to hunt down as there are participants. Unfortunately, the undead tend to range in size and strength, and hunting them down always contains some element of risk.

Thank you for noticing the improvements we made based on feedback from prior events!! We make sure to review all feedback and constructive criticism from the community and try to improve each community event based on them. Above everything else, we want these events to be a fun interactive event that adds to the community experience on The Escapist. As we attempt to grow these events in size and complexity for your enjoyment, we will not always get it 100% right 100% of the time. But I can assure you, we are always trying our hardest to do soErana said:
Is there any way (or will there be any way) to tell if you defeated the monster clicking on the badge? I've noticed each time I've done it, I have to go back to the Leaderboard to see if my score changes, there does not seem to be any kind of feedback.
At this point, the only way to monitor this is by refreshing the leaderboard. Unfortunately, the only other options that were available to us was either a PM for every click or a pop-up. We thought both of these options would be too annoying for our community. No one likes spam or pop-ups. If we are able to implement a better way with the time and resources available to us, we will. No promises though.tippy2k2 said:
Clicking on someone's Undead Monster Badge is still not working for me. The page is refreshed and then nothing.
You will only be able to click on the badge once.Vamantha said:
The refresh shows the completion of you saving/not saving someone. You can check the leaderboard [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/riseofnightmares/leaderboard] to see where you are standing.RagnaThePig said:
To those who are having issues with clicking on the badge and it not working: Please make sure you have java-script enabled on your browser. If you're using silly little add ons that disabled java-script (i.e., No-Script) you're missing out on all the bad ass monster fighting fun.
Oh ok... I guess what bothers me is the complete lack of message saying something actually happened.ThyNameIsMud said:
Not sure what do, but perhaps it's time to pull an Ash and figure it out as I go? The whole thing is difficult to figure out, no matter how many times I click the badges nothing ever happens, it sends me right back to the house. (Yes I am clicking other people's badges..)
The 'Help me' badge shows someone is playing in the event, but in order to get the monster badge you'll need to defeat a monster.Vamantha said:
I believe you might be clicking on the wrong badge. The one you'll need to clicking on looks like this:Musashi inc said:
I'm eligible but don't understand how to play... Nor will it let me sign up as far as I can tell. Can anyone help?
