Escape from Nightmare Mansion. Win an XBOX 360 with Kinect!

[Vamantha]

So far I've gotten a grand total of 5 points, how are people on the leaderboards getting 60+? I've clicked everything clickable and nothing works.

Some people have gotten very lucky with the daily mansion tour and others like me have gotten lucky with badge hunting. When you click on the "Undead Monster" badge you have a chance to lose a point or gain a point. The event is very luck based.

No kidding. My second day in a row that the mansion has only offered one click!!! Though, I guess I can't complain, since I am on the leaderboard.

I know what you mean. Today was the first time in the three days I've been playing that I actually had a good mansion run. I just wish I wasn't so sick for the event. :<

Same here about the mansion. Good thing too since I lost so many points badge hunting yesterday I fell off the leader board. Kind of hate this game...

Get feeling better! My roommate got sick over the weekend and passed it on to my son and I, but luckily I was already on vacation this week so I have had plenty of time to rest it away the past two days.

I just got to 18th and now am getting pushed back down because I can't find anymore badges to click. Guess I just need to wait and hope I get lucky in the rooms. Needs to be a better way to find these things. Going through this forum and the leaderboard are the only ideas I had short of looking and going down member lists of groups looking for badges.

Got super unlucky today, and first click ended my mansion mini game. Seems like this contest isn't getting nearly the same amount of attention as the El Shaddai one though, which intrigues me, this game seems like it could be really silly/fun/creepy, and a new Xbox is always nice, especially if its one of the slims and shiny, what with the fact that the shiny case isn't gonna be around much longer. But in the end I guess it works out for me since I still need a new Xbox and I'll keep enjoying these contests till I hopefully one day win one. Just requires I'm lucky enough to win one, like Caramel Frappe, only one I remember that got first place, I think one of them never said they one, and I just don't recall the 3rd, but yea, I <3 Contests I can actually have a chance of winning! =D

Ha, that's what many of us did for El Shaddai, and it worked for that game (despite the carpal tunnel from the endless clicking and untold hatred for badges over the next month...) That tactic probably won't work as well this game since you can also loose points, though it seems to be working for some. I am NOT up for it this time, though a little hunting now and then can be good fun.

I have been getting pretty lucky and only losing a point if I click on the same person's badge twice. Otherwise I seem to be getting all pluses, a few exceptions of course.

... Wow, seriously how unfortunate. I got -8 points in a row (As in finding 8 Users, and getting points subtracted). This game doesn't like me as it seems.. I didn't even get to venture at all in the mansion besides one click. I wish I could actually fight the monsters myself, I would show them a thing or two!!

Even if you lose, at least you got your prize last time! XD But yea, the point losses can be a pain, I only really tested it for about 100 profiles, but my guess is the chances of winning/losing points are around 66%/33%. Could be way different though, I don't have the patience to test more than 100 with how few I've been finding lately.

 

[staika]

oh yeah, gained a lot of points this time. wait a sec let me do this hardcore math problem in my head (8-25=.............) I gained 17 points!

 

[RagnaThePig]

The Mansion gave me only one point today. Damn.

The luck aspect of this game is huge from what I can tell, but there is also something to be said about putting a little effort in. I just happened to notice the competition today while watching ZP, and have already gotten my myself up to rank 33 upon time of writing this. You can get a lot of points if you take the time to find the badges, I mean 90% of mine are from those badges right now.

Also, I've been reading this entire thread looking for badges, and am honestly shocked at the number of complaints. It's a free contest with a fun theme that you can win an awesome prize from; seriously there's no room to complain here (Admittedly I would find being excluded for living outside US depressing).

This is interesting but I don't get how people already have over 100 points...I mean this wasn't up on the front page at all til today. I guess the people in the VIP club got first dibs at doing this.

 

[RagnaThePig]

Nope, some people just read the news before it appeared on the front page.
Also, the event is luck based. And I suspect a few people are spending their day roaming the forums looking for people with an Undead Monster badge.

Isn't that sad ?

He said while checking the leaderboards to see if he was still third.

Hmms I do believe I just got blasted.

Geez, I take a break to go to the dentist and get some sleep. I got knocked down from 3 to 10. Not bad, not bad.

If I don't win the grand prize how much do you guys think this game would get at Gamestop? I don't have a kinect so for me it's grand prize or cash.

20bucks maybe? nah like 10

More like $2 and 5 hours of face palming afterwards. Gamestop is terrible with it's trade in prices. :<

 

[Arizona Kyle]

i got an idea for the escapist. instead of giving away kinects, they should pay there employees!

Go away we need no trolls here
