Mystery Mansion (board game)

Mystery Mansion is a search game from Milton Bradley, listed by Board Game Matcher as a 1984 release for three to four players with sessions of about 90 minutes and a suggested age of eight and up. Instead of a fixed board it uses a modular one: players build a Victorian mansion room by room, adding new rooms to existing ones with the roll of a special die. Every room holds many objects that could be hiding places for clues to the real treasure. A player tries to add rooms whose objects match Search cards in hand, and when a card matches an object in the room where the pawn stands it is played to draw a Clue card, which may be a treasure chest, a key to a chest, a secret passage or only cobwebs and dust. A player who owns a key matching a chest hauls it out of the mansion and opens it outside to see whether it holds gold and jewels.
