we built a haunted mansion, but every room has a secret | Life & Death

[@jadassalove8538]

Since there is a knife missing from the kitchen it would be cool to see it in a room upstairs like a bedroom. It's ominous and mysterious and makes you wonder why the knife was misplaced. Could be paranormal or a murder mystery but it's definitely a secret.

And of course I’ll post this again on part two with the rest of the rooms, let’s find those tarots! - Outside: obviously on the fountain and at 21:39 you can see one on the ground outside the office window - Crypt: on the floor behind the crate of apples, next to the butler statue - Foyer: under the statue’s right foot at the bottom of the left staircase when entering the house - Living/Dinning room: on the top shelf of the middle bookcase - Kitchen: under the green lady’s lost tome on the hostess stand - Secret office: under the journal - Secret bathroom: in the trash can

Make one of the dead ends look like a pond that's really an aquarium that you can view from the basement. Is that possible? Then you can have George and Lucille in there. And since it's underwater, you can maybe put in a sized down Whalebert. And the missing knife. And a suspiciously white roundish rock

[@lilbasenji1]

I love it!!! Don’t know if it’s possible, but I love it. It kinda reminds me of when I played sims 3 and used the aquarium window and outside pools to make it look like the sims house was underwater.

12:26 In New Orleans, the houses with two spiral staircases outside were built for the fact that at parties, men went up one side and ladies went up the other and if the man saw any of a ladies skin under the waist, they would be engaged within the hour.

I've been waiting for a haunted build for so long!! Also I know that this build is just LD and Basegame, but imagine a LD and Vampires combo!! A vampire house with an actual crypt!! (Maybe even an interesting plot about a vamp who falls in love with a young grimtern who is chased by death?)

This is just a suggestion but what if you put candles in the bathroom (specifically, under the bathtub and) to make it more romantic but also play into the spooky feeling. Movies usually do that and it also makes elevates the room and makes it look more expensive.

I love the idea that the secret rooms DON'T have functional things. Visitors won't naturally look around to find, eg, a bathroom behind a bookcase, if there's another more accessible one. That said, some ideas I'd LOVE to see in secret rooms: - ghoul-fighter training room - grandfather's secret mixology room (no brainer so no explanation) - grandfather's map room for all his worldly recipes, now REPURPOSED by the son!! - basement / attic has a TRAPPED SPIRIT - I know you did an office, but what about a TRAINING ROOM for when the son finally ventures into the underworld and has to fight grim reapers? It doesn't have to be a gym - you can have swords and "holy light" flashlights and things up, along with spooky paintings of his enemies to motivate him?? - a MAP ROOM/globe room with a planning board, left behind by the GRANDFATHER tracing out all of the drinks' recipes' origins, for his speakeasy. It makes sense that this room would have already have been top secret - The room could then have been repurposed! Maybe it was abandoned after the ambrosia recipe was found, or maybe, the maps still have

[@Yua_Miyuri]

Here's a idea that im curious what yall can come up with. A library! A huge one with a historical/royalty era vibe/touch to it with multiple floors. Perhaps you can add a rooftop garden or maybe a small seating area to compliment the look! It's honestly up to you^^

[@bluemoonwarrior3045]

This build has potential for a vamp secretly living on the propert. So put some items that the vamp can get to, like a telescope and/or picnic blanket on the roof top. Change the crypt coffin for a vamp coffin. Have a small room closed off so only the vamp can get in. That room could have a shelf filled with vamp books and clutter. It also could have a violin that the vamp plays, which leaves them to believe the house is haunted when the vamp plays a sad tune, which is almost all the time. There can also be vamp clutter here and there around the house, but the owners just shrug it off as always being there and they can't be bothered to why a plasma pack is in the hallway or on their nightstand.

[@Just_Onni]

IT IS CRIMINAL THAT I WENT 2 WHOLE DAYS WITHOUT THIS BEING ON MY FYP

[@asterix4651]

Maybe in the bathroom you could have like mirrors on the walls where the pattern stuff are. The mirrors won't cover the wall but only the light beige part. Idk the name 😭😭 So wherever you look, you'll see a reflection of the painting(lore) It's elegant and could fit with the spooky theme. Candles might also help the mood.
