Masterpiece Mansion

After her husband died, Mrs. Fouffenfester listened to a fortune teller and built many additional rooms in her mansion in order to confuse evil spirits. She used the additional space to store her favorite art. The legend says that everyone who enters the mansion has to solve her puzzles in order to escape. Now, 30 years after her death, the player enters the museum to appreciate the art...

Masterpiece Mansion is an educational game about art. In each single-screen room the player clicks on a piece of art in order to access a puzzle. There is a range of different objectives, e.g. answering a multiple-choice question about an artist, analyzing paintings to match them to the correct time period or reconstructing a scrambled painting. When the puzzle was correctly solved, the player is rewarded points and has the opportunity to participate in a bonus challenge for additional points. The player has to earn a certain amount of points to gain access to the next room - otherwise the game is over.

All questions can be answered with by consulting the information center which holds biographies of important artists and general information about art periods.
