How to survive the Haunted Mansion in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Ooo, spooky

As you befriend Kuromi in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, she’ll show you a Green Power Crystal that activates a nearby Haunted Mansion. Upon entering, you’ll find several doors you need to activate to reach the top floor and advance through the Re-Haunt the Spooky Swamp quest.

Although this goal sounds simple, you’ll instantly find a peculiar quest objective titled “Survive the Haunted Mansion.” In short, you need to solve puzzles within ten rooms to light up their respective lights. Here’s how to complete all ten haunted mansion rooms in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure Re-Haunt the Spooky Swamp quest guide

After inserting the Green Power Crystal into a nearby pedestal and activating the haunted mansion, you’ll find a door leading deeper into the building. From here, you’ll find a total of ten numbered rooms along an ascending staircase, each holding puzzles that range in difficulty and complexity. You’ll also spot a treasure chest near the mansion’s entrance containing a witch costume you’ll need later in this quest.

Here’s the solution for all ten haunted mansion rooms during Hello Kitty Island Adventure’s Re-Haunt the Spooky Swamp quest.

Spooky Swamp Haunted Mansion – Room one

The first haunted mansion room is by far the easiest, acting as a small maze with a second door at the end. If you move forward in this room, you’ll eventually run into a mirror blocking the way to the exit. Instead, you’ll need to head back to the room’s entrance, turn right, and head up past the chairs.

From here, you’ll have two paths leading to the exit. Take the bottom path and run up to complete the first of these ten rooms.

The second room acts a little differently, featuring disappearing floor panels rather than invisible mirrors. On the ground, you’ll see raised square panels that, when stepped on, teleport you back to the room’s beginning. Run through the corridor while avoiding these squares to reach the exit and complete the second room.

Now that you know how invisible mirrors and floor panels work, it’s time to complete a room that combines both. The third room will start you in front of several dining tables, with mirrors and squares appearing throughout the path between the start and exit. From the beginning, head right and travel up past the first set of tables before moving to the middle and running straight into the doorway, completing the third room.

Spooky Swamp Haunted Mansion – Room four

Room four is much trickier than the last three rooms, requiring you to enter the correct door. The catch? There are 11 doors to choose from. If you want to figure out this puzzle without hints, head through each door individually until you find the correct one leading to a green-lit entrance.

If you’ve already tried this, you’ll find the correct door on the second floor to your left. It’s the door to the left of the mirror. Entering this will complete the room instantly, teleporting you in front of the fourth entrance and preparing you for the halfway point.

Spooky Swamp Haunted Mansion – Room five

It’s time for another puzzle in room five. This time, we have a two-part puzzle involving colored buttons and levers to your left. Finding the button solutions requires solving the levers, so we’ll start there.

To your left, you’ll find four grey levers in a square that, when pulled, will turn green. To complete this puzzle, activate each lever in clockwise order until you’ve pulled all four to turn them all green, unlocking a door that leads to the button solution.

Once you read the door passcode pedestal, step on the red and green buttons to finish the puzzle, unlock the exit and officially mark the halfway point in the Haunted Mansion portion of the Re-Haunt the Spooky Swamp quest.

Remember those levers from the previous room? It’s time to repeat this puzzle but with a two-by-three grid of levers. Although the method before won’t work, that’s alright because this solution is even simpler: activate two levers in opposite corners to complete the puzzle and open the next exit. Make sure to open the treasure chest outside of room six’s exit before heading to the next area.

Spooky Swamp Haunted Mansion – Room seven

It’s time to test your maze skills with room seven. If you move forward in this room, you’ll see four purple bookshelves blocking the way to the exit. You’ll need to clear these away using levers found throughout the maze.

There are four levers to find in the maze. Here are the steps to finding the first one:

  1. From the entrance, head forward and turn right at the first intersection.
  2. Head down at the next intersection before right and immediately running up the next corridor.
  3. At the My Melody painting, turn right, head up, and turn left to find the first lever.

Once you activate the first lever, your first bookshelf will disappear, opening a new path. Retrace your steps and approach this new entrance before following its snake pattern to the bottom of the room. You’ll find the next lever here, opening a new path directly north of the previous one. Head here to start searching for the third lever.

Fortunately, this next one is also simple. Starting from the second bookshelf’s location, head left through the path until you reach the wall before going up, turning right, and activating the next lever. This will open the bookshelf on the opposite side of the hall, unlocking the route to the final lever.

Here are the steps to finding the fourth and final lever of the room:

  1. Head right through the third bookshelf’s corridor until you reach a wall.
  2. Head up slightly before turning right.
  3. Head down at the first intersection, following the snake pattern until you find the lever.

Now that the final bookshelf is gone, head through the door to complete room seven. We’re now on to the eighth room, which, fortunately, is slightly simpler than this one.

Spooky Swamp Haunted Mansion – Room eight

We’re back to disappearing floor panels with room eight of Hello Kitty Island Adventure’s haunted mansion. If you try to walk straight forward in this room, you’ll step on a trap panel and be sent back to the beginning. Don’t worry; there’s an easy way to solve this one.

In this room, you’ll also find two buttons that, when stepped on, reveal which panels are trapped and which are safe to traverse. Starting from the panels next to the left button, take the following path to reach the exit:

  1. Walk up from the button until your character stands next to a small window.
  2. Walk right until you stop in front of the exit door.
  3. Slowly move diagonally from this spot and walk right until you reach the wall.
  4. Move up to the clock before running left and exiting through the door.

Of the ten rooms in this mansion, room eight is one of the most challenging, with the next being noticeably easier. It’s time to pull some more levers.

Spooky Swamp Haunted Mansion – Room nine

Upon entering the ninth room of the haunted mansion, You’ll first find two levers and three paths, two of which have their floor removed. Pulling the right lever will lead you to a dead end, while the left creates a path to the next section of the room.

You don’t have to do anything else once you reach the second set of paths. Instead, head down the right-most path and exit the door before entering the final puzzle room of this mansion.

Spooky Swamp Haunted Mansion – Room ten

Two branching paths will greet you in the tenth and final puzzle room. Heading right brings you to a dead end, while running up leads you to a lever. Pulling this activates parts of the floor that were previously inaccessible, allowing you to advance through the room. Don’t move right from here, or you’ll fall off the map and have to start over.

Instead, return to the entrance and go down the right path from before. With the lever activated, you now have a full path to the opposite side of the room, leading to another lever. You’ll now be blocked off from the left side of the map and instead have a pathway in the center of the room to travel down for a third lever. Pull this to unlock another path.

With a new path leading north of your current spot, run up, and be careful you don’t accidentally fall into the small one-tile gap in the floor. Before reaching this edge, turn right and follow the wall before pulling the fourth lever. Although you have more tiles leading to the door, it’s not quite enough to get you out of the room.

Although you’ve already pulled every lever in the room, you can still activate them again to change the floors. With this in mind, head to the center lever again and pull it before running to the bottom right and activating it. You’ll now notice a long path around the room’s perimeter that, although long, leads to the exit door.

After leaving this room, you can access the haunted mansion’s final room. You’ll find another Green Power Crystal for a nearby Ghost Tour Ride here. Although the journey up this mansion was long, you can make the exit short by using the “0” labeled lever to the left of the final room, bringing you to the bottom of the stairs next to the exit.

Completing the Re-Haunt the Spooky Swamp quest

Congratulations, you’ve successfully survived the Spooky Swamp’s Haunted Mansion. To complete Hello Kitty Island Adventure’s Re-Haunt the Spooky Swamp quest from here, head north and follow the map marker to where Kuromi is and activate the Ghost Ride podium. You’ll have a brief chat with the group before learning more about the ghost ride and your next objective.

Although the Ghost Ride is partially active now, you’ll need to clear away some dense fog before it becomes fully operational. You’ll find levers around the area to turn on lamps that, once activated, will clear some of it away.

Getting rid of the fog and riding the Ghost Ride will lead you to discover a Secret Cave in the Spooky Swamp. Within the cave, you’ll spot a treasure chest containing a Spooky Witch Hat and a third Green Power Crystal. It’s time to unlock one last podium.

Unlike the previous locations, this one requires you to dress up as a spooky witch. By now, you’ll have two parts from the mansion and this cave. After equipping them through your inventory, head south toward the quest market and talk to the Nul before inserting the final Green Power Crystal. After one final conversation, you’ll unlock a new crafting recipe and complete the Re-Haunt the Spooky Swamp quest.
