The Horror Mansion Guides
Walkthroughs for surviving K1ir’s haunted mansion—from first join to advanced AI breaks.
Welcome to the Guides Hub for The Horror Mansion, K1ir’s free-to-play Roblox survival horror/comedy classic released 2016-10-13 (place 522527978, universe 203829788). Your goal is simple to say and hard to master: survive as long as possible while killers spawn each round in a compact haunted mansion. Community reports often describe roughly ~90-second-style round pacing, so every hallway decision matters.
This hub links every English guide on the wiki. Start with Getting Started if you just installed Roblox on PC, Mac, mobile, or Xbox. Jump to How to Survive when you already know the lobby but keep dying. Use the Map Guide to memorize rooms, then graduate into Safe Zones and Glitches that break killer AI by climbing desks and furniture. Farm trophies on Badges and queue together via Friends & Servers.

How a typical run flows
- Spawn into the small mansion and orient using the Map Guide.
- Identify the main room where killers tend to appear, then pre-plan exits toward the computer lab, hallways, kitchen, restrooms, and storage.
- When a killer spawns, prioritize elevation and line-of-sight breaks over heroic confrontations—see How to Survive.
- Climb desks and furniture to stall pathfinding; Safe Zones and Glitches cover the practical spots.
- Between rounds, reset positioning instead of camping one corner forever; killers rotate and counter habits.
Fans have documented 200+ killers, including names like ANGER44, Limbless, Umbra, Necrobloxicon, Slendytubbies Face, and assorted SCP variants. Rank them on the Killers Tier List after you can last a few consecutive waves. Dedicated counters: Limbless and ANGER44.
