It is allegedly buggier than the original 2004 game, and its ending cutscene was made shorter and quieter. It replaced the question mark button with an options menu, and the read-aloud button with a cooldown hint system. However, the Deluxe version removed the Make Your Own I Spy feature from the first game.Īround November of 2009, Big Fish Games made a download-only re-release of Deluxe, simply titling it I Spy Spooky Mansion. It also adds new voice lines for the host character Skeleton (provided by Amy Birnbaum), new sound effects and transitional music, a UI lift, and a higher color depth. Deluxe primarily includes two more scenarios, 13 more riddles, and overhauls or updates to nine rooms. It is a remaster of, a reimagining of, and an expansion upon of the original 1999 I Spy Spooky Mansion game. The game is an adaption of the 1996 picture book I Spy Spooky Night. It was developed by both Scholastic and Black Hammer Productions, then published by the former. I Spy Spooky Mansion Deluxe is the seventh I Spy PC game, released 12 September 2004 on CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh systems.
