Navigating over 60 interconnected rooms in a massive mansion requires precise platforming to avoid hazards like spikes, revolving razors, and ropes. Players guide Willy through this complex maze to collect scattered items, using manual protection via color-coded numbers to manage progress while exploring the various levels and multiple entrances of the estate.
