How to craft a contraption
The Workshop is Room 035 in the Room Directory. Use the central workbench to combine items you are holding.
- Select two ingredients at the workbench. A valid partial recipe appears in green and may ask you to add a third item; an invalid combination appears in red.
- When the exact recipe is complete, choose the option to assemble it.
- Pick up the finished contraption from the workbench. Assembly consumes its component items.
Plan around shared ingredients
Battery Pack appears in three recipes: Jack Hammer, Power Hammer, and Powered Electromagnet. Since crafting consumes components and they are not normally returned to that day’s item pool, using a Battery Pack for one recipe can rule out another craft that day.
#1 Best Overall
- DRAFTING YOUR JOURNEY - Upon reaching a closed door in Mt. Holly, you decide what room appears behind it and each decision shapes your path as you navigate through the manor. Every door can reveal new and exciting chambers that contain their own unique challenges and secrets. But be careful how you draft, for each day the manor’s floor plan resets and the rooms you saw today may not be the same rooms you see tomorrow.
- EVERY STEP COUNTS - Your progress each day is shaped by the rooms you select to draft and the tools you find within them. Items in the game can be used in a number of creative ways to fuel your exploration deeper into the house, allowing you to adopt unique strategies to combat the challenges that each day brings.
- A HISTORY IN THE MAKING - As the heir of Mt. Holly, you have been tasked to explore its shifting halls in search of Room 46. Yet as your journey takes you further into the mansion’s depths, you start to discover that there is more lurking under the surface than a missing room. Investigate a past woven with the threads of blackmail, political intrigue, and the mysterious disappearance of a local children’s book author.
- DAY ONE EDITION BONUSES - Pack-in bonuses include 18” x 12” fold-out poster of the magnificent Mt. Holly Manor and a download code for the official game soundtrack.
The Workshop’s special item pool does not include the Lucky Rabbit’s Foot, the sole listed contraption component identified as outside that pool. Account for that when planning the Lucky Purse recipe.
There is another planning consideration for later runs: if a contraption is retained in Coat Check or carried over with the Moon Pendant, its primary components are removed from the available item pool at the start of the day.

Where to record or discover recipes
After you assemble a contraption for the first time, its icon and recipe are permanently recorded on the “Contraptions I’ve made” page in the Mount Holly Scrapbook, on the Library’s upper floor. A Scrap of Paper found at a dig spot can reveal the recipe for a contraption you have not made yet. See the community-maintained Scrapbook entry for details.
