Story Summary

Maddie’s Grandma gives her keys to a gate, and she finds a Mansion behind it. After going up to the Mansion Roddy Took, a Building Inspector shows up and tells her the house has to be taken down because it is unsafe. He hints that it doesn’t have to come down if Maddie cleans up the driveway and leaves.

Maddie now starts cleaning up. Grandma shows up in between and answers questions or gives comments about things found in the Garden, but always leaves with a cryptic comment about the past and a remark about her next cake in the oven, that leaves Maddie wondering.

Merge Mansion loves to keep things fresh with its timed events and seasonal events, one of which is the Rufus Causes Chaos event.
