Advertisement

Advertisements refer to the dueterocanon created to promote Merge Mansion. While not all content shown has occurred in the game, it is assumed that the ads are indeed canonical. While some ads are normal, some are weird, and others are just hilarious, most appear in a CGI format.

Five new live action ads have been created which star award-winning actresses Kathy Bates as Grandma Ursula Level 1 Ursula and Grace Rex as Maddie Level 1 Maddie, and actor Pablo Pascal as Detective Tim Rockford.

From the latter half of 2023, the Metacore team has produced fewer adverts, instead focusing on updating existing players using Mansion Updates.
