@IllusoryThrall and anyone else who would like more clarification regarding "dead ends" in the challenge, basically it's any kind of path where there is no exit. For example, say you have a set of stairs in your house that lead up, but there's a window or wall at the top instead of a door or hall, like these stairs from the Winchester Mystery House:
Or this one:
Perhaps there's a door that opens to an empty 1x1 square space, or say there's a turn at the end of a winding hallway that when you go around the corner you come face to face with a blank wall. You could have a door that opens to a set of stairs that lead toward a door that's actually the "door to nowhere" as shown in the spoiler below, which is not only one of the 13 dead ends needed in the mansion but also one the 13 building requirements as well.
When I play tested this challenge with my own build, I would navigate the entire house in Tab mode just to see where every path--up or down, left or right--would take me, and if I found myself getting turned around a lot, then I knew I was doing something right. Gotta outwit those pesky gnomes, you know :p
Hope this helps
