Easy
15895 – The first room. The grey door at the left-hand side cannot be used and could be replaced with a wall. Alternatively Jack could start outside and come in through that door – the addition of a couple of rooms might not be a bad thing because the first save point is quite early in the mansion.
Accommodation is spelled incorrectly on one of the signs.
15705 – Is this room a bit difficult for an easy mansion with the bird and two relatively fast moving spiders?
15706 – You get a purple key in this room and you then have two choices:
1. You can go back the way you came and use the key in 15906 and you get a replacement purple key and a blue key in 15905.
2. You can use the key in 15705 and you the arrive in a room with a blue door that you have no key for. You can't now get the blue key in 15905 because you've already used the purple key! The effect of this is that you can only get one of the two red keys available in this room. You can't get through the two red doors in 15904 when you slide down the pole and you are stuck.
Obviously the better choice is option 1 but a beginner playing an easy mansion might not see this immediately.
16704 – If Jack comes into this room from the right and goes across to collect the money and open the grey door he has no way out. A falling platform appears if he comes into 16704 from the room above, 16504, but not if he comes from 16705.
16498 – 16495 – Sherryl's comments about these rooms apply to Easy as well as Normal.
A general point – I find the arrangement of the secrets in this mansion a bit odd. In most cases a secret is behind a clearly visible yellow door e.g. 16097 and 16099. In other cases the secret is found, as you expect in most mansions, by walking through a wall or down a concealed ladder e.g. from 16308 to 16309 and from 15698 to 15898.
There are also a couple of areas that could be secrets but aren't – a yellow key in a dark room, 16294, is accessed by jumping off a vine in 16295 and walking through the earth. A yellow key in 16108 is found by going down a concealed ladder underneath a moving platform in 15908.
