See pic.  Jack is on the blue bat platform in 14897, which started from 14497. For some strange reason, the bat platform stops there and doesn't go down to where it's supposed to.  I've tried going back up and down a couple times, and it always stops here.

Also, there seems to be a key problem. I left the yellow doors in 14899 for last and I didn't have the last yellow key I needed. So I went to the right half of the mansion and then came back when I got a yellow key. I was going to see if I could finish the whole mansion this way, but then I got stuck here.

Uh oh. This isn't good. I'll a quick update to Vern fixing this, and hopefully 1.0.1 will be out quickly, before most people get to Jasperlone Easy!

Keep in mind guys Normal and Hard (I checked) work just fine in this area. This is indeed a problem for easy. Just save your last save point and wait for 1.0.1.

Sorry about that guys!

I thought I was going nuts and was wondering if something was missing.

I have been stuck with this problem for the past day. I'm glad it's not just me...

That's strange. Even with this issue still around, someone named Kelly on the high scores seems to have beaten the mansion. :-?

I too have a key problem, I have two yellow keys for the three doors in 14899, and I've been in both the left and right parts (and down, but I lack a red key). I also have one purple but two doors in 14700. Checked all of the map, and all the keys I see are behind doors...

To open these three doors you need to find the key in 15096, 15299 and 14901. If you used any of these keys on the above areas above the three yellow doors, you'll have to finish those areas carefully and find the yellow keys.

Hmm... it seems if you don't use the three yellow keys and use the key on the top left door above the three doors it ends up in a stuck... Ill send an update to Vern.

Do you mean the door on the left in 14499? Because that's the one I just opened.  :-/

And I see a few more players have finished the mansion with most of the $.

Also missing that elusive yellow key.

Same problem here- the batplat appears to stop early and the same lack of keys.

I'm stuck here too. Sigh.

Don't worry guys, I've sent a fix in to Vern and he'll release an update of the game (1.0.1) shortly (like sometime this week, if I recall correctly). Hold on till then. :P

Off-Topic replies have been moved to this Topic.

The problem seems to be that although behind all the other yellow doors on the left (brick) section of the mansion there's a yellow key, there's no yellow key behind the yellow door in room 14701, and the yellow key behind the yellow door in room 14499 cannot be obtained until all the doors in room 14897 have been opened (not just the red trapdoors, but the gray doors as well) and the elevator platform can descend all the way down to room 15097. Also, until this platform descends, you cannot get the second blue key in room 15097 nor the second purple key in room 15099 necessary to reach the upper keep and go around to open all the gray doors in 14897.

However, it is possible to complete this level. The trick is twofold:

1) Avoid opening the yellow doors in rooms 14499 and 14701 until all the other yellow doors in the left (brick) part of the mansion and their sections have been completed. Remember to save the yellow door in 14701 for last!

2) You can obtain the needed second blue and purple keys in the right part of the mansion (dirt and snow), so I recommend doing this side first. You'll need these keys to open the doors in room 14700 to reach the upper keep. Just whatever you do, DO NOT use up the purple key you obtain at the right (dirt and snow) summit to open the door in room 15105. Instead, finish the left (brick) part of the mansion first and then return to 15105.

Well, fortunately the 1.0.1 update is out, so you don't have to work around this problem anymore. ;-)

I'm still having the problem with the sticking bat platform in version 1.0.1. Is this part of the game play or a bug?  :-/

I played through the mansion yesterday, and the bat platform problem is gone. Are you sure you're playing the new version?

I'm going to download it again and give it another go.

Problem solved  :D
