Bulders must take care not to let that happen, or at least give the player a chance to go back. Perhaps we should ask Vern to fix this because it might raise complications?

As funny as this feature might seem, I don't see myself checking each room in any future mansion I will design whether it's foolproof for/against this "gimmick-jump". (I have problems choosing the correct English words here, I feel.... )

Everyone: This is a game exploit; a bug that Vern will probably fix.

DO NOT

try to make puzzles in your mansions with this, Vern WILL most probably remove this.

There are SO many places in the built-in mansions that you could do this, and in the upcoming mansions in the expansion. This would cause players to skip possibly sections of content.

This is very bad, this could've been used to cheat to get top score on the Midnight Mansion Online High scores easily.

Cheers to you Rohful for finding this, it could've gone very, very badly with having exploits in the upcoming expansion.

My first thought were all of the custom mansions we already have. That would be a lot of work to go through and fix.

And Semi-Native, you bring up a very good point as to beta-testing.

Wingy, I doubt they could get a high score if they skipped any sections. But I guess it would be possible to avoid a creature by doing that maneuver.
