First Room problem, I'm feeling pretty stupid but I can't figure out how to open the northwest gate & the northeast gate dead ends.

Hints & Solutions Problem
I can't post this room on the board. Only level 1 is available & I can no longer find the post without inserting a room. I had this problem with the demo & erroneously assumed it would be cured when I purchased but no such luck. I'm getting pretty aggravated.

In order to see the H&S rooms, you need to have CaravelNet activated. You got an e-mail with the instructions on how to do this when you ordered JtRH, and once you activate both the Internet options on the Settings screen, CaravelNet should get updated with your progress once you enter the game (select Continue Playing) and then you will be able to see the rooms you've explored to so far.

We're looking into ways of making this easier...Schik is definitely going to make it so the demo rooms are available to everyone, and possibly make some changes for those who have bought the game as well.

Anyway, I'll move this thread to the H&S board and link the room correctly, and see if I can help you there...

Game on,

Okay, for this room, remember that if you click on orbs in JtRH, they will show you what they do to the doors. (Green for open, red for close, orange for toggle.) The second clue is...



More available if you need it...

Honestly, I don't know for sure. All I know is that when you buy JtRH you should get an e-mail informing you how to activate CaravelNet for JtRH. Being on the development team, I didn't have to go through this process...Erik or Mike or Matt would know exactly what happens.

It's possible that the e-mail was sent to the address you have for this forum username, not the one you used to order the game, if they are different.

If you still can't find it, e-mail Erik at erikh@caravelgames.com and he will take care of it for you no problem.

Game on,

Yarn, please e-mail me at erikh@caravelgames.com with the name you placed your order under, and I'll make sure you get set up with the key.

I still can't figure out this room! My problem is I can't get to the "exit" corridor without Halph opening the final gate & opening that gate closes the exit? I'm gonna need some explicit help here.

Oh won't somebody please give me a complete spoiler? I can't figure out how getting between the 2 doors can work, at least I can't do it. If I leave Halph behind at the entrance & ask him to open the last door he says he can't. If Halph, goes below the force arrows then he cant't open the exit! I am so frustrated, I've spent ages in this room & I give up!

I know I must seem incredibly stupid but the only orb that opens the NW exit is the easternmost orb. The last gate to the exit corridor is opened by the SE orb which closes the exit. So how do I get that exit open? Please, please be explicit. I'm beyond any hope of hints helping. I'm sitting here screaming in frustration & wondering what the refund policies are.

Okay then, here's what I did, with the orbs and doors numbered as you go along the path:

By the way, you cannot leave through the NW exit. You must leave to the NE.

Oh my gosh! Here I am assuming the NE exit dead ends! I guess I missed something after exiting this room through the NE! Back to the game!
