Chapter 9:
1. Enter the right door to a kids’ playroom. First, solve the abacus puzzle using the clue from the floor mat from the playroom in the manor. Take the key.
You can also watch my video walkthrough for Chapter 9 here:
2. Tap on the toy robot on the table. Take the star dial from the back, then insert the battery. Take a photo of the backwards “C” and tap the robot to get it to blink its eyes. Take note of the order: Left, Right, Left, Left, Right.
3. Take a photo of the tower of blocks made of different materials. It’s a clue we’ll need soon. Also, look in the crib to find a monitor and a creepy doll. Take a photo of the “C” on the doll’s leg.
4. Leave that room and enter the left one. Use the crowbar to break the glass on the framed arrow, then take the flag.
5. Leave that room and head forward. Enter the next right door to the bath room. Notice the tubs with the backward numbers.
6. Go to the mirror. Take a photo of the flowers for later. Open the mirror and take the screwdriver. Use the screwdriver to remove the mirror. Then put the mirror on the left side of the cabinet and take a photo of the circled numbers over the tubs. Then remove the mirror again and hold onto it.
7. Leave that room and enter the left room. Place one baby monitor next to the bottle. Then go to the TV and take out the photos of the TV guide to figure out what to set it to. Pay close attention to the two circled TV shows, “Thunderfly” and “The Sprinting Dead.” The description for one says to crank the volume to the max. So turn the volume knob to 10. The two shows are on channel 3, so switch the channel to 3. The last part is the trickiest. Notice the “Picks of the week” at the bottom of the page. Those four circles represent the four colored buttons on the TV. Since Thunderfly and The Sprinting Dead are the ones circled, those are the two buttons you need to press, and at the same time. So press the red and blue buttons at once and take the key from the drawer.
8. Leave the room and continue forward. Enter the next right door. Place the other baby monitor on the table next to the four bottles of water. Take out the photo of the circled numbers above the tubs and tap each bottle in the order shown, matching the level of water in the tubs.
9. Go back to the TV room and take the key from the open box.
10. Leave the room. You can place the three keys you have in the locks to the left, but you’re still missing one. So continue ahead.

Hi, ho do I her the ladder Thatcher is used to het over the wall to the old asylum?
Let me add a photo for that.
Icant fin the ladder
I still can’t find the ladder. Any help is appreciated.
You can’t take the ladder from he very first cabin (where you begin the game). Think about the next cabin where you saw and used a ladder.
Sorry, I got distracted earlier. I added a photo now.
I have tried, tried and tried to solve the hanoi/radio puzzle. Its starting to feel like a bug. Please help!!
Hanoi? I’m not sure what you mean.
The pyramid game in the playroom is an ancient Zen Buddhist puzzle known as ‘The Pillars (sometimes Towers) of Hanoi’. Usually, it’s just 3 columns and six discs. The objective is to move the discs from the left column over to the right, the only rule is that a larger disc cannot be placed on top of a smaller one. The optimal number of moves is, supposedly, the square of the number of discs, plus one.
It’s been an adventuring staple for decades; I remember it being used in a Zork, back in the early ’80s – try solving it when all you’ve got are words!
Now, my turn. Got coffee and C, developed map. I have followed it, as per your instructions, three times and, every time, arrived at a closed cave. Is there something I’m not doing correctly…? Am I missing something (aside from a clue)…?
Ahh yes. I’m familiar with the puzzle, just didn’t know the name.
As for the map, my instructions should get you to the open cave door. But I’ll double-check to make sure I didn’t make any typos or something.
I had the same problem as @SJ, then I realized that I hadn’t followed the map precisely from the very start. When I took the correct first step, I had an open cave door waiting for me at the end of the trail. ?
It took me ages too, because you can’t get rid of the green ones. With the Hanoi puzzle, where you have just red/yellow discs, take that as being the top of the equaliser band, ie. if there is 1 red and 2 yellow only, click that band up to all green plus 2 yellow and one red.
I cant find the ladder where is it
In the cabin
The game in the kids room is a clue to the radio puzzle, and I have no idea how to solve it.
Oh! The pyramid thing? I posted a photo, but basically pay attention to the top color on the toy and set each one to match it. It doesn’t necessarily have to look exactly the same. The top is what matters.
Just wanted to say thanks for the walkthrough! )
Welcome. 🙂
I got it and have now finished the game 🙂 I think my BF is glad to have me back in the real world again 😉 Thanks for the walkthrough – and for all the others you have made
Haha. Glad to help! 🙂
Hello, I am stuck in the Ferris Mueller game talking to Alice. I gave her the breakfast once, but then it didn’t return an I am stuck talking to her. Is this a bug?
It might be. Someone else mentioned that problem. I’m not sure if they ever managed to get around it.
I finally figured out that you have to tap the actual words (they then turn red) in the dialogue before the next part of the dialogue can continue.
The apparent repetition is intentional. Feed her breakfast for several days, engage in polite conversation, and you will eventually get a different result (enabling you to move forward).
how do i do the tree stump puzzle do you use 2 hands to do it i cant do it its pissing me off
Yeah you need to use three separate fingers, but don’t think of it as a puzzle to solve. The dial and switches won’t stay in place. The idea is to just see which arrow lights up so you know which cave to enter.
I’m also stuck at the tree stump. No mater what I do on the puzzle or which path I take the cave is blocked. Starting to get pissed off too. HELP!!!!
@Mary, see my earlier comment about following the map exactly from the very beginning. If you try to pick up the trail midway, the cave door won’t open.
Hi. Thanks for the walkthrough. I can’t understand the penta puzzle on the floor of the chapel.
I have the chalkboard photo, but I can’t see the connection, or how to set the pointers.
Grateful for your help.
Rick
The dots represent the dots on the chalkboard. You move the pointers/arrows just by tapping them.
@Rick : I was stucked on this one too.
You must look at the numbers of dots of each shape on the chalkboard.
If the shape with 3 dots points at the shape with 5 dots (I don’t have the pic, it’s just an example), then, on he Chapel pentagon, the 3 dots arrow must point at the 5 dots arrow.
@AppUnwrapper : thanks a lot for this walkthrough, it helped me three times 🙂
Great series of game. Nearly the same quality as the “1112” series.
Glad to help! 🙂
I still haven’t played 1112. I started once and didn’t get pulled in. Maybe I should give it another go sometime.
1112 is awesome but a bit slow to start. And the first episode is clearly less interesting than the others.
You should definitely give it another try if you liked Forever Lost ! 🙂
I have so many games I’ll probably never have time to play, but will keep that on my list! 🙂
Finished it now. A great game. Thank you again for the walkthrough and your help.
Glad to help! 🙂
How do you get the ladder I have looked everywhere and I can’t seem to find it in your walk through either
Hmm I’ll double check but it should be in there. You climb up it fairly early on.
I figured it out. Not sure how i missed that one.. It was kinda obvious.
You’re not the only one. 😉
Where on earth is the ladder, I’ve spent so much time looking for it..??
If you want just a hint, you climbed up it once. Near the beginning of the game.
In the house near forest.
TOO FREAKY! I loved it! But now I need to know what would have happened if I’d taken the other pill! I have goosebumps with this conclusion of the game. I’ve waited patiently (ok, maybe not patiently!) for Episode 3 to come out. And it didn’t disappoint.
🙂
They’re pretty similar. But the ending does leave some questions!
I think you are “supposed” to take the blue. In episode 1, written on the wall of the solitary confinement room, it says “why oh why didn’t I take the blue pill.”
Did it really?! OMG I missed that.
It’s the same ending for each pill.
Yeah, what exactly happens if you take the red pill? (the walkthrough shows what happens when you take the blue one) What is different?
They’re very similar. I think I tried both, but now I can’t remember.
Maybe I actually took the pill! 😛
Blue –> collapsed, then wake up at the last room….like repeating the cycles scientist-rat again maybe on another episodes….LOL…
Red –> collapsed, heard ur wife voice….then full black out…..bye – bye
I hear her voice with blue, too.
I just cannot retrieve the ladder from the first part for the wall jump. I think I’ve tried everything but it just keeps taking me up the ladder.
Help please.
Not sure why you need to pick it up again…?
I was trying to pick up wrong ladders. Then I remembered the ladders in the cabin.
Ahh ok. I thought you were trying to get the ladder back after placing it down.
How do you find the lantern?
It’s in the cave.
Sussed it out too
🙂
Great walkthrough! I may have a glitch (lol) or I may have missed something but I can’t get the metal vent to open so I can finish the game! The number four handle thingy is missing. I’ve looked everywhere. Could this be a glitch? Should I delete then reload the app? Thank you
It’s missing? That’s really odd. Are you sure it’s not in your bag?
Yes…I checked and double checked. I guess I’ll have to delete the app and re-download…..which means playing the game again….which will be great!!….
unless I run into the same issue….
I would suggest also reporting it to the devs so they know about it!
I’m missing the #3 lever ! Ughhh. I don’t wanna star over! Did you ever find it?
I haven’t heard of this problem before. I just emailed to developers to see if they’re aware of it.
Thank you! Love your site.
Ok, so Graham said the best thing for you to do would be to export your save file from the menu and email it to them. (let me know if you can’t figure out how)
No
Ok, so Graham said the best thing for you to do would be to export your save file from the menu and email it to them. (let me know if you can’t figure out how)
I deleted then re-added the game and it worked perfectly!
I Can’t Find The Latern & I Restarted Two Times 🙁
Why did you restart? You mean the lantern is missing? Like a bug?
Yeah , I Don’t Know Where You’re Suppose To Get It From
You don’t pick it up. It’s just use in the cave to light up the room.
Hey sorry I can’t find the token for getting the paper..where did i miss?
Found it????
I still can’t find the token for the paper puzzle, can you please give me a hint or just tell me?
You can check the calendar in the room
I can’t find the ladder where is it? I checked the whole chapters couldn’t find it
Hi, thank you very much for the walkthrough it had been a huge help! I just cant seem to find the square puzzle for the puzzle in the childs room! Can someone help me to locate it? I got the three other puzzle. 🙂
I think that’s the first puzzle piece you find, but I’ll double-check.
It’s in the postbox near the contaminated fountain
Hey your full guides were amazing and i picked red one what would happen if i picked up blue one?
What will happen if you take the red pill I’m at the part where you choose to take the pills and I don’t know what to Choose! What if it’s a trick!!
Somehow I missed getting the film. Where can I find it? Thanks!
Never mind, I found my mistake.
Hi there! I started the game yesterday and I”m in the Ferris Muelers game and can’t get back out! I think I somehow jumped further into the game than I was supposed to? I can’t figure out how to back out of the video game to the video game room and it feels like I”m learning parts of the story that are supposed to be at the end? Would the game allow you to move ahead before you were supposed to? and how can I get out of the video game? I talked to Alice and the hotel manager and got the wall safe figured out and talked to Hugo, but I”ve not done much else in the game. Help!
Hi, I actually separated the Ferris Mueller game into its own walkthrough. Hopefully it’ll help you with the part you’re stuck on: https://www.appunwrapper.com/2015/07/09/forever-lost-episode-3-ferris-mueller-game-walkthrough/
I have been stuck on the long green code to the door in the manor. I think its supposed to be the theater door?
Did you get all the numbers from the Glitch soap?
List the sins you are having trouble on got the code plus this walkthrough will help
I am having rouble with the window pane puzzle in the cabin at the the top of the ladder I put the sequence in but nothing happens can you help me
Make sure that the symbols are in the correct spaces by comparing them to the clues on both the left and the right window panes.
I love this game and your walk through helps a lot because no matter how many times I play I still can’t figure out the concept of the puzzle in the chapel which is also like the puzzle in the first one in one of the patient rooms
Think about the number of dots in each symbol on the playroom chalkboard. How would you duplicate the sequence on the chalkboard with the arrows In the chapel?
Y I can’t get in the kitchen?help…
You don’t need to get into the kitchen.
Hi, I am so happy that you made a walkthrough! Unfortunately I am stuck talking to Alice in the Ferris Mueller game. There is no breakfast to give to her. So I keep talking and talking… I can’t back out of the game either. Please help!
That happened to me the first time, too. Just keep talking to her and check your bar cuz the breakfast will show up again there. Eventually you’ll get to leave her room
Thanks for your quick response Gi! I must have spoken to her about 50 times now and no food appears… I’m losing motivation now as you must understand 😉
You definitely can’t interact with anything else yet? That might be a bug.
No, it keeps saying that I must speak to Alice first. I’ve even tried to give her invisible breakfast ?
Yeah that sounds like a bug.
You should email Glitch Games.
I did have to delete and restart once due to one of the handles not being there (at a different place in the game) so it might be a bug and you’ll have to do that. But try talking to her and looking for the breakfast a few more times! I got really tired of her…
Hello, I have this problem too. Did you ever get around it? Any advice?
Did you ever get around this?
Keep talking to her. And check your suitcase of stuff because the breakfast is probably in there. I thought it would never end but once I found the breakfast again and talked to her what seemed like a million times I finally got thru. Talking to Alice became really tedious.
We’re the handles to open the vent something that I should have picked up along the way? If so, where? I have all the gems, just can’t get the vent open to finish. I really don’t want to delete, reload, and replay, I’ve spent way too much time on this game as it is, lol.
The handles are in that room. Everything you need for that puzzle is in that room.
Behind the three doors? They are locked, and nothing seems to unlock them. Thanks for your help!
You have to open the doors from the other room. There are two red buttons.
Got it! I missed a step, lol.
🙂
Just finished the game and thanks for the walkthrough… a big help. Some of the puzzles are way over my head. The ending (after taking blue pill) is a nice touch. Jason forgets everything again and the whole thing restarts all over again… from the same spot.
Just dawn on me why the title is called Forever Lost because of the cycle starting all over again.
🙂
I can’t find the ladder! Anyone help me please, i’m desparete!
You climbed up it fairly early in the game. 😉
I cannot get the cave door to open… I have gone the ‘correct’ way half a dozen times now- I followed the map twice, then used the path given in the hints twice, and followed what you have here twice, all of which were *exactly the same path*, but I keep getting the closed cave door at the end… What am I missing????
@Hannah, see my earlier post about following the exact trail from the very beginning of your map.
I can’t get the flippen cave open either and I have followed the path about 100 times. What gives? Getting pissed off!! Cave never opens !!
I. Can’t get the fuel. There are 6 thumbtacks positions, and only 5 on the puzzle…
You need to find the 6th.
I can’t find it anywhere….
Where is the sixth thumbtack please?
I believe it was inside the robot in the asylum.
Getting very frustrated…there is no robot in the forest area I am in. I an trying to get the lantern fuel so I can refuel the jeep. The wooden puzzle has only 5 thumbtacks????
The lantern fuel is not for the jeep. You’ll need that later. You got the jeep fuel in the room with the thumbtack board.
Duh…I get it now….I thought the gas can was empty…lol..I am such a dummy…
😉
I have followed the map correctly and chosen the right path to the cave but it wont open? It says something about a flag when i click hint on the game?
If you haven’t already gotten it, the flag in the bedroom of the old asylum. It’s red with a black arrow, and framed on the wall, so you need to smash the glass to get to it (with the crowbar or the wrench).
Then, just follow the map until you reach the flagpole and use the flag on it.
Stuck talking to Alice in the Ferris Mueller game and can’t do anything else!
You’ve probably already figured this out… But, just keep talking to Alice and bringing her breakfast (on the side table), and on the 4th morning, she’ll tell you something different.
I’m stuck. I’m in the Ferris Muller game. I have done every puzzle, opened every drawer and safe, I’ve reviewed the walk through to see if I’ve missed anything, nothing. My game isn’t allowing me to speak to Hugo. I tried talking to the man at the front counter again, but my ID card is gone now. Does anyone know how to get around this?
According to Glitch Games, “If they go to the Options – Save Games menu they can export their save data and send it to us, we can patch and send it back.”
I only can find one baby monitor where can i find the other one?
I have tried to place the window blind over the window that says “HUGO” but I am unable to line up the 2 lines on the right hand side. I have tried to delete the app and re-install in (on a MacBookPro). The blind is always a little bit higher than the mark on the right side. Anyone else have this problem?
Hey I can’t find the film. In the first run I played but never finished I found it by that cabin but you need a key and now I don’t seem to have it. Where would I find it???
I can’t find the yellow star puzzle piece. Can you please give me a hint?
Thanks but I found it. Love the walk through.
Glad you found it! 🙂
Finished the game. Great series. I think I’ll do it again.
🙂
How do I do the tile puzzle in the Elysium Forest
I can’t get the floor trap door/light puzzle to work. I hung the blind over the light panel and took all 4 photos. I have copied the light pattern (even tried doing all the lights in each photo at once but none of the four latches unlock? hELP! I even started over thinking it was a glitch but still stuck. What am I missing? When I see the walk through, the light pattern is different than the one in my game (are they all different?). Thanks!
There are 4 different light sequences. Make sure you are lined up correctly with the line in the wall and watch. The lights will change. Take a picture of each one.
I did that, took all four pictures. I have done the exact duplicate of the wall/light patterns (lighting them up indigodually and trying to light each sequence at once ) but nothing happens? Will each latch open automatically or will I have to do something? I tried tapping and double clicking the latches but still nothing. Is each game a different light sequences? The walkthrough one looks different than mine, but I even deleted and started a new game and got the same 4 sequences.
You have to enter one light sequence at a time. Each light sequence should open one latch. Make sure you are lined up correctly on the wall.
I somehow missed the line to line up the blind-I am an idiot-Thanks! Trying it now
Somebody please help me find the ladder so I can get over the wall with razor wire. Thank you!
@Lisa, see my post above on the ladder. You can’t take the ladder from the cabin where you begin the game.
It is in the cabin in the main room. You use it to get up on the upper floor.
A belated thank you for the great walk through and your follow up moderation of players’ questions. AppUnwrapper has become my go-to guide for iPad gaming assistance!
Glad to help! 🙂
P.S. I just added “tangible” support by becoming a Patron through the Patreon link above. This is the first time I used Patreon, and I like the approach: supporters sign up for a regular monthly contribution via
PayPal of any amount starting at $1, and obviously the contribution can be changed or stopped at any time. The extras that you offer your Patrons are cool (other developers will particularly appreciate them). I wanted to highlight this for your many other fans. ?
Thanks so much for the support! 🙂
Your comment actually made me realize that I needed to edit some of my Patreon rewards because I actually want to discourage developers from donating with expectations of a positive review in exchange.
So I used the star key on the mailbox. Got the letter but no package with film-where is the film or is that a glitch?
Never mind-literally just realized the mistake
Help! I can’t leave the ferris mueller game. Right after speaking to the manager, i don’t know where to find the bar.. And the ID is not with me anymore..
You mention putting the mirror on the floor to change the path of the laser I assume, but I never picked up a mirror. Am I missing something?
I’ve the same issue!
The mirror is the one you used in the bathroom, use the screwdriver again.
I cannot find the yellow star puzzle piece that goes in the child’s play room at the asylum. Please help. Thanks in advance! ?
How do I solve the fuel puzzle? I’m lost! I found the place but don’t know where to turn the circles….
Appreciate the help!
Help! I’ve put 5 of the gems in the diamond in the wrong order and now they wont come out. Also where is the 6th gem? Have I missed summat?
I play these games late at night when I can’t sleep. Which means my cognitive reasoning skills are sometimes sub-par! Your walk through made the game entirely joyful! It was great being able to do all I could think to do and when I was totally “lost” , have an escape out of my head (through use of your walk through) to get a clear picture! I know of at least two puzzles I may have never solved (or have died trying!) had it not been for your walk through! Also, I had a glitch where my internet went down and my magnifying glass just disappeared out of my briefcase, and had I not had access to YOUR observations I would have had to redo the whole game, and instead I was able to continue on. THANKS AGAIN!!
I’m stuck on the levers. I accidentally put #3 in too soon and now I can’t get them in order. Help!
If I remember correctly, they should reset if you get it wrong.
Where exactly are the “little numbers below” with which to advance to the next page of this walkthrough? There are none that I can find.
They’re right below the share buttons, above the comments section.
How do I ge t the lighter
Put the Viking Magnet to the 6 King cards
How do you get the ladder?!!
The ladder is from the cabin in the forest
I could kiss you! Been googling for ages to find that information!
hi im just wondering what order the water bottles are in the old asylum please
I also want to know how to get the ladder? Where did I miss that?
Can’t find the ladder as well…
Where is it?
its in the forest’s cabin(the house besides the car parked)… it took me some time to figure it out its a ladder that can be move…
Where is star-shaped key for the mail box in the Esylum forest???
Put gas in the jeep and travel to the asylum area and explore
I mean to the manor house
It’s in the magician’s hat
How do you find/where is the star-shaped key to open the mailbox in Esylum Forest??? Please help!!!
Where to find the mirror??? Please reply fast
Help! I don’t have a lantern! How do you get it?
Why can’t I find the umbrella? It just doesn’t appear wher it should.
So the tree trunk puzzle for the caves….I am playing this game on an Android phone don’t know if that makes a difference. It is impossible to pull the two levers and turn the dial at the same time to make the symbol of the eye. I can do two at once but not three. It will simply not respond once I try the third dial or lever. Help???!
I am in Alice’s room and have given her breakfast once….the next morning there is no tray to serve her so I am stuck. For me this is almost the the last chapter I am working on, help!
Keep giving it to her. I think after the 3rd time, the game will move on
I am sooo confused. The room with the chair with numbers and the doors with the bars – they are locked and I cant access to solve the puzzle. What did I do wrong?
the numbers on the chairs are telling you the order they are supposed to go. Like, some bars may lock but you yourself have to keep playing with it. There is no #6 so after 5 you should be good
I cant get the cave to open!! I have tried multiple times the correct way but it doesn’t want to budge. someone help
Hi; I have not seen how to get star shape key from the beginning of walkthrough and I can’t open mail box.
I can’t find the wooden dial in the old asylum for the puzzle in the shed
Aaargh, super frustrated. I’m in the room with the red chair, the three rooms, and the numbered levers. Every time I pick up a lever – any lever, regardless of the number – all the horizontal metal bits holding down the levers lock, and I can’t move the lever to any other rooms. What am I missing?
My game is broken on the too with the levers when I place lever 4 on an empty slot nothing else unlocks. When I go back.to the room with lever 4 it’s still there watched YouTube and definitely not working. 🙁 https://imgur.com/a/ANJldsK u can see in ss I have lever in my inventory but lever 4 is also in the background in the slot. Since I can’t do this I can’t unlock secret room underneath and forever lost lol
I can’t find the vitamin C and I need it to move on.
Wait just a minute. Does the game end differently depending on which pill you take?
I can’t get the milk bottle key. The far right bottle doesn’t make a note it just clicks. Am I supposed to use the bottle by the key box as one of the bottles as this does make a note…?
Why can’t I see all the items I have picked up? `is there a way to do this?
So from a story perspective….whaaaat? So Jason clearly is repeating all of this over and over, the red pill seems to kill him, the blue pill erases his memory so it all starts again….but whose voices are those?? Is Alice real?? Did any of the stuff on the tape really happen, or has Jason been a patient in an experiment from day one and never really a doctor at all?? Y’all help me understand 😂
Alice won’t go to sleep
Hiya! I have lost my crowbar somewhere. Any ideas on where to look?
Where did you find the ladder?????
Where did you find the 4th key? I have three of them but I don’t know where the 4th is? Where is each found
