Changed States

Hi.  I'm working in Storyline 1.  I'm a newbie and I've had to teach myself so be  gentle! :)

I've created a game; here's how it works. 

• The learner clicks on a mystery box in layer 1 and is branched to a question (layer 2). 
• If the learner selects correct answer, he/she is taken to correct answer response (layer 3).  The learner then clicks on a 'Return to Game' button.
• The learner ends up back at the game board.  I've also set it up so the mystery box goes to a completed state (grayed out and back on layer 1). 

Here's the problem, I've got several boxes.  The completed state works on a couple of them; not the rest.  I've checked to make sure that everything (variables, triggers, trigger sequence) are set up the same.

I've also had this same problem when setting up state changes on a base layer. 

Help!  What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
