Beads Out level guide
Beads Out Level 1 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 1 teaches the outlet order with a simple upright loop. Blue opens the lane first, red and yellow clear the top half, and green finishes the lower-right bend once the middle slots are free.
Board Notes
- Layout
- The board opens as a slim vertical loop with yellow on the upper-left arc, red on the upper-right arc, blue down the left side, and green around the lower-right bend beside the outlet. The four boxes below form a small cross: red on the left, blue in the upper middle, yellow on the right, and green in the lower pocket.
- Goal
- The real target is to keep the outlet lane clean enough for each color to take its turn. Blue is the first release, then the upper red and yellow strips drain, and green closes the board from the bottom.
- Opening
- Start by sliding the blue box under the outlet. Once the left-side blue clears, swap to red, then yellow, and only raise green from the lower pocket after the upper colors are done.
- Danger Zone
- Yellow looks close to the outlet, but parking it there before red blocks the cleaner handoff through the middle lane.
- Mechanics
- Level 1 introduces the main Beads Out flow: one outlet, one active catch box, and a short loop that must be drained in the order the colors physically reach the bottom lip.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 1 (spoiler-free)
- Use the top-middle slot as a passing lane instead of leaving one box parked there for too long.
- With 4 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
- If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
How to Solve Beads Out Level 1 — Full Solution
- Move the blue box under the outlet first and drain the blue strip running down the left side of the loop.
- Swap to the red box as soon as blue clears because the upper-right red arc reaches the outlet next.
- Slide the yellow box into place after red and catch the yellow beads arriving from the lower-left side.
- Bring the green box up from the lower pocket once yellow is done so the lower-right green bend can empty cleanly.
- Let the last yellow and green beads finish feeding out before moving the final box away.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking yellow at the outlet before the red section has been drained.
- Pulling the green box out of the lower pocket too early and blocking the center handoff.
Frequently Asked Questions
What box do you move first in Beads Out Level 1?
Start with the blue box. The left-side blue strip is the first color that can drain without blocking the rest of the loop.
When should green be used in Level 1?
Use green last, after red and yellow have already cleared the upper half of the loop.
