Beads Out level guide
Beads Out Level 200 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 200 centers on two gray padlock keys mounted on the side walls of a tall storage chamber. A forked U-tube shell feeds a wide horizontal donut that drains through a single center spout into a 1x4 cycling target row and a 4-column colored cube stack, but the stack stays locked behind those gray padlocks until the target row climbs to 50% on at least two boxes. Strip both arms, walk the donut through the spout to charge the target pads, then crack the padlocks in order to release the cube stack for the final cleanup.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 200 — Full Solution
- Clear the pink-white-green-red cluster off the left arm of the forked U-tube and let the donut's first white-pink-red-green group settle at the spout.
- Strip the white-blue-cyan-dark blue-purple cluster off the right arm and let the next blue-cyan-dark blue group fall into the storage, lifting the green 30% target box toward 50%.
- Walk the donut one group at a time through the spout, pushing the second and third white target boxes from 0% toward 50% while the gray padlock keys stay locked on the side walls.
- Crack the left gray padlock key once at least two of the four target boxes have reached 50%, partially freeing the 4-column cube stack.
- Crack the right gray padlock key to fully release the cube stack, then rotate the donut so the late gray, dark green, brown, and orange singles drop in small groups.
- Match each late color group to the next target color the 1x4 row still needs while the freed cube stack drains into the open storage.
- Finish by spending the green `+1` box or the blue `+1` box booster on the very last gray, dark green, or brown singles that the cube stack refuses to release on its own.
Colors in this level:
Pink, White, Green, Red, Blue, Cyan, Dark blue, Purple, Gray, Yellow, Brown, Orange, Dark green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Stripping the white-blue-cyan-dark blue-purple right arm before the pink-white-green-red left arm is clear, which sends two non-matching colors through the spout at the same time and pins the 4-column stack against the still-locked gray padlocks.
- Cracking both gray padlock keys before the 1x4 target row has reached 50% on at least two of the four boxes, which unloads the cube stack into a target row that is not ready to receive it.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 200 (spoiler-free)
- A common trap is cracking both gray padlock keys before the 1x4 target row has climbed to 50% on at least two boxes. Wait for the green and first white targets to charge before unlocking the cube stack.
- With 13 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The shell is a forked U-tube with two long vertical arms: a pink-white-green-red left arm and a white-blue-cyan-dark blue-purple right arm that both curve into a wide horizontal donut ring of mixed segments (white, pink, red, green, gray, white, blue, yellow). The reserve is a tall storage chamber with a 1x4 cycling target row at the top (green 30%, white 0%, white 0%, white 0% in the opening frame), a 4-column colored cube stack (blue, pink, red, gray, purple, white, green, cyan), two gray padlock keys mounted on the lower side walls, and three circular booster buttons along the very bottom edge (green `+1` box stamped 2, pink character stamped 2, blue `+1` box stamped 2). Score reads 1053.
- Goal
- Drain the forked U-tube into the donut, then rotate the donut one group at a time through the spout so the four target boxes at the top of the storage climb from 30% or 0% toward 50%.
- Opening
- Pull the pink-white-green-red cluster off the left arm, strip the white-blue-cyan-dark blue-purple cluster off the right arm, and let the donut's first white-pink-red-green group drop through the spout into the storage while the 1x4 target row and the two gray padlock keys stay closed.
- Danger Zone
- The spout, the 4-column cube stack, and the two gray padlocks all share one narrow vertical column, so the target row stalls on a single chip and the storage overflows behind the still-locked gray keys if the donut collapses before its white gaps have separated the next two non-matching colors at the spout.
- Mechanics
- Level 200 is a dual-padlock timing board: the two gray keys on the side walls gate the 4-column cube stack and only become useful once the 1x4 cycling target row has charged to 50% on at least two pads, so the puzzle is pacing the forked U-tube and donut drain to charge the targets without flooding the locked storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the donut start feeding the spout in Beads Out Level 200?
After the pink-white-green-red cluster on the left arm and the white-blue-cyan-dark blue-purple cluster on the right arm have both been stripped, so the donut's first white-pink-red-green group arrives at the spout without a second color stacked behind it.
Why is the bottom of the storage still locked after the forked U-tube is empty in Level 200?
Because the two gray padlock keys are tied to the lower side walls of the storage, and they only become useful once the 1x4 target row has climbed to 50% on at least two of the four boxes.
