Beads Out level guide
Beads Out Level 201 Walkthrough
Level 201 drains a nested double-U through one outlet above a reserve crossed by a chained yellow lock. Cycle gray, purple, red, and pink first, preserve one active slot for the alternating inner-U colors, and complete the yellow key-with-box on a yellow run to free the center boxes beneath the chain.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 201 — Full Solution
- Activate gray and purple for the first outlet-facing groups, then add red when the right-hand red segment reaches the lower bend.
- Bring in hot pink only after purple makes room, followed by green for the next outer-U pass.
- Cycle cyan, navy, and purple through the row as their inner-U groups descend, never filling the fourth slot with a color still high on the track.
- Clear the cream/white and orange runs, leaving the accessible yellow key box in place until yellow is directly above the outlet.
- Send and fill the yellow key-with-box to release the horizontal chain and free the two center boxes beneath it.
- Finish those center boxes and the remaining red, brown, green, pink, cream, lime, and yellow boxes in outlet order until both U tracks are empty.
Colors in this level:
Gray, Purple, Red, Pink, Green, Cyan, Blue, Yellow, Orange, White, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Preloading navy while gray, green, red, and pink already occupy the row, which uses all four slots before navy reaches the outlet.
- Sending the yellow key box during a non-yellow run, leaving it parked in the active row and delaying the chain release.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 201 (quick clues)
- Keep one slot empty until the yellow key has completed, because the inner and outer U runs alternate faster than a late receiver can leave.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A nested double-U pipe has an outer green-purple-pink left bend and yellow-orange-red right bend around an inner U of yellow, white, orange, green, red, and blue. Four active slots sit over a reserve crossed by a chained yellow center lock; the accessible yellow key box sits in the lower region while the chain blocks the two center boxes directly beneath it.
- Goal
- Thin both U-shaped tracks while cycling matching receivers through the four-slot row, then fill the yellow key box to drop the chain and reach the two center boxes beneath it.
- Opening
- Send gray and purple for the first outlet groups, add red for the right-hand red strip, and wait for one receiver to leave before bringing in hot pink and green.
- Danger Zone
- Gray, green, red, and pink can occupy all four slots near the first minute. Selecting navy or purple before one completes blocks the receiver needed by the next inner-U segment.
- Mechanics
- The lower reserve is released by completing a yellow key-with-box as a normal receiver; the center padlock is not clicked directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the center lock open in Beads Out Level 201?
Send the yellow key-with-box when a yellow segment is at the outlet and let it fill normally; its completion drops the chain over the two center boxes.
Why should one active slot stay empty?
The nested U alternates outer- and inner-track colors, so the free slot is needed for the next arriving color while a long-lived box is still filling.
