Beads Out Level 202 Walkthrough
Level 202 squeezes a broad hourglass through one narrow throat while three orange curtain cells fall from 10 and two side curtains begin at 3. Clear the first pink/olive/green cycle, use the yellow key on its matching run, and reserve a slot for every curtain reveal.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 202 — Full Solution
- Send pink, then olive and dark green as the lower loop rotates those groups into the outlet.
- Add blue for the next throat run and wait for one opening receiver to leave before advancing the orange curtains from 10 to 5.
- Match red, pink, and blue from the revealed row while the curtain values continue through 4 and 3.
- Fill the yellow key-with-box during a yellow outlet run to release the central yellow, orange, and dark-green row.
- Cycle red, white, green, pink, and purple while the orange curtains reach 2 and open.
- Count the left and right side curtains down from 3 one reveal at a time, then clear olive, brown, gray, pink, yellow, green, and purple.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Olive, Green, Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, White, Purple, Gray, Brown, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Opening a curtain with all four slots occupied, which exposes a required color that cannot enter the active row.
- Preloading purple while the early pink, olive, green, and blue receivers are still active, even though purple remains high in the upper bowl.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 202 (quick clues)
- Check that one active slot is empty before any curtain number changes.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A broad upper loop pinches into a small lower hourglass loop above the outlet. The deep reserve contains olive, navy, pink, gray, brown, cyan, green, purple, red, and blue boxes, three orange-curtained cells marked 10, a locked yellow/orange/dark-green row, and a bottom pink/orange/purple chamber between side curtains marked 3.
- Goal
- Drain both hourglass bowls, reduce the orange curtain group, complete the yellow key box to release the central chain, and count both side curtains down without flooding the four active slots.
- Opening
- Start pink for the magenta strip at the lower outlet, then olive and dark green for the adjacent runs; add blue only when its strip reaches the pinched throat.
- Danger Zone
- A curtain reveal adds another required color immediately. Holding pink, olive, green, and blue when a numbered cell opens leaves no active slot for the exposed red, orange, or purple box.
- Mechanics
- Three orange curtains visibly progress 10 to 5 to 4 to 3 to 2, a yellow key box opens the central chain, and two independent lower side curtains begin at 3.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the orange numbers mean in Level 202?
They are curtain progress values visible on three reserve cells; they step from 10 toward 2 as fills advance and are not a move limit.
When should the yellow key box be used?
Complete it only when yellow is passing the outlet and at least one other active slot is free, so the central reveal does not jam the row.
