Beads Out level guide
Beads Out Level 288 Walkthrough
Level 288 opens with gray at 50%, dark blue at 0%, green at 50%, and one empty slot beneath a crossed hourglass. Below them sit blue and olive/green key boxes, capacities 650/200/450/300, twin wooden 7 stacks, locks, mysteries, and curtain 10, so the empty fourth slot must survive the first gated handoff.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 288 — Full Solution
- Continue gray 50%, dark blue 0%, and green 50% through the opening lower-hourglass bands, preserving the empty fourth slot for the next visible color.
- Complete the blue key box when the blue band reaches the lower crossover, releasing its blue lock route.
- Work the first wooden 7 stack through its visible stages and take each exposed receiver only when usable.
- Reduce the 450 and 300 capacity cells while the opposite hourglass lobe rotates down.
- Complete the olive/green key box on its matching band, then clear the associated lock.
- Advance the second wooden 7 stack and leave the fourth slot empty for the adjacent mystery reveal.
- Count the red curtain from 10 through its final stages with the newly released colors.
- Finish the remaining pink, cyan, red, brown, orange, and feeder-tail receivers after every lock is open.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 288 (quick clues)
- Complete the blue key before occupying the olive/green key slot unless both matching bands are already low in the hourglass.
- Keep one slot free when either wooden 7 stack or a mystery cell is about to reveal a box.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A crossed hourglass feeds one outlet. Gray 50%, dark blue 0%, and green 50% occupy three opening slots while the fourth is empty. The reserve contains capacities 650/200/450/300, blue and olive/green key boxes, twin wooden 7 stacks, colored locks, black mystery cells, and a red curtain marked 10.
- Goal
- Reduce the visible capacities, complete both color-matched keys, clear the twin wooden 7 stacks and locks, then count the curtain to 0.
- Opening
- Continue gray from 50%, dark blue from 0%, and green from 50%; keep the fourth slot empty until the next lower-hourglass color is visible instead of parking either key box.
- Danger Zone
- A long capacity receiver plus both keys can occupy three slots while a mystery cell reveals an unprepared color.
- Mechanics
- Four descending capacities, two distinct keys, twin wooden 7 stacks, locks, mystery cells, and a ten-count curtain form a chained reserve.

How many wooden 7 stacks are on the board?
Two; advance them separately so each newly exposed box has an available slot.
