Beads Out level guide
Beads Out Level 290 Walkthrough
Level 290 starts purple at 0% and red at 15% beneath two question-mark arms; orange and yellow enter only after those active receivers begin clearing. The reserve pairs a red lock with green, a blue lock with cyan, a blue key with gray, and a red key with brown beside capacity 235 and mystery cells.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 290 — Full Solution
- Build purple from 0% and continue red from 15%; bring in orange and yellow afterward as their oval bands reach the outlet.
- Complete gray when its band arrives; its blue key releases the blue lock attached to cyan.
- Use cyan only after that blue lock opens, continuing the matching oval segment.
- Complete brown on its outlet band; its red key releases the red lock attached to green.
- Bring in green after the red lock opens rather than parking it during the earlier rotations.
- Reduce the 235 capacity receiver as its matching beads descend from the arms.
- Wait for each black mystery cell to reveal, then select the matching box with the reserved slot.
- Finish the remaining purple, pink, red, and feeder-tail bands after both lock routes are clear.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Red, Yellow, Orange, White, Blue, Cyan, Green, Gray, Brown, Pink
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pairing the red key with red or the blue key with blue instead of following the devices attached to green/cyan and gray/brown.
- Guessing a mystery color while all four slots are occupied.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 290 (quick clues)
- Remember the cross-color mapping: gray carries the blue key for cyan, while brown carries the red key for green.
- Keep one slot empty while reducing 235 because the adjacent mystery cell can reveal the next required receiver.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two black question-mark arms enter a small oval. Purple 0% and red 15% are already active; orange and yellow remain in reserve for later bands. Below them sit a red lock on green, blue lock on cyan, blue key on gray, red key on brown, capacity 235, and black mystery cells.
- Goal
- Clear the oval, use gray's blue key and brown's red key to open the matching cyan and green lock routes, reduce 235, and answer each mystery reveal.
- Opening
- Continue the already-active purple 0% and red 15% receivers; add orange and then yellow only when their oval bands reach the outlet, preserving room for the first key color.
- Danger Zone
- Selecting locked green or cyan as if they were immediately usable, or holding both key boxes before their bands arrive, leaves no slot for a question-mark reveal.
- Mechanics
- Cross-color pairs define the gates: red lock→green, blue lock→cyan, blue key→gray, and red key→brown; capacity 235 and mystery cells share the same reserve chain.
