Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two upper arms feed a rounded-square loop and one outlet. A tapered reserve ends at a red curtained chamber marked 5, with circular-arrow boxes beside it and a green/navy pair held below.
- Goal
- Complete five matched release stages, retract the red curtain at 0, and clear the newly available lower pair in the last loop cycle.
- Opening
- Activate purple and pink, add gray/olive, then use orange only after the first short pink receiver leaves.
- Danger Zone
- Green and navy are late curtain rewards. Holding slots for them while purple, pink, and gray are active prevents peach, yellow, or cyan from entering and stops the release chain.
- Mechanics
- A central red curtain visibly advances from 5 through 4, 3, 2, and 1 to 0, exposing green and navy boxes below it.
