Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 1 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 1 is a three-square rotation puzzle. Move black left, lift white into the upper-right corner, slide red aside, and then let white, black, and red leave in that order.
Board Notes
- Layout
- The board is a compact square with a red gate on the top wall, a white gate on the left wall, and a black gate near the bottom-right edge. The black square starts in the upper-right, white sits mid-right, and red begins in the lower-left pocket.
- Goal
- Open the left column so black can drop, then rotate white and red around the freed lane until each square reaches its own exit.
- Opening
- Slide black left first, then lift white into the upper-right corner before moving red. Those two setup moves create the drop lane for the black square.
- Danger Zone
- Pushing red toward the top gate too early blocks white from crossing the top row and stops black from reaching the bottom lane.
- Mechanics
- Level 1 teaches the basic Block Out rhythm: park one piece, drop the next piece, then cash out the rotated pieces one by one.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 1 (spoiler-free)
- Use the upper-right corner as white's parking space.
- Do not send red upward until white has already crossed left.
- If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
How to Solve Block Out Level 1 — Full Solution
- Slide the black square left so it sits directly under the red top gate.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to raise the red square before the white square has crossed the top row.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first move in Block Out Level 1?
Start by sliding the black square left. That frees the upper-right corner so the white square can move up next.
When should the red square leave in Level 1?
Red is the last exit. Wait until white has used the left gate and black has already dropped to the bottom lane.
