Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 174 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 174 packs an upper color field above four orange-framed marked compartments—two large horizontal rooms below and two narrow vertical rooms on the right. Drain the upper field, process the right chambers while their vertical lane stays clear, and preserve the central crossing for the late orange and purple pieces.

How to Solve Block Out Level 174 — Full Solution
- Clear the exposed upper yellow and green groups through their top and left routes.
- Remove the right red blocks and left cyan pieces to open both outer rails.
- Process the two narrow right compartments while their vertical lane remains clear.
- Reduce and open the upper of the two large lower compartments before the bottom one.
- Route the revealed blue and cyan vertical pieces out without occupying the center crossing.
- Send the orange horizontal piece across the center, then clear the purple block behind it.
- Empty the final lower compartment and remove the last green and red scraps.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Green, Red, Cyan, Blue, Orange, Purple, White
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dropping cyan into the center before orange has crossed the right route.
- Opening the bottom lower compartment while the upper lower chamber still dumps into the center.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 174 (quick clues)
- Treat the right edge as a permanent service lane until both narrow compartments are gone—do not park cyan there early.
- Reduce the upper of the two large lower compartments before the bottom one so dumps do not stack in the center.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Rectangle with a packed upper color field; four orange-framed marked compartments (two large horizontal chambers below, two narrow vertical chambers on the right); white numbered rails on the outer edges; green and purple gates left, red gates right, and blue or yellow routes on top and bottom.
- Goal
- Clear the exposed upper field while reducing all four marked compartments, route each revealed pack without blocking the right-side vertical lane, and finish through the center crossing.
- Opening
- Remove the upper yellow and green groups first, followed by exposed red and cyan pieces, and keep the right lane open while the narrow marked compartments shrink.
- Danger Zone
- Late orange and purple horizontal pieces share the center with a cyan vertical piece. Moving cyan down too soon seals the right route used by the orange block.
- Mechanics
- Four independently changing marked compartments reveal playable space in stages and compete for one right-side service lane and one center crossing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why process the narrow right chambers before the large lower rooms?
The right edge is the service lane for later orange/purple crossings. Narrow rooms that stay closed keep dumping sideways into that lane.
What freezes the late orange piece?
Cyan dropped into the center before orange finishes the right route. Orange, purple, and cyan all share that crossing.
