Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 196 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 196 is a side-arm maze built around one narrow vertical corridor. Peel the outer purple, green, yellow, and orange arms first, shift cyan down the empty center while its lower turn is free, and only then lower the tall red center block so the two tall pieces never lock between the maze arms.

How to Solve Block Out Level 196 — Full Solution
- Remove the long green bar from the upper-right arm of the maze.
- Clear the purple bar across the upper-left arm to expose the first bend.
- Send the yellow bar out from the left-middle arm, then remove orange from the lower-right arm.
- Clear the short blue block beside the central cyan piece.
- Shift cyan down the shared vertical corridor while its lower turn is empty.
- Lower the tall red center block only after cyan reaches the lower arm.
- Peel the remaining green bar from the right arm and the leftover bar from the left arm.
- Remove the last cyan and red scraps from the center bends.
- Clear the final purple and green pair along the floor.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Green, Cyan, Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking any side bar in the center corridor and sealing both maze arms.
- Lowering red before cyan has finished its downward pass.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 196 (quick clues)
- Never park any side-arm bar in the center corridor—one scrap seals both maze arms at once.
- Let cyan finish its full downward pass before red drops; red across the corridor traps cyan between the arms.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Irregular maze board with horizontal purple, green, cyan, red, yellow, blue, and orange bars stacked around a dense red and cyan center; symmetric side arms bend into one shared vertical corridor.
- Goal
- Empty the side arms, separate the tall center cyan and red pieces through the vertical corridor, then clear the remaining arm scraps and floor pair.
- Opening
- Remove the long green bar from the upper-right arm, clear purple across the upper-left arm, send yellow out from the left-middle arm, and take orange from the lower-right before touching the center.
- Danger Zone
- Parking red across the center traps cyan between the two maze arms with no turn cell. Any side bar left in the corridor has the same effect.
- Mechanics
- A symmetric side-arm maze that forces every long block through one narrow central vertical lane.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the vertical corridor exclusive space?
Both maze arms only connect through that one corridor. Any parked side bar freezes left and right traffic together.
What traps cyan between the arms?
Lowering red before cyan completes its downward route. Red covers cyan's turn cell and leaves no alternate path.
