Block Out Level 261 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 261 links a top 4 counter, a sealed chamber marked 6, and bottom strips marked 9 and 13. Raise the yellow center bar before moving red, peel both exposed side clusters, then clear the hidden lower layer after the chamber disappears.

How to Solve Block Out Level 261 — Full Solution
- Lift the yellow vertical bar from lower center into the open top-center lane.
- Slide the exposed green row from the right across the middle and out through the left green gate.
- Remove the lower-left yellow group and adjacent blue block while the center remains open.
- Peel the exposed right red and yellow rows, then shift the red vertical bar after its side lane is free.
- Alternate the remaining left blue/yellow stack with the right green/red stack until the top 4 strip and large 6 chamber reach zero.
- After the chamber disappears, clear the newly revealed green and red pieces to free the lower-middle lane.
- Send the long blue horizontal block left through that lane.
- Lower the yellow vertical bar toward the bottom exit while keeping red away from its route.
- Remove the final red L-shaped piece and the remaining yellow groups on the right to finish both bottom strips.
Colors in this level:
Red, Yellow, Blue, Green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dropping red into the center before yellow rises and losing the board's only transfer lane.
- Assuming the level is over when the 6 chamber vanishes instead of clearing the hidden lower layer.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 261 (quick clues)
- Keep the one-cell center lane empty until the yellow bar has risen and the exposed side rows are reduced.
- The disappearing 6 chamber is a reveal, not the win; expect a hidden red, green, yellow, and blue layer underneath.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Tall rectangular board with a green left gate, red and yellow vertical center bars, blue/yellow blocks on the left, green/red/yellow rows on the right, a top strip marked 4, a large lower chamber marked 6, and bottom strips marked 9 and 13.
- Goal
- Reduce the exposed counter layers without sealing the center, open the 6 chamber, then route the revealed lower pieces through the newly available exits.
- Opening
- Raise the yellow center bar, route the exposed right green row toward the left gate, and peel the lower-left yellow and blue blocks before shifting the red center bar.
- Danger Zone
- Moving the red vertical bar across the center too early blocks yellow's upward route and closes the only transfer lane between the two side clusters.
- Mechanics
- A three-counter, two-stage board whose large 6 chamber conceals a second set of blocks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should the yellow center bar move before the red one?
Yellow needs the top-center lane while it is open. Red parked across that lane blocks both the upward route and the side-to-side transfer path.
What happens when the chamber marked 6 reaches zero?
The chamber disappears and reveals another red, green, yellow, and blue arrangement that must still be routed out.
