Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 27 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 27 is a pocket-release boss puzzle. Empty the right cavity first, start lowering the left `7` boss second, and only then clean up the late green, red, and yellow strips.
Board Notes
- Layout
- A tall framed purple boss marked `7` dominates the left side, while a compact right cavity holds white and black blockers. Small counters tick down the left edge before the board reveals late green, red, and yellow strips.
- Goal
- Open the right pocket so the left boss finally has room to collapse.
- Opening
- The right cavity is the only real opener. The left boss stays parked while the pocket is still packed.
- Danger Zone
- Trying to lower the `7` boss before the cavity is empty makes the whole board feel dead.
- Mechanics
- Level 27 is a side-pocket puzzle where a tiny room controls a much larger boss.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 27 (spoiler-free)
- The right pocket opens the left boss.
- The late color strips are post-boss cleanup.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
How to Solve Block Out Level 27 — Full Solution
- Empty the right white-and-black cavity first.
- Lower the left-side counters while the boss is still intact.
- Start shrinking the framed `7` panel only after the side pocket is clear.
- Use the newly opened space to rotate the late green and red strips.
- Bring the yellow strip in only after the boss is already below mid-count.
- Clear the side exits once the boss is nearly gone.
- Finish with the last color strips after the framed panel has collapsed.
Colors in this level:
Purple, White, Black, Green, Red, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring the right cavity and pulling on the left boss too early.
- Treating the late color strips as the opening phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the actual key in Block Out Level 27?
The right cavity is the key. Once it is empty, the left `7` boss finally has a real route.
When do the late colors matter in Level 27?
After the boss has already started collapsing. They are not the opening puzzle.
