Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Tall notched board with blue and red gates on the right, edge strips 2/3/7, a chained red center marked 5, adjacent room 4, five red/yellow key blocks, and a red outlined six-cell area on the left.
- Goal
- Collect five keys, free the central red square, and then open the 4 room without merging blue-gate and red-gate traffic at the lower-right bend.
- Opening
- Clear the upper yellow L and green/purple rows, send blue right, and collect the two upper red keys before moving lower yellow keys.
- Danger Zone
- A long purple or green block across the lower-right bend traps the yellow keys and closes the red gate lane.
- Mechanics
- Five visible key blocks remove a central chain counter; an adjacent four-count room remains a separate second stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many keys release the chain in Level 287?
Five keys: two red key blocks in the upper half and three yellow key blocks across the lower half.
