How to Solve Block Out Level 343 — Full Solution
- Send the exposed cyan group through the upper blue/cyan route to open the top-left pocket.
- Clear yellow and pink through the right-side gates, then take the red group through the top red gate.
- Remove the cyan and purple blocks along the shutter edge until the 10-count cover retracts.
- On the revealed board, clear the upper cyan/purple groups and the green/yellow bars on the right.
- Cash the yellow bonus at video 1:02; the visible +5s changes the game clock from 1:35 to 1:39.
- Peel the pieces around the lower-left red and lower-right cyan bonuses while the dark-blue L stays outside the center shaft.
- Route exposed pink and green pieces to their side gates, then preserve a path for the purple bonus and tall purple column.
- At video 2:29, send the red bonus through the top red gate and watch the game clock rise from 0:13 to 0:17.
- Cash the purple and cyan bonuses during the next second; their combined ten seconds raise 0:17 to 0:26.
- Use the added time to clear the remaining cyan bars through the right gate and the final pink L through the bottom gate.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Blue, Purple, Pink, Yellow, Red, Green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking the dark-blue L piece in the center shaft before the lower bonus blocks have crossed it.
- Ignoring the time added by the circular 5-plus badges and failing to preserve their gate routes.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 343 (quick clues)
- Do not stop a long piece in the center shaft; enter only when its matching gate is already reachable.
- Cash the yellow +5-second block early, but save the other three bonuses for the final long-piece cleanup.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The opening tray holds blue, cyan, pink, yellow, red, and purple pieces above a huge purple shutter marked 10, with blue/red top gates, pink/green/yellow right gates, white edge counters, and a purple side device starting at 7. The hidden second board contains purple, yellow, red, and cyan blocks carrying circular +5-second badges.
- Goal
- Clear the tray to retract the 10 shutter, then cash all four time bonuses and route the second board's long cyan, purple, blue, red, yellow, green, and pink pieces through the edge gates before time expires.
- Opening
- Remove cyan through the upper route, take yellow and pink through the right gates, send red upward, and clear the purple/cyan strip resting on the shutter.
- Danger Zone
- The full-height center shaft is the only transfer lane in the hidden board. Early parking by the dark-blue L piece or tall purple right column blocks the red, cyan, yellow, and purple +5-second blocks behind them.
- Mechanics
- A 10-count shutter conceals four +5-second bonus blocks. The yellow bonus visibly changes 1:35 to 1:39; late red, purple, and cyan bonuses change 0:13 to 0:17 and then 0:17 to 0:26.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after the 10 shutter opens in Block Out Level 343?
A full-height second board appears with four +5-second bonus blocks, long cyan and purple pieces, and blue/pink L shapes that share one center shaft.
Which space must remain open on the hidden board?
The vertical center shaft. Every long or L-shaped piece needs it as a transfer lane, so none should be parked there.
