How to Solve Block Out Level 396 — Full Solution
- Remove exposed purple and orange on the left, then send upper-right red and green through their matching edge gates.
- Clear yellow rows and reachable blue/cyan around the cyan 11 counter to open the wide six-count chamber.
- Empty direct red, green, yellow, and blue groups from the revealed lower field before shifting either central L-shape.
- Route the orange L toward orange exits, then move the purple L left after its side lane opens.
- Send long cyan and blue pieces through the right and bottom counters while draining red left and green right.
- Clear the remaining red square and orange L-shaped groups to reserve the lower-right lane for cyan.
- Take the cyan cross and last blue pieces, reducing the black lock panel to its final state.
- Release the yellow T beneath the panel and send it through the open yellow route for BLOCK OUT.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Sending the cyan cross toward the floor before the orange finishers have cleared.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 396 (quick clues)
- Move the orange and purple L-shapes on separate passes through the center.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A tall stepped board places a dense upper field above a wide six-count cover, with a cyan 11 counter under a black four-count panel and counted gates around the sides and floor.
- Goal
- Open the wide chamber, preserve the central junction for two L-shapes, and clear the cyan cross before releasing the final yellow T.
- Opening
- Take exposed purple and orange on the left, red and green from the upper right, then yellow and blue/cyan rows that already face their gates.
- Danger Zone
- Parking the orange L or purple L across center traps the cyan cross; moving the cross too early also seals the remaining orange floor route.
- Mechanics
- A six-count chamber, multiple edge counters, and a black four-count lock panel reveal a second inventory and a final yellow T in stages.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main bottleneck in Block Out Level 396?
The orange L, purple L, and cyan cross all need the central junction, so they must be routed one at a time.
What comes out of the top lock panel?
After its count is reduced, the panel releases a yellow T-shaped group for the final clear.
