How to Solve Block Out Level 398 — Full Solution
- Send cyan/blue through the left gate, yellow through the roof, and perimeter red, green, and purple through direct sides.

- Keep long red and green groups off center while reducing the lower 13-count cover.
- From the lower reveal, take direct cyan and green side groups plus yellow pieces facing open routes.
- Remove the long red bridge spanning the two gridded bays before moving an outlined shape.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A stepped multicolor roof field surrounds six cyan segments marked 3 above full-width six-count and 13-count covers with pale-blue side and floor counters.
- Goal
- Remove the cyan column, open both covers from top to bottom, then extract the outlined feet from separate lower bays.
- Opening
- Take cyan/blue left, yellow upward, and perimeter red, green, and purple through direct gates to reduce the segmented column.
- Danger Zone
- A long red or green piece across center blocks both sides; in the lower reveal the red bridge traps the cyan and blue outlined feet in their bays.
- Mechanics
- Six numbered cyan segments precede two stacked counter chambers, with the final release split into two gridded bottom bays.

Use direct roof and side exits to count down the six cyan segments before opening the two large chambers.
Why do the lower outlined shapes get stuck?
