Block Out Level 403 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 403 is a three-wave timed board hidden behind shutters marked 8 and 12: clear the narrow exposed strip, solve the red/green middle wave, then use the open center for oversized green, blue, and cyan polyominoes.

How to Solve Block Out Level 403 — Full Solution
- Clear the exposed purple/yellow pieces on the right, the framed cyan/purple bar, and the small bottom red/green/blue groups.
- Preserve the bottom-center route while the lower shutter marked 8 falls to zero; keep the red L away from the left gate.
- In the first revealed field, remove outer red and blue bars before passing the green rectangles and red L shapes through the center.
- Continue clearing that wave until the upper shutter marked 12 retracts and the full-height board appears.
- Take the final layer's outer red/yellow groups, then the blue pieces on the right and green pieces on the left/bottom.
- Use the empty middle to extract the large green squares and L shapes before moving the cyan L and long cyan edge bars.
- Finish the upper-right yellow/blue pair and remaining cyan pieces, then verify the PERFECT Level 403 result.
Colors in this level:
Blue, Cyan, Green, Yellow, Red, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking a red L across the left exit while the first revealed wave still needs that counter lane.
- Trying to route the final cyan L around the board before the oversized green pieces have cleared the middle.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 403 (quick clues)
- Finish every visible band before planning moves for the layer behind its shutter.
- On the last wave, empty the large green center shapes before aligning the cyan L pieces.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A 2:00 rectangle begins under two purple shutters. The upper panel is marked 12 with side counters 22/29; the lower is marked 8 with counters 9/16. A compact exposed strip contains blue, yellow, red, green, purple, cyan, and one framed horizontal bar.
- Goal
- Count the lower shutter to zero, clear the first revealed layer to remove the upper shutter, and then empty the final full-board field through the left, right, and bottom gates.
- Opening
- Take the exposed right purple/yellow groups, remove the framed center bar, and work the small red, green, and blue rectangles outward while leaving bottom-center open.
- Danger Zone
- A red L across the left gate or a long blue block down the right wall stalls the middle wave; in the final field, moving cyan L pieces before the large green mass leaves closes the shared center.
- Mechanics
- Two stacked shutters marked 8 and 12 reveal separate waves, ending with oversized green, blue, cyan, and yellow polyominoes across the full rectangle.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many layers are in Block Out Level 403?
There are three playable waves: the opening strip, the field behind the 8-count shutter, and the full board behind the 12-count shutter.
Does the 12-count shutter open with the 8-count shutter?
No. Reaching zero on 8 exposes a separate red/green/blue wave; exits from that wave are what finish the 12-count shutter.
