Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 406 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 406 hides a full field of oversized L pieces behind a seven-count upper chamber, so the compact opening tray must be cleared without sacrificing the central lanes needed for the much larger second wave.

How to Solve Block Out Level 406 — Full Solution
- Clear the exposed cyan and yellow pieces from the compact lower tray through their available edge gates.
- Send the purple-marked piece toward the left purple gate, then remove small green and red blocks to reduce the upper counter.
- Finish the cyan five-count bar and orange two-count cover while preserving the lower-middle route.
- When the seven-count lid opens, remove the aligned yellow and purple bars on the right and shift the central cyan bends into the released space.
- Send accessible green pieces left, then reposition the red upper-left L and large blue bends without spanning the center.
- Clear the lower purple and green L pieces so the right red gate can accept the red horizontal and vertical bars.
- Route the large blue bends toward the ice-counted exits, then send the remaining red pieces through the right red gate.
- Finish the lower slotted red bar and last blue pieces as the top ice counter reaches zero.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Yellow, Purple, Green, Red, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating the first compact tray as the whole level and filling the central parking cells before the upper chamber opens.
- Leaving a long blue or red piece across the middle after the second wave appears.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 406 (quick clues)
- Keep the lower-middle cells empty during the first wave; the last counter pieces need that lane.
- After the chamber opens, move every oversized bend through the center and out rather than using the center as storage.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A timed board begins with a sealed seven-count chamber above a tight lower tray containing orange and cyan counter bars, a slotted yellow bar, and compact red, green, blue, yellow, and purple pieces. Opening the chamber releases large bent and long blocks across the full board.
- Goal
- Exhaust the opening counters, release the upper field, then clear the oversized cyan, red, green, purple, and yellow shapes through the changing edge gates before time expires.
- Opening
- Take the exposed cyan and yellow pieces first, route the purple-marked piece left, and clear small green/red groups while reducing the cyan five-count and orange two-count covers.
- Danger Zone
- A long cyan bend or red L left across the second wave's middle blocks both the green exit on the left and the red/yellow exits on the right.
- Mechanics
- A seven-count chamber converts a compact first wave into a full-board second wave while top and side ice counters continue dropping across both phases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the seven-count chamber do in Block Out Level 406?
It seals the larger second wave. Clear the compact lower tray and its counters first, and the chamber opens onto oversized L-shaped and long blocks.
Why do the large pieces jam after the chamber opens?
The left and right gates share the same middle transit lanes, so a cyan bend or red L parked there cuts off multiple colors at once.
