Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Full-width purple panels marked 8 and 5 cover the upper board. The exposed floor holds mixed groups and a chained red lock, while a thick wall bends the lower-right route into a narrow S-shaped corridor.
- Goal
- Open 5 then 8, complete the visible key/lock state changes, clear the corridor, and send the 2-by-2 green anchor square through the bottom gate before 1:45 expires.
- Opening
- Remove the cyan/yellow floor groups and purple outlined bar, then clear reachable green, orange, and blue pieces to retract the 5-count panel.
- Danger Zone
- A long purple or blue row in the S-corridor traps the orange square and blocks the giant green anchor's only path to the floor.
- Mechanics
- Sequential shutters reveal key-marked blocks around a chained lock, followed by a 2-by-2 anchor-marked connected square.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which shutter opens first in Block Out Level 438?
Clear the exposed floor to open the middle panel marked 5; its reveal then supplies the pieces that reduce the upper panel marked 8.
Why is the green anchor saved for last?
Its 2-by-2 footprint needs a completely open descent to the bottom green gate and cannot turn inside the lower-right S-corridor.
