How to Solve Block Out Level 561 — Full Solution
- Clear the accessible blue and red starter squares through their side gates, then send the two orange pieces through the bottom orange gate to open the orange 2-shutter.
- Use the left opening to remove the red stack, orange field, and purple square, then lower the pink-green L so the pink double-arrow block can leave.
- Open red 3 and purple 2, then clear the marked red, green, yellow, and cyan columns from right to left to reduce both chain counters.
- In the expanded upper board, remove the long blue and cyan bars and clear the red, green, yellow, and cyan marked rectangles so the two chain counters can fall.
- Once the chained yellow and blue bars release, remove them from the central bridge and turn the outlined blue-purple L through the open junction.
- After the bridge bars leave, clear the cyan side block, yellow bar, red outlined L, and remaining upper marked pieces while the bottom junction stays empty.
- Send the tall pink vertical block upward through the top pink gate, opening the lower-left approach for the shaped pieces.
- Turn the green L left through the green gate, then slide the orange L down through the bottom orange gate.
- Bring the remaining purple J/L into the cleared bottom lane and send it through the bottom purple gate for the empty-board finish.
Colors in this level:

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Parking an outlined L across the center before the marked pieces release both chained bars.
- Sending the purple J/L down before the pink vertical, green L, and orange L have used the shared lower junction.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 561 (quick clues)
- Keep the large pink double-arrow block low until the orange, red, and purple shutters have opened.
- After the chains break, turn only one outlined L through the center at a time.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Orange 2, red 3, and purple 2 shutters cover the upper board, with a long top counter beginning at 10. The lower pocket holds mixed rectangles, two nested L shapes, and a large pink double-arrow block beside green, orange, purple, and red exits.
- Goal
- Open the colored chambers with matching exits, clear the marked red, green, yellow, and cyan pieces to release two chained horizontal bars, then route every large L through the expanded center.
- Opening
- Clear the reachable blue and red squares, then send both orange starter pieces through the bottom orange gate to open the upper-left orange shutter.
- Danger Zone
- The outlined orange-red and blue-purple L pieces share the center turning bay; after the chains release, dropping the purple J/L into the bottom junction before pink, green, and orange have exited blocks the real finishing cascade.
- Mechanics
- Four staged shutter/counter reveals lead into marked key pieces and two stacked chain bars; the video clears the board without a booster.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I clear first in Block Out Level 561?
Clear the reachable blue and red squares, then make two orange exits to open the orange 2-shutter and gain the first large pocket of space.
Why do the L-shaped blocks jam Level 561?
The outlined L pieces all need the same central turning bay, which remains constrained until the marked pieces release the two chained bars.
