Block Out level guide
Block Out Level 87 Walkthrough
Block Out Level 87 is a flood-drain puzzle with a heavy boss piece. Cyan `7` counter blocks fill the lower two-thirds of the board like a lake, while a green `15` boss block in an orange frame sits on the far left. A packed strip of colored blocks (orange, green `9`, red, blue, yellow) runs across the top and must clear first. Feed the green `15` boss through the left-wall exit, remove the small `3` counter blocks wedged between the cyan pieces, then let the cyan flood drain through the bottom.

How to Solve Block Out Level 87 — Full Solution
- Slide the small orange block in the top-left upward through the top-exit arrow to open the first gap (02:55 in the video).
- Push the yellow block on the right end of the top strip through the right-wall exit (02:50).
- Clear the red block through the top exit, then begin feeding the green `9` block upward — it needs nine passes (02:44–02:34).
- Route the blue block through the right-wall exit once the green `9` block has thinned enough to free the lane.
- With the top strip clear, begin feeding the green `15` boss block through the left-wall exit — keep this lane permanently unblocked (02:28–02:13).
- Clear the small red `3` and green `3` blocks wedged between the cyan `7` pieces to ungate the drain path (around 02:18).
- Let the cyan `7` flood drain through the bottom exits once the wedge blocks are gone (02:13–02:02).
- Finish with the last cyan fragments after the green `15` boss has fully exited (01:57).
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Green, Red, Blue, Orange, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Letting a stray block drift into the left-wall lane while feeding the green `15` boss — it stalls the longest feed in the level and forces you to waste moves re-clearing the lane.
- Trying to drain the cyan `7` flood before removing the red `3` and green `3` wedge blocks — they dam the bottom exits and the flood cannot pass.
Quick Tips for Block Out Level 87 (spoiler-free)
- Start feeding the green `15` boss the moment the top strip clears — fifteen passes takes time and the lane must stay open.
- Remove the red `3` and green `3` wedge blocks before trying to drain the cyan `7` flood.
- The cyan flood drains on its own through the bottom exits once the wedge blocks are gone — do not try to push it.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The board splits into three layers. Top layer: a packed strip two rows tall running left to right — small orange block, green block with counter `9`, red block, blue block, yellow block. An up-exit arrow on the top edge and a right-exit arrow on the upper right wall. Middle layer: a large green block with counter `15` in an orange frame on the far left (the boss piece), multiple cyan blocks with counter `7` filling the center and right, and small red `3` and green `3` blocks wedged between the cyan pieces. A left-exit arrow on the left wall. Lower layer: more cyan `7` blocks continuing downward to fill the bottom half. Down-exit arrows on the bottom edge and a right-exit arrow on the lower right wall.
- Goal
- The green `15` boss block needs fifteen passes through the left-wall exit — it is the heaviest piece in the 80–90 range. The cyan `7` blocks form a flood that drains through the bottom exits, but the small `3` counter blocks wedged between them must be removed first or they block the drain path.
- Opening
- Start with the top strip: slide the small orange block upward through the top exit, push the yellow block right through the right-wall exit, and clear the red block upward (02:55–02:44). This exposes the green `9` block — begin feeding it upward through the top exit (nine passes). Route the blue block right.
- Danger Zone
- At 02:28 the top strip is clear and the green `15` boss needs a sustained feed lane through the left-wall exit. If any piece drifts into this lane, the boss stalls mid-feed. At 02:18 the small red `3` and green `3` blocks must be removed before the cyan flood can drain — leaving them in place dams the bottom exits.
- Mechanics
- A flood-drain puzzle with a heavy boss. The cyan `7` blocks act as a lake that drains only through the bottom exits once the boss piece and wedge blocks clear. The green `15` boss is the single most demanding piece — fifteen uninterrupted passes with a permanently clear left lane. The `3` counter wedge blocks between the cyan pieces are drainage gates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the large green block with counter `15` in Block Out Level 87?
It is a boss piece in an orange frame on the far left of the board. It needs fifteen passes through the left-wall exit and is the heaviest single piece in the 80–90 level range.
Why won't the cyan blocks drain in Level 87?
Small red `3` and green `3` counter blocks are wedged between the cyan `7` pieces. They block the drain path to the bottom exits. Remove them first, and the cyan flood will drain on its own.
