Level 245 Board Overview: The Unlock Chain

Level 245 opens as a packed seven-column tray stacked to the brim, and almost everything on it is part of one long unlock chain. At the top center sits a golden ring tile — a required clear target. Directly below it, a 2-charge metal box blocks the middle of the grid, and just under that, a chained lock banded in gold and grey chains seals a full row of the center (columns 3-5). Nothing in the middle moves until that sequence is broken.
The colors are spread thin across the tray. The top row runs Orange, Green, Light Pink, Green, Blue, Blue around the ring; the left column stacks Blue, Yellow, Green, Yellow, Purple; the right edge carries Blue, Light Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Purple. The bottom of the grid is a conveyor track, and the lower section below it holds the receivers: textured Orange, Purple, Blue, Red, and Yellow blocks are visible from the first frame, while a row of grey ’?’ mystery tiles hides the rest of the boxes behind them.
The whole level is a chain of unlocks, so the play order is fixed: clear the Golden Ring to earn the key, use the key on the locked Yellow box, and break the metal box to open the center columns. Every color whose receiver sits behind a ’?’ tile or a chain is bait until its box cycles forward.
The Trap in Marble Sort Level 245
The tray is rigged to make you feed colors before their boxes exist. Here is the layout:
- The Golden Ring gates the key: the ring tile at top center is the level’s clear target, and it drops the key that unlocks the Yellow box. You cannot skip it, but clearing it with the wrong tiles stuffs the belt with colors that have nowhere to go.
- The 2-charge metal box needs two hits: the metal box at the center eats two matches before it breaks, so half-clearing it strands the tiles stacked on top of it.
- The chained lock seals the middle: the gold-and-grey chain band across the center traps everything above it until the chains snap. Tiles on the far side are unreachable until you work around both sides.
- Mystery ’?’ tiles hide the receivers: the lower section runs a row of ’?’ tiles, and the boxes behind them decide which colors are playable. Feed blind and you jam the belt.
- Light Pink, Light Blue, and Dark Purple are bait: none of them has a visible receiver at the start. The tray is full of them, and chasing them early is the fastest way to stall.
Marble Sort Level 245 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Follow the unlock order and the tray falls apart in layers.
Opening: feed the visible receivers

- Start with Orange. It sits at the top-left corner, down the left side, and on the right edge, and the Orange receiver block waits in the lower section — feed every Orange you can reach.
- Feed the Blues next. Blues run along the top row and down the left column, and the Blue receiver is visible below.
- Tap the Red marble on the right edge and the Yellow marbles on the left and right into their visible receivers.
- Work the tiles around the Golden Ring — the Light Pink and Green flanking it match nothing yet, so only touch them when a nearby drop forces the ring’s reveal.
- Do not commit Light Pink, Light Blue, or Dark Purple. Their receivers hide behind the ’?’ tiles, so every one you park on the belt is a slot you cannot use.
Midgame: break the center open
Once the visible receivers start clearing, the middle of the tray becomes the focus.
- Take down the 2-charge metal box in one push: clear the tiles around it, then match through it twice. This opens the central columns.
- Snap the chained lock across the middle. Match tiles against the chains from both sides — once the band breaks, the tiles stacked above it finally drop.
- Clear the Golden Ring to release the key tile, then drop the key onto the locked Yellow box to open it.
- Feed the Yellow stack that was trapped behind the lock — the locked box turns Yellow playable for the first time.
- When the Red box slides to the front of the lower conveyor, feed the Reds dropping through the curved tunnel on the right side. Red becomes the active box at this stage.
- Watch the belt for the Green batch queued behind Red — three Greens ride together, so hold them until the Green box comes to the front, then clear them in one pass.
Cleanup: cycle the belt to the finish
With the center open, the level becomes a conveyor game.
- Keep the belt moving: tap a queued marble only when its box is front and center. Red, Green, Pink, Purple, and Yellow cycle in that order.
- Clear the remaining ’?’ mystery tiles in the lower section as their colors come up — each reveal brings a new box into play.
- Play only the active front-row color from here on. The last singles drop one at a time, and the tray empties as each box fills.
- The final frame catches the level still in progress: the grid down to a handful of scattered singles, the shooter loaded, and a long queue of Blues, Pinks, Reds, Purples, Yellows, and Greens waiting on the belt. Keep feeding the front-row color and let the queue pull the stragglers down.

Level 245 Tips Recap
- The level is an unlock chain: Golden Ring drops the key, the key opens the locked Yellow box, and the metal box gates the center — always work in that order.
- Only feed colors with a visible receiver. Orange, Blue, Red, and Yellow open the level; Light Pink, Light Blue, and Dark Purple are bait until the ’?’ tiles reveal their boxes.
- Half-clearing the 2-charge metal box strands everything above it — commit to breaking it in one push.
- In the endgame, stop thinking about the tray and play the belt: tap only the color whose box is front and center, and the queue finishes the level for you.
