Level 296 Board Overview: Triple Gift Box Trap

The verified walkthrough identifies the opening board as Triple Gift Box Trap. The first confirmed moves are: Open at the tray’s far-right edge, sending the cyan block down so it lands in a head-row cyan receiver, which lines up neatly with the third lane’s front green receiver. Then: Reach to the second column from the left and drop it into the rightmost orange receiver below, then keep the yellow block at the head-center perfectly still. The next safe order is recorded below so the belt does not fill with bait.
The Trap in Marble Sort Level 296
- Opening bait: Notice the bait traps: the center Yellow and far-left Brown blocks in the Top Tray have no active bottom Boxes yet, so pulling them would burn belt space.
- Board order: After the orange block flips to purple, the green flips to pink, and the far-right cyan exposes the first grey hidden box, make clearing the pair of cyan receivers on the left your top priority.
- Belt discipline: Use only the first verified clears here; do not spend belt space on a color without an active receiver.
Marble Sort Level 296 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Opening: follow the safe first clears

- Open at the tray’s far-right edge, sending the cyan block down so it lands in a head-row cyan receiver, which lines up neatly with the third lane’s front green receiver.
- Reach to the second column from the left and drop it into the rightmost orange receiver below, then keep the yellow block at the head-center perfectly still.
- Notice the bait traps: the center Yellow and far-left Brown blocks in the Top Tray have no active bottom Boxes yet, so pulling them would burn belt space.
Midgame: open the next receiver path
After the opening clears, let the next exposed groups move only when their receiver is ready.
- After the orange block flips to purple, the green flips to pink, and the far-right cyan exposes the first grey hidden box, make clearing the pair of cyan receivers on the left your top priority.
- When the cyan receivers are gone and the two brown targets rise into place, grab the bait brown block at the far left and empty the front brown receiver.
- Begin stripping the board’s left and right flanks, keeping the central hidden-box column and the middle yellow block sitting idle for as long as you can.
Cleanup: finish the remaining sequence
The final phase follows the remaining source order. Pause whenever the belt starts to fill.
- As you clear up the side columns, the outer Gift Boxes activate and drop three new blocks, so sort those into the remaining Pink, Brown, and Green boxes and keep the belt empty before each pop.
- Send the yellow block the moment a yellow receiver appears from the rear, then work down the central hidden-box line one at a time, pop the topmost middle present last, and clean up the blocks it drops to win.
