Level 316 Board Overview: Arrow Box and Surprise Bag Trap

The verified walkthrough identifies the opening board as Arrow Box and Surprise Bag Trap. The first confirmed moves are: Open by taking the exposed green block down at the tray’s lower-left plus the other one at its lower-right, feeding both into the green receiver that heads lane one. Then: Take the exposed dark block in the second lane and drop it fast so the green receiver lurking directly behind it is revealed. The next safe order is recorded below so the belt does not fill with bait.
The Trap in Marble Sort Level 316
- Opening bait: Push the orange block that sits low in the third lane over to the far-right orange receiver, a required move since it exposes the cyan arrow box hanging just above it.
- Board order: Chase down the leftover green and dark pieces along the rim to fully clear the first two receivers, steering clear of the upper violet and deep-blue decoys.
- Belt discipline: Use only the first verified clears here; do not spend belt space on a color without an active receiver.
Marble Sort Level 316 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Opening: follow the safe first clears

- Open by taking the exposed green block down at the tray’s lower-left plus the other one at its lower-right, feeding both into the green receiver that heads lane one.
- Take the exposed dark block in the second lane and drop it fast so the green receiver lurking directly behind it is revealed.
- Push the orange block that sits low in the third lane over to the far-right orange receiver, a required move since it exposes the cyan arrow box hanging just above it.
Midgame: open the next receiver path
After the opening clears, let the next exposed groups move only when their receiver is ready.
- Chase down the leftover green and dark pieces along the rim to fully clear the first two receivers, steering clear of the upper violet and deep-blue decoys.
- After those openers clear, the piles swing over to deep-blue, green, and yellow, so aim at the stones hugging the central blue present and drop two neighbors to burst it.
- Crack your first Surprise Bag only when the Conveyor Belt is at least half empty, and if it spits out Pink or Purple, immediately route them into open bottom Boxes.
Cleanup: finish the remaining sequence
The final phase follows the remaining source order. Pause whenever the belt starts to fill.
- Clear the targets the yellow arrow and cyan arrow face, then pull the unlocked arrows to feed the cyan stones into the third lane’s cyan receiver and kick off the big vertical shift.
- In the late game, peel the remaining Surprise Bags and clear their junk instantly, never holding more than two mismatched marbles, finish the isolated Orange and Yellow on the top edges, and let the deep Pink and Purple clears cascade to the win.
