Level 317 Board Overview: Surprise Bag Center Trap

The verified walkthrough identifies the opening board as Surprise Bag Center Trap. The first confirmed moves are: Open by aiming solely at the visible pink and green stones near the tray’s lower edge, feeding the green by the lower-right and the pink by the lower-left into their matching head receivers. Then: Give the orange, white, and cyan stones on the bottom line a wide berth for now, since dropping them early eats into your midgame maneuvering room. The next safe order is recorded below so the belt does not fill with bait.
The Trap in Marble Sort Level 317
- Opening bait: After the opener receivers clear, remove the yellow stone that rests flush against the right violet arrow to wake it, then remove the cyan stone beside the left violet arrow.
- Board order: Those drops reveal the blue pipes below, so pull from above them and guide the colors they spit straight into your fresh lower receivers.
- Belt discipline: Use only the first verified clears here; do not spend belt space on a color without an active receiver.
Marble Sort Level 317 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Opening: follow the safe first clears

- Open by aiming solely at the visible pink and green stones near the tray’s lower edge, feeding the green by the lower-right and the pink by the lower-left into their matching head receivers.
- Give the orange, white, and cyan stones on the bottom line a wide berth for now, since dropping them early eats into your midgame maneuvering room.
- After the opener receivers clear, remove the yellow stone that rests flush against the right violet arrow to wake it, then remove the cyan stone beside the left violet arrow.
Midgame: open the next receiver path
After the opening clears, let the next exposed groups move only when their receiver is ready.
- Those drops reveal the blue pipes below, so pull from above them and guide the colors they spit straight into your fresh lower receivers.
- As the pipes drain, a big surge of yellow and green rushes out, so steer it gently to dodge a belt block in the closing stretch.
- With the flanks done, grab the green stones resting over the lower yellow arrows and send the two yellow arrows to the belt, which opens the center column’s base.
Cleanup: finish the remaining sequence
The final phase follows the remaining source order. Pause whenever the belt starts to fill.
- Only now tap the three grey surprise bags, since your lower receivers are mostly cycled and the belt sits perfectly empty.
- Whatever colors the bags drop, hold them in the freed belt space, place them into the last open receivers, and close out the leftover matches to win.
