Color Block Jam Level 181 Walkthrough

Level Layout Overview

Grid Style: Compact rectangular board with layered cages

Key Features:

• Two cages stacked vertically in the center
• Several keys scattered across the top and bottom
• Merge goal: 15 at the bottom center
• Tight block clusters and narrow lanes
• Side arrows and sliders on all four edges for tile refreshing

Main Objectives

• Collect all keys to unlock the upper cage and then the lower cage
• Clear both chained tiles to open the board
• Solve the merge goal (15) before the 1:50 timer runs out

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Start by clearing lower keys first on both sides. Focus on matching purple, blue, and orange tiles to quickly collect the bottom keys.

Step 2: Move to the upper keys next. Clear surrounding green, teal, and purple tiles to collect the top-row keys.

Step 3: Once all top keys are collected, unlock the upper cage immediately and clear the tile behind it to access the lower cage.

Step 4: Collect the remaining keys near the bottom to unlock the lower cage that blocks the 15-merge tile.

Step 5: Clear the lower cage, then quickly reduce the 15-merge goal to zero using adjacent block matches.

Step 6: Use side arrows and sliders frequently to refresh the board and bring in backup tiles.

Key Challenges in Level 181

• Dual cages require multi-layered unlocking
• Merge goal is blocked until both cages are cleared
• Tight lanes can easily trap essential tiles if sliders are not managed carefully

Quick Tips & Strategies

• Collect bottom keys first to open slider lanes early.
• Keep slider lanes and side arrows open at all times to avoid board lock.
• Prioritize unlocking the upper cage fast – it’s the key to reaching the lower cage.
• Use the unlocked sliders to reposition blocks quickly and clear tight spaces.
• Balance clearing between both sides to avoid overloading one lane.
