Color Block Jam Level 57 - Keys, Locks, and Numbered Blocks
Level 57 of Color Block Jam mixes things up with a locked orange block, two keys, and a numbered blue block. You’ll need to slide purple, green, blue, and red blocks to their gates while collecting keys to unlock the orange block and managing Blue’s "4" counter. It’s a fun challenge—let’s break it down!

Level Stats:
- Difficulty: 4/10 – Keys and numbered block add strategy.
- Moves to Win: 7 (check the steps below).
- Special Mechanic: Locked orange block needs both keys; Blue’s "4" counter requires extra moves.
The Challenges:
- Locked Orange Block: It’s stuck until you collect both keys, blocking the top row.
- Key Collection: You’ll need to position blocks to grab each key without getting stuck.
- Numbered Blue Block: Blue’s "4" counter means extra moves to reduce it before fully clearing.
- Tight Paths: The layout’s walls limit your moves, so plan carefully.
How to Win – Your 7-Move Plan
Let’s unlock the orange block and get all blocks to their gates! Follow these steps:
- Purple Up 2 → (Row 1, Columns 1-2) → Purple grabs Key 1 at (row 3, column 1) and hits the Purple Gate at (row 1, column 1). One key down!
- Green Up 2 → (Row 1, Columns 4-5) → Green grabs Key 2 at (row 3, column 5) and hits the Green Gate at (row 1, column 5). Orange block is now unlocked!
- Orange Down 2 → (Row 3, Columns 2-3) → Orange moves down to clear the top row, making space for other blocks.
- Red Down 2 → (Row 5, Columns 2-3) → Red moves down, aligning for its gate.
- Red Left 1 → (Row 5, Columns 1-2) → Red hits the Red Gate at (row 5, column 1).
- Blue Right 1 → (Row 5, Columns 2-3) → Number reduces to 3, Blue moves toward its gate.
- Blue Right 2 → (Row 5, Columns 4-5) → Number reduces to 1, Blue hits the Blue Gate at (row 5, column 5).
Total Moves: 7 (Purple: 1 move, Green: 1 move, Orange: 1 move, Red: 2 moves, Blue: 2 moves).
Note: Blue’s counter doesn’t need to reach 0 to win, as long as it’s in its gate.
Watch Out for These Slip-Ups
- Don’t move Orange before collecting both keys—it’ll waste a move.
- Avoid blocking Blue’s path to the right by leaving Red in the way.
- Don’t forget Blue’s counter; plan moves to reduce it while heading to the gate.
