Color Block Jam Level 817 Walkthrough
Level 817 combines several of the game’s most complex mechanics into one tight board: multiple golden keys, a chained tile, locked number blocks, and even bomb blocks (22 and 17). All this must be cleared within just 1:50. It's a puzzle of timing, sequencing, and space control.
Overview of Level 817
Board Shape: Compact with side padding and central stack
Main Goals
- Unlock the chained “4” block at the top
- Defuse two bomb blocks (22 and 17)
- Clear locked number blocks (7, 9, 11, 14)
- Collect all 3 golden keys in the center
Key Challenges
- Chained Tile at the Top
- Requires three golden keys to unlock.
- Hidden behind layered blockers and tight space.
- Bombs on the Bottom Corners
- Red 22 and 17 bomb blocks must be defused before time or move limits expire.
- Located in hard-to-access lower corners.
- Black Number Blocks
- Several tiles (7, 9, 11, 14) are locked and need to be cleared after unlocking pathways.
Walkthrough Strategy
Early Game (First 30 seconds)
- Clear the green vertical block in the center to begin opening vertical movement.
- Remove orange and red layers around the key area using narrow vertical or L-shaped blocks.
- Target the three keys in the middle ASAP. Once you get them, the chain above unlocks automatically.
Mid Game
- Work your way down by clearing blocks surrounding the bombs (22 and 17). Prioritize these since they are time-sensitive.
- Use narrow pieces and frequent rotations to reach each bomb without wasting space.
- Begin chipping away at the black locked number tiles, especially 9 and 14 which are easier to access after bombs are cleared.
End Game
- Focus on clearing the chained “4” block now that the keys are collected.
- Clear remaining blocks methodically, watching for combo placements to speed up the final phase.
Pro Tips to Success
- Prioritize the bombs. The 22-move and 17-move timers will end your run early if you ignore them.
- Don’t hoard vertical blocks. Use them early to access the center and lower areas.
- Rotating after every few placements this board rewards adapting your perspective often.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Clearing sides before unlocking the center keys.
- Leaving one bomb uncleared either one can end the game if missed.
- Over-committing to clearing number blocks before unlocking the chain.
Level 817 Color Block Jam is all about precision and sequence. Unlock the keys early, defuse bombs next, then go after the chained tile and black number blocks. Keep your rotations frequent and your placements smart to beat the clock.
