Color Block Jam Level 685 Walkthrough for All Versions

Level 685 alternates between a star/conveyor version and a chain/key version. Both layouts punish early center moves, so clear the exit lanes before pushing the large center pieces.

Level 685 Version 1

Version 1 - Star Blocks, Conveyor Lanes, 15 and 8

This Level 685 version includes star-covered purple blocks, a top 15 gate, a right 8 gate, and conveyor-style lanes on the left and bottom.

Color Block Jam Level 685 version 1 with star-covered purple blocks, conveyor lanes, light-blue 15 and 8 blockers
Version 1 mixes star pieces with conveyor exits. The large purple star cluster is the central blocker.

Board Analysis

  • Top exits include red, cyan 15, and blue. Side exits include cyan, purple, green, and orange; bottom exits include green, yellow, and conveyor lanes.
  • The purple star cluster in the bottom center prevents the lower exits from working until the left and right side lanes are opened.
  • The light-blue 15 at the top and 8 at the right are delayed gates; they should clear after surrounding color blocks have moved.

Recommended Route

  1. 1Start by freeing the left purple vertical and the small orange/purple stack near the lower-left side.
  2. 2Clear the right side by moving the orange horizontal block and green/cyan stacks, making room around the 8 gate.
  3. 3Use the conveyor lanes only when they push a piece toward its matching exit; avoid sending a block into the center.
  4. 4After both side lanes open, move the purple star cluster out of the bottom center.
  5. 5Finish by clearing the top 15 and right 8 gates, then drain remaining cyan, yellow, and green pieces through bottom exits.

Avoid These

  • Moving the purple star cluster before either side lane is open.
  • Using the conveyor lane to shift a block away from its matching exit.

Level 685 Version 2

Version 2 - Center Chain 6 With Six Key Blocks

This Level 685 version has a center chain 6, key blocks on red, orange, green, cyan, yellow, and purple pieces, and multi-color edge exits.

Color Block Jam Level 685 version 2 with center chain lock 6, many key blocks, and red green blue purple exits
Version 2 is a key-order puzzle. The center chain lock 6 blocks the blue middle row until the surrounding keys are handled.

Board Analysis

  • Top exits include green and red. Both side edges contain stacked color exits, and the bottom has green and orange exits.
  • The center blue block is chained with lock 6, so the board cannot open until enough key/clear progress has happened around it.
  • Key blocks surround the chain. The red and green key blocks near the center are the most important because they decide whether the blue row can move.

Recommended Route

  1. 1Open the upper-left and upper-right corners first by moving small cyan, yellow, and red blocks toward their exits.
  2. 2Move the red key and green key near the center only after their side lanes are clear; they should create space around the chain, not fill it.
  3. 3Clear the lower left purple/yellow stack and lower right orange/yellow stack to make bottom exits usable.
  4. 4Release the center chain 6 once the blue row has a clear horizontal route.
  5. 5After the chain opens, drain the blue and central vertical pieces, then clean up the remaining side blocks.

Avoid These

  • Trying to move the chained blue center before the key blocks have opened space.
  • Parking key blocks in the middle instead of sending them toward their exits.

Expert Tips

  • On Level 685, solve the edges first and the center second.
  • Star and chain mechanics both become easier after two side lanes are open.
  • Do not use power-up-style movements as a substitute for opening the real exit path.
