Color Block Jam Level 688 Walkthrough for All Versions
Level 688 often uses scissor/key mechanics and numbered rope locks. The correct solution depends on whether your board is the wide rope-lock layout or the compact center-lane layout.
Level 688 Version 1
Version 1 - Rope Locks 4, 7, 10 and Yellow Strap 5
This Level 688 version has scissor keys, rope locks 4, 7, and 10, a strapped yellow 5 block, and red, teal, orange, purple, green, and blue exits.
Board Analysis
- Top exits include yellow and orange, with red and teal/green lanes around the board. Bottom exits include red and teal, while the sides carry blue, purple, and green routes.
- The scissor keys are spread across left cyan, left purple, top blue, center green, and top teal blocks. They should be collected in an order that opens the center, not just the closest key.
- The yellow strapped block with lock 5 blocks the lower middle. It should stay in place until the left-center lane and right-center lane have enough empty cells.
Recommended Route
- 1Start on the left edge: move the cyan arrow column and purple key block only enough to open the left side gate.
- 2Free the small blue and cyan pieces near the top center so the rope locks 4 and 7 can be handled without crowding the upper row.
- 3Use the green scissor key near the 10 lock after the blue top block has space; this opens the vertical center path.
- 4Delay the yellow strapped 5 block until both sides of the lower middle are clear. Unlocking it too early leaves it with nowhere to move.
- 5After the strap releases, drain the orange and blue right-side blocks, then finish with the lower red and teal exits.
Avoid These
- Collecting scissors from left to right without opening the center lane.
- Unlocking the yellow 5 strap while the lower middle is still blocked.
Level 688 Version 2
Version 1 Alternate Capture - Same Rope-Lock Layout
This alternate Level 688 capture repeats the rope locks and strapped yellow block layout, so the same center-first unlock order applies.
Board Analysis
- The locks and scissor keys match Version 1, including 4, 7, 10, and the strapped 5 block.
- The visible exits are unchanged: top yellow/orange, side blue/purple/green, and bottom red/teal.
- The key difference is only the in-game label and resource bar; the board logic is the same.
Recommended Route
- 1Use the Version 1 route and open the left side first.
- 2Clear top-center locks before touching the strapped 5 block.
- 3Release the strap only after the lower center has an exit path.
- 4Finish from right to bottom, clearing blue/orange first and red/teal last.
Avoid These
- Changing the order just because the level label differs.
- Moving the right green horizontal block before the strap route is ready.
Level 688 Version 3
Version 2 - Compact Center-Lane Board
This compact Level 688 version focuses on a narrow center lane, paired side exits, and large green, red, purple, and blue blocks.
Board Analysis
- Top exits are red, cyan, green, and purple. Side exits include orange, purple, cyan, and blue, while the bottom includes green, orange, and purple.
- The three empty/outlined cells in the center are the only reliable staging lane. Keep them open until the large lower blocks shift.
- The orange and cyan star pieces on the upper sides are short blockers that should be cleared early because they open side access.
Recommended Route
- 1Clear the upper orange and cyan star pieces first to open both side routes.
- 2Move the top blue, cyan, and purple vertical blocks upward through their matching top exits if available.
- 3Keep the center column empty while shifting the large green and red lower blocks.
- 4Use the side exits to release purple and blue pieces, then move the large lower green block through the bottom green exit.
- 5Finish with whichever top-row color remains, avoiding any move that refills all three center cells.
Avoid These
- Filling the three center cells with a large green or red block too early.
- Leaving the side star pieces until the end.
Expert Tips
- On the rope-lock version, scissor order matters more than speed.
- On the compact version, the center lane is the main resource; preserve it.
- If a locked piece cannot move after unlocking, wait and clear one more adjacent lane first.
