Beads Out Level Walkthroughs & Solutions

What is Beads Out?

Beads Out is a conveyor-routing puzzle from Voodoo, available on iOS and Android. Each board is a looping shell of colored segments that drains through a single outlet, and the player's only tool is swapping which catch box sits under that outlet. Level 1 teaches the whole system with one loop and four boxes: slide the right color under the drain in the order the colors physically reach the bottom lip, and the board clears itself. Level 5 adds a second feeder pipe entering the same loop, which turns one of the reserve boxes into a mid-run tool instead of an obvious first move.

From there the mechanics stack quickly. Level 10 introduces queue management, where the stacking order of boxes in the lower pit is itself puzzle information rather than free storage. Level 25 switches the shell shape to a circular ring around a fixed hub, so the solve becomes shaving down a loop rather than draining a free-form shape. Countdown-numbered blocks appear by Level 29 and anchor the Level 50 capstone board, where a hard upper U-shell has to shrink before either countdown tile can be spent. Level 75 introduces the key-with-box unlock, gray padlocks follow soon after, curtained chambers that must be filled down from a number like `3` show up by Level 150, and by Level 175 through 200 a single board can combine a pending row, a crate grid, a lock grid, a curtain, and a speed-up disc that all draw from one shared reserve.

LevelSolve currently publishes walkthroughs for all 200 live levels, out of 799 total levels Beads Out has released. Across that published range, 3 levels are easy, 10 medium, 108 hard, and 79 expert, so the difficulty settles into hard-or-expert territory well before the halfway point. Every guide breaks down the board layout, names the danger zone, gives a step-by-step box order, and links a video walkthrough where one exists.

How to Play Beads Out

These tips apply across all Beads Out levels. For level-specific advice, open any walkthrough from the range browser above.

• Read the pit stacking order before touching anything. On queue-management boards like Level 10, the boxes buried at the bottom are locked behind the ones on top, and pulling a bottom box early collapses the timing for everything above it.
• Save any box that sits alone in an easy-looking reserve slot for last. Isolated colors such as the purple box in Level 5 are usually bait, and using them early blocks the middle relay lane other colors still need.
• On circular-core rings, protect the very first rim handoff. A bad early swap repeats around the whole loop instead of staying local, so the opening turn matters more than it looks.
• Never burn a countdown-numbered block while the surrounding shell is still wide. The block only survives a mistimed spend if the shell around it has already been thinned down to a short tail.
• Feed curtained chambers marked with a number before expecting the tray to behave normally. The curtain only opens after enough fills push its count from `3` toward `1`, and the last loose singles jam if the shell empties before that happens.
• Hold off on padlocks and Speed X2 discs until the pending row or target boxes they gate have already climbed to the required threshold, usually 50%. Triggering them early dumps unmatched colors onto slots that aren't ready to receive them.
• On boards with two mirrored ladders or twin feeder arms, treat both sides as one shared finish rather than two separate puzzles, since they usually draw from the same bottom bowl or reserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How many levels does Beads Out have?

  Beads Out has up to 799 levels in total. LevelSolve currently publishes walkthroughs for levels 1 through 200, each with a board breakdown and a step-by-step catch-box order.

• How hard are the published Beads Out levels?

  Of the 200 published levels, 3 are rated easy, 10 medium, 108 hard, and 79 expert. Difficulty settles into hard-or-expert territory by around Level 33 and stays there for most of the rest of the range.

• Is Beads Out free to play?

  Beads Out is free to download on both iOS and Android from Voodoo. Like most conveyor and sorting puzzle games, it likely includes optional in-app purchases such as extra tray slots or hint tools.

• Are these Beads Out walkthroughs official?

  No. Beads Out belongs to Voodoo. LevelSolve is an unofficial fan guide.

• What does the queue-management mechanic in Beads Out mean?

  Starting around Level 10, the boxes stored in the lower pit are stacked in a specific order, and that order is part of the puzzle. Pulling a buried box out before the boxes above it have been used collapses the timing the level was built around.

• How do the padlocks and curtained chambers in Beads Out work?

  Gray padlocks unlock once a linked pending row or target box reaches a required fill level, usually 50%, releasing a stack of boxes behind them. Curtained chambers instead count down from a printed number such as `3`, opening only after enough matching fills push the count to `1` and then `0`.
