Step-by-step solution
- 1) Poke the Orange block that sits five from the left along the bottom row to fill the Orange Box waiting above in column four and clear it out of the way.
- 2) Keep the bottom-row Light Pink, Dark Red, and Yellow blocks untouched, since touching them now would choke the belt.
- 3) Starting from the far-left edge of the bottom row, push the Dark Green, then Mint Green, then Light Blue masses onto the belt one after another, which pulls away the left flank of the first Hidden Box layer.
- 4) Poke each newly revealed Hidden Box in turn, hunting for the Pink and Brown marbles that clear the tops of the first three columns.
- 5) Once a Pink or Brown drops from the hidden layer it snaps straight into the waiting lower boxes, and the midgame demands switch to Dark Grey, Purple, Mint Green, then Dark Blue.
- 6) Match the Dark Grey and Purple blocks from the third row into the freshly revealed lower receivers in the first two columns, then tap the next layer of four Hidden Boxes to see what drops.
- 7) Keep your focus on the far-left columns so the left tower does not grow too tall, and drop the visible Dark Red, Pink, and Dark Blue blocks that sit on the fifth row down into their matching boxes.
- 8) Clear the last two Hidden Boxes on row six and drop the single Yellow block at the top-left peak down into the last Yellow Box to wrap up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main trap to avoid in Level 228?
The biggest mistake is tapping colors that have no active bottom Box yet. They park on your Conveyor Belt and burn limited slots, so clear the shades that actually have receivers first.
How should I open Level 228?
Ignore the upper layers and aim at the bottom row of the Top Tray. Feed the colors that already have open boxes, then work upward once the lower lanes shift.
When does the midgame color change happen in Level 228?
After the opening boxes fall, the lower columns swap what they demand. Watch for the new shades and only pull blocks that match a box sitting at the front of a lower lane.
Any tip for finishing Level 228 clean?
Keep at least a few empty belt slots before poking mystery or hidden boxes. Feed a revealed color the moment it matches an active box, and fall back to visible marbles when the belt gets tight.
