Step-by-step solution
- 1) Open by topping off the dark, red, and soft-pink receivers with only the free marbles resting near the tray floor, starting with the loose dark marble at the bottom center-left.
- 2) Route the loose red marbles in the lower left and lower right corners toward the front red receiver, and slip the loose soft-pink marble into the soft-pink receiver on the front right.
- 3) Empty all of the front dark receivers before poking the blue-striped 2x2 block on the left, letting the central Mystery pillar ride only when it flips to dark, red, or soft-pink.
- 4) After the opening wave of dark and red receivers clears and cyan and green rise to the front line, make sure four belt slots are free before you blow up the left 2x2 trap.
- 5) Set off the left 2x2 block to spill dark, red, and soft-pink into the newly exposed lower receivers, then pop the right 2x2 block once a cyan receiver reaches the front.
- 6) Chip away at the central Mystery Box column one tile at a time, waiting to see each color and matching it before dropping the next.
- 7) When the lower receivers suddenly call for purple and brown, attack the purple trapped behind the right-side linked block and guide the fresh brown marbles into the two brown receivers in the center-left.
- 8) Ease the top Mystery tiles down the central spine one by one, since each is likely to show the precise green or yellow color that closes out the board.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main trap to avoid in Level 288?
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 288?
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 288?
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 288 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.
