Step-by-step solution
- 1) Open at the tray's far-right edge, sending the cyan block down so it lands in a head-row cyan receiver, which lines up neatly with the third lane's front green receiver.
- 2) Reach to the second column from the left and drop it into the rightmost orange receiver below, then keep the yellow block at the head-center perfectly still.
- 3) Notice the bait traps: the center Yellow and far-left Brown blocks in the Top Tray have no active bottom Boxes yet, so pulling them would burn belt space.
- 4) After the orange block flips to purple, the green flips to pink, and the far-right cyan exposes the first grey hidden box, make clearing the pair of cyan receivers on the left your top priority.
- 5) When the cyan receivers are gone and the two brown targets rise into place, grab the bait brown block at the far left and empty the front brown receiver.
- 6) Begin stripping the board's left and right flanks, keeping the central hidden-box column and the middle yellow block sitting idle for as long as you can.
- 7) As you clear up the side columns, the outer Gift Boxes activate and drop three new blocks, so sort those into the remaining Pink, Brown, and Green boxes and keep the belt empty before each pop.
- 8) Send the yellow block the moment a yellow receiver appears from the rear, then work down the central hidden-box line one at a time, pop the topmost middle present last, and clean up the blocks it drops to win.
Level 296 Triple Gift Box Trap
Marble Sort Level 296 is incredibly deceptive.
one load on plus spot a nice, colorful spread across the top.
this board design forces one into some immediate bottleneck if one make even one bad tap at the start.
this most obvious threat rests right at the peak of the board.
Three azure Gift cases wrapped on crimson ribbons sit perched at this top left, top center, and top right.
When one empty this pieces near them, they shall burst available plus dump three extra blocks onto your board.
If one pop them all at once, the Conveyor track clogs instantly and the level ends.
into beat this stage, one should carefully navigate this exact head-line layout before one even think about touching the upper sections.
Level 296 strict color sequence
Look at how this exact board is structured.
this upper Tray forms a jagged, cross-like shape.
Five colored pieces sit totally exposed over the bottom row of this upper section.
From west into east, one hold Brown, Orange, Yellow, Green, and Light Blue.
Directly above those exposed blocks, the board gets ugly.
this far-west plus far-east lanes sit just solid stacks of grey Hidden Boxes .
one can't spot what shades they hold until one drop the piece in front of them.
this blind-middle lane sits exactly this same—one sheer tall send from four grey secret cases leading east up to the top-middle Gift Box .
this head targets sit Light Blue, Light Blue, Green, and Orange.
Notice what shade is missing from the bottom targets?
this middle gold piece plus this far-west Brown piece in the Top Tray are absolute bait.
this game puts them east up front, begging you to tap them.
If one bring them down, they shall sit over your Conveyor Belt taking up vital space.
one can't empty them since this lower Brown cases sit stuck on this second line, trapped behind the Light Blue targets.
gold is nowhere to be found down below.
take this trap, plus the Conveyor Belt gets too crowded to function.
Level 296 Level Overview
One mistake first over ruins this belt economy for the entire midgame.
Level 296 Surviving the opening taps
one want into carve out this safe pieces without touching the traps.
Start over the far right of the Top Tray .
that shall send into this Conveyor track plus slide east into one from the front Light Blue bottom Boxes .
This matches perfectly using the third lane's front Green Box .
Move over into the second column from the left.
This sorts straight into this far-right Orange bottom Box .
Leave this head-center Yellow block exactly where it is.
one do not hold the bottom Boxes to process them yet.
Look at what the first clears just exposed.
Pulling this Orange block revealed a Purple block.
Pulling this Green block revealed a Pink block.
Pulling this far-east Light azure piece exposed this first grey Hidden Box in that column.
Level 296 Managing the hidden layers
Now this board opens up, but the danger shifts.
this goal sits into empty this head lower cases so the second row targets become active.
If that uncovers Light azure, emerald, or Orange, you can sort it immediately.
one should prioritize finishing those two Light azure bottom Boxes on the left.
Getting those out from the way is mandatory.
since this second tier from targets over the bottom left are two Brown Boxes .
Once this Light azure cases vanish plus this Brown targets move forward, one may atlast choose that trap Brown piece parked over the far-left of the Top Tray .
Clearing that head-west Brown piece opens onto this left-side column of grey Hidden Boxes .
Start peeling down this left and right sides of the board.
Leave this middle lane from secret cases plus this middle gold block untouched for as long as possible.

this late game is all about crowd control.
one sit going into hit this blue Gift Boxes , and chaos will follow.

send this gold piece once one gold bottom Box spawns from a rear position.
Chew through this middle tall line from grey Hidden Boxes one by one.
Sort their secret shades, trigger this last upper-middle Gift case , plus clear the last spawned blocks to win.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main trap to avoid in Level 296?
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 296?
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 296?
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 296 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.
