Bead Route Challenge
About Bead Route Challenge
A conveyor belt keeps a steady stream of colored beads moving toward the edge of the screen, and your only job is deciding where to drop buckets so each bead lands in one that matches its color. The complication is that you only get a handful of bucket slots at a time, so placing one for a color you'll only see twice more wastes a slot a more common color needed. Waiting too long to place a bucket means beads roll past and you miss the quota for that level; placing buckets too early clutters the belt and blocks the beads behind them. The best runs treat bucket placement as triage: cover whatever color is about to overflow first and gamble on the rest catching up later.
How to Play
- Watch beads move along the conveyor toward the drop zone
- Tap to place a bucket in a color matching an upcoming bead
- Manage your limited bucket slots — don't waste one on a rare color too early
- Collect the required number of each bead color to win the level
Bead Route Challenge FAQ
Why do beads disappear before I can catch them?
A bead that reaches the end of the conveyor without a matching bucket already placed rolls off and counts against the level quota. A color you were planning to bucket in a second can vanish for good if the belt reaches it first, so the bucket has to be placed before the bead arrives, not when it does.
Is it smarter to place buckets early or wait and see what colors show up?
Waiting usually backfires because slots fill up fast once several colors appear close together on the belt, while placing early for a color you have already seen twice is a safer bet than gambling a slot on a color that might not reappear before the level ends.
