Blockers are here to shake things up on your Yarn It adventure by adding an extra challenge to your level. So buckle up and get ready to discover how they work. 🔥

Types of Blockers

Below are some of the Blockers you may come across while you play.

Hidden Yarn

Hidden Yarn keep their color secret until they reach the top of the queue. Once they get there, their color is revealed and they can be used like normal. Some Boosters can reveal them early, too.

Connected Yarn Balls

Connected Yarn Balls are linked together and move as one group. You can only place them on the conveyor when all connected Yarn are available, and a group can include anywhere from 2 to 5 Yarn. If one Yarn Ball in the group runs out of ammo, it stays connected with a counter of 0 until the whole group is resolved.

Pencil

The Pencil is a colored line that blocks the strings behind it. Hit it with a Yarn Ball of the matching color to shorten it, and keep going until the whole Pencil is gone. It can be hit from any side.

Frozen Yarn Ball

A Frozen Yarn Ball is blocked in the queue and can’t be picked right away. To unlock it, you need to add a set number of other Yarn Balls to the conveyor, and each Yarn Ball you add lowers its counter by 1. Its color stays hidden until it’s unlocked.

Locked Queue

Locked Queue places a colored blocker at the top of a queue. To unlock it, remove the required number of strings of the same color from the board. Only the top of the queue can be blocked this way.

Chain and Key

Chain and Key blocks off part of the board with a chain, while the matching key sits in the queue. Push the correct key to the top of its queue to unlock the chain and open the blocked area. Each chain-key pair is matched by color and group.

Brick Wall

Brick Wall covers part of the board and hides the cubes behind it. The counter on the wall shows how many cubes need to be removed before it disappears, and every cube removed lowers the counter by 1, no matter its color.

Hidden Strings

Hidden Strings stay concealed until you target a string that clears the way to them. Once the path opens, the Hidden Strings are revealed and can be targeted like normal.

Cube Block

Cube Block combines multiple strings into one large block with a shared counter. Keep hitting it until its counter runs out, and then the whole block is cleared.

Blockers add an exciting twist to every level, turning each board into a fresh puzzle. Learn how they work, plan your moves wisely, and you’ll be ready to unravel them all.
