Verified opening-board solution

Start here

Close the optional daily bonus, choose Play Campaign and Folded Gate on Landmark Map. The first stage asks for seven floors and begins at HEIGHT 1/7, SCORE 0, COMBO 0.

The rules you need

  • Tap or click to drop the moving section. Align its landing edges with the section beneath it.
  • Overhang is trimmed, narrowing the next landing surface. A successful drop can increase height without being perfect.
  • HEIGHT, SCORE and COMBO measure different things. Finish the displayed height target, then read the rating and paper remaining.

Finish Folded Gate, then read what one star actually means

This is a timing example, not a fixed series of screen coordinates. In the checked run, six additional drops carried the starting floor to HEIGHT 7/7. The score sequence explains the difference between progress and precision.

  1. Compare the first two drops

    The first drop reached HEIGHT 2/7, SCORE 44 and COMBO 1. The next reached HEIGHT 3/7 and SCORE 79, but COMBO returned to 0. Both landed; they did not receive the same precision result.

  2. Keep landing after a cut

    Use the remaining edges as the next target instead of the original tower width. The following captured scores were 112 at 4/7, 147 at 5/7 and 179 at 6/7. Those are observations from this run, not score thresholds to copy.

  3. Reach the height target and inspect the rating

    The last drop reached HEIGHT 7/7 and SCORE 183. Landmark stacked! confirmed completion with one star and 38% paper left. The result also explains that the stamp requires three stars: finishing a landmark is not the same as earning its best reward.

Why this sequence works

The run shows recovery from imperfect drops: a cut does not automatically end the attempt if enough landing surface remains. Six safe drops can complete the opening height, while lost width and broken combos leave a lower rating. Aim for a better landing on the next floor rather than treating a rising score as proof of perfect play.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Do not judge alignment against the scenery or the original base after the stack has narrowed.
  • Do not report a three-star finish from the completion banner alone. Check the actual stars, paper left and stamp requirement.

Questions about this board

Can I finish without a perfect combo?

Yes. The checked run finished seven floors with a one-star result despite later COMBO 0. That does not make the inaccurate drops optimal.

Will I get exactly 183 points with six clicks?

No. Timing and overlap affect the result. Use the displayed edges and counters; this score documents one completed attempt.

Other modes and further play

Landmark Map lists later stages with their own floor targets. Endless Stack and Themes are separate choices, and Settings contains presentation options. The checked result is the seven-floor opening stage, not a perfect campaign or an endless height record.
