THE IDEA

What you do in Powderlab

Powderlab is a color sorting puzzle set in an alchemical workshop. Pour the exposed powder layer from one jar to another until each filled jar holds a single matching powder.

Choose Powderlab if you enjoy planning around limited space. You move exposed layers between jars, so the useful question is what a pour will uncover next.

Choose Play Campaign and the unlocked First Decant board, or Continue · First Decant when that is the saved level. The opening counter is Moves 0, Par 4.

Before your next move

  • Do not pick a destination because a matching color is buried inside it: the exposed layer determines compatibility.
  • An empty jar is an option, not a requirement. On this board, using C for a temporary transfer adds work that the four-pour route avoids.

Questions about Powderlab

Do I need to move the blue jar?

Not in the board shown here: it starts full of blue. Leaving it alone keeps all four moves available for the mixed colors.

What if my jars are in different positions?

Match the contents listed above. If the contents differ too, use the rules to plan a new sequence rather than applying these screen positions blindly.
