Cut the Rope Level 299 — Spooky Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)
Level 299★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Players Google "Cut the Rope Level 299" specifically because the answer feels like it should be obvious — and isn't. That gap between "should be easy" and "actually stuck" is what makes this one worth a walkthrough.
## Cut the Rope — Spooky Box, Level 24
**Box:** Spooky Box | **Level:** 299 (Spooky Box #24)
## Walkthrough
This level uses anti-gravity, magic hats, ropes, time reversals and teleportation. The candy starts through the center and Om Nom is waiting at the bottom.
### Step-by-Step Solution
1. **First, observe the layout.** Look at where the candy hangs and trace a path to Om Nom. Note every rope, bubble, and obstacle.
2. **Cut the first rope** — the one holding the candy closest to the top. This drops the candy toward the first star.
3. **Use the anti-gravity** to redirect the candy toward the second star. Timing is important here — wait until the candy swings to its peak before activating.
4. **Collect the final star** by using the magic hats to swing the candy wide.
5. **Guide the candy to Om Nom.** If you miss a star, the candy should still reach Om Nom — just replay for a perfect score.
### Getting All 3 Stars
- Star 1: Drops naturally when you cut the first rope.
- Star 2: Requires precise timing with the anti-gravity.
- Star 3: The hardest one — you need to time the teleportation perfectly before the candy falls past it.
## Tips for This Level
The Spooky Box introduces anti-gravity which add a new dimension to your puzzle-solving. Don't rush — watch the candy's momentum and plan two moves ahead.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
Map the level's mechanic chain: which element feeds into which? Identify the critical path (the sequence of interactions the candy must follow) and lock down each step before adding star collection. Optimize for stars only after the basic path works.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 299:
- Treating each mechanic independently when the solution requires chaining them — e.g., a rope cut into a bubble into a cushion bounce.
- Not experimenting with cutting ropes in reverse order from what seems intuitive.
- Forgetting that some levels have optional mechanics (like extra bubbles) that exist to misdirect you from the optimal path.
Tips
- Cut ropes in order from top to bottom for the most control over candy movement.
- In the Spooky Box, anti-gravity are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.

- How do I beat Cut the Rope Level 299?
- Level 299 (Spooky Box #24) uses anti-gravity, magic hats, ropes, time reversals and teleportation. Cut the ropes in sequence, collect all 3 stars by timing your cuts, and guide the candy to Om Nom. See the step-by-step walkthrough above.
- How do I get 3 stars on Cut the Rope Level 299?
- To get all 3 stars, you need to collect each star before the candy reaches Om Nom. Star 3 is usually the hardest — it requires precise timing with anti-gravity.
