Gecko Out Level 20 Walkthrough & Guide
Welcome to Gecko Out Level 20, where your mission is to drag and move geckos through intricate paths to guide each gecko to its matching colored hole before time runs out. This level challenges players to develop strategic thinking and quick decision-making skills.
This walkthrough guide provides expert color matching strategies for Gecko Out Level 20, detailing every movement tip, path navigation technique, and puzzle solving principle needed to complete the level successfully.
Step 1. Prepare the Pan and Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Tightly wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with multiple layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
💡 Tip: The foil wrap is crucial to prevent water from the water bath seeping into your crust. [7]
Step 2. Create the Silky Filling
In a large bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese until it's completely smooth and free of lumps. Mix in the sugar, followed by the sour cream, vanilla, and lemon zest. Add the room temperature eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed only until just combined.
💡 Tip: Do not overmix after adding the eggs; incorporating too much air can cause the cheesecake to puff up and crack later. [4, 9, 13]
Step 3. Assemble the Water Bath
Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust. Place the foil-wrapped springform pan into a large roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes about halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
💡 Tip: The water bath insulates the cheesecake, ensuring it bakes gently and evenly for an ultra-creamy texture. [3]
Step 4. Bake and Cool Gradually
Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and bake for about 1.5 hours. The center should still have a slight jiggle. Turn the oven off, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool slowly in the oven for at least one hour. [8]
💡 Tip: This slow cooling process is the most important secret to preventing a cracked surface. [2, 3]
Step 5. Chill to Perfection
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and the water bath. Let it cool completely to room temperature on a wire rack. Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight, before serving.
💡 Tip: Chilling is essential for the cheesecake to set properly. Do not attempt to slice it before it's fully chilled. [7]
💡 Tips and Tricks for Gecko Out Level 20
All dairy and eggs MUST be at room temperature to ensure a smooth, homogenous batter. [13]
Scrape down the bowl and paddle frequently to make sure there are no lumps of cream cheese.
Do not open the oven door while the cheesecake is baking, as the sudden change in temperature can cause it to sink and crack. [13]
For the cleanest slices, use a long, thin knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between each cut.
Gecko Out Level 20 Common Mistakes:
Using cold cream cheese, which results in a lumpy, uneven filling. [11, 13]
Overmixing the batter after adding eggs, which incorporates excess air and leads to cracks upon cooling. [4, 12, 13]
Skipping the water bath, causing the cheesecake to bake too quickly, become rubbery, and develop a large crack. [3, 11]
Cooling the cheesecake too rapidly, which shocks the custard and is a primary cause of surface cracks. [3, 8]
