The Bench

The first room of Pipe Down. Pipes, a vat, a deadline.

Crossroads, a level of Pipe Down in the The Bench room, part built and part full of slop, with the queue of pieces on the left
Crossroads (The Bench), staged in Pipe Down

Where Pipe Down starts: four levels on a bench, from “Day one” to “Crossroads”. The game doesn’t say whose bench. Slop that goes off the edge of the board goes “Off the edge of the bench.”

What the sources say

  1. Lay pipe from the vat. When the bar runs out the slop starts; fill 6 pipes before it spills.Pipe Down, Day one
  2. Bends turn the slop. Crates stop it, messily.Pipe Down, Round the bend
  3. Wrong piece? Put another on top. It costs half a second and 50 points.Pipe Down, Second thoughts
  4. A cross can be filled both ways: +400 when the slop crosses its own path.Pipe Down, Crossroads
