'''Force Field''' is the 147th level in [[Chip's Challenge 1]]. It is the third of five [[secret level]]s in [[MS Ruleset|MS]], and the second of four in [[Lynx]]. The secret levels are hinted at by [[Melinda]] in more than just [[Cypher]] - in the CHIPS.HLP file, the [[special dispatch]]es include this:

<blockquote>''Dear Chip, This level is so high that it officially doesn't exist, so I can't even tell you its number. But, toward the very end of your journey you might come upon my Force Field laboratory. Slide around and get a feel for how to best get to where you want to go. You'll have to be quick when you transfer from one force field direction to another, but remember there is no time limit. Forcefully, Melinda.''</blockquote>

Melinda calls this level ''Level XXX'' to keep its full identity secret. Since it had not appeared in the Challenge before it "ended" with [[Fireflies]], smart players could determine that Force Field is somewhere beyond Fireflies. Even the smartest players, however, have fallen to their knees while actually trying to conquer Force Field; if a census of ''Last Level Completed in CC1'' were taken, Force Field would likely top the list. Stories of Force Field being completed over more than one day, with the computer left on overnight, have been recorded <ref>http://www.telusplanet.net/public/nfield/ChipChallenge/cchall.htm</ref>.

The entire level is a mostly symmetrical (in shape) square of [[force floor]]s protecting 24 [[computer chip]]s, veined between [[wall]]s at every other row and column. Making a map ranges from fairly difficult to almost impossible because Chip rarely stays stationary; the only rest points are the 24 chips and eventually the [[socket]].
