How to beat Colony Flow! Level 174 — full solution
- Tap the Cyan 35 box and Cyan 40 box from the front row of the stack in any order. The cyan ants clear the outer background framing along the top and left edges.
- Tap the remaining front-row Cyan 40 box and Cyan 70 box. They dismantle the upper Cyan borders, exposing the card outlines and upper watch chain.
- Tap the Cyan 25 box, Cyan 36 box, and Cyan 36 box as they reach the front row, followed by the White 18 box. Ants strip the white face of the left card and lower background segments.
- Tap the Orange 30 box and Yellow 5 box to clear the golden watch rim and card suit markers, keeping at least one slot open as cyan counts finish.
- Tap the Black 23 box, White 28 box, and White 37 box to clear the card spades, dice pips, and large white clock face. Two slots remain free as older boxes expire.
- Tap the Pink 20 box, Dark Purple 22 box, and Cyan 10 box. Their ants eat away the pink diamond patterns and purple decorative suits.
- Tap the White 72 box, Orange 42 box, and Black 27 box as the clock hands and inner yellow gearwork become fully exposed. The watch dial and surrounding playing card graphics collapse.
- Tap the remaining White 34, Orange 25, Pink 16, and Cyan 14 boxes, followed by the revealed mystery boxes in any order. The final ants carry away the remaining Red heart markers and pocket watch stem to clear the board.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping the Orange 30 or Black 32 boxes while the cyan border is still fully intact → Orange and Black blocks are buried inside the cards and clock, stalling the boxes in slots and causing an early gridlock.
Quick tips for Level 174
- Cyan dominates the initial visible perimeter; burn through the large Cyan stack counts first before unlocking inner dice and watch components.
- Keep track of the chained mystery box in the lower stack rows; uncover it only after clearing enough perimeter colours to give mystery ants immediate targets.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture depicts a pocket watch resting on playing cards and dice against a cyan background. Five empty slots sit above a four-column stack featuring layered Cyan, Orange, Pink, and locked mystery boxes.
- Goal
- Dismantle all coloured pixels using matching ant boxes from the stack without letting stalled boxes fill all five slots.
- Opening
- Deploy front-row Cyan boxes immediately. The massive outer cyan border offers plenty of accessible pixels, allowing boxes to cycle out rapidly.
- Trap
- Deploying Black, Red, or Yellow boxes too early stalls them in slots because all clock and suit details are completely encased by white cards and cyan frames.
- Mechanic
- Chained mystery boxes buried deep in the stack cannot be tapped until unobstructed, revealing their true colour only upon reaching the front row.
Level 174 questions

Which colour should I tap first on Level 174?
Start with the front-row Cyan boxes. Cyan lines the entire outer edge of the image, ensuring your ants immediately find work and keep your slots cycling.
