How to beat Colony Flow! Level 97 — full solution
- Tap the Black 32 box in the front row, leftmost, followed by the front Black 36 box and Light Blue 35 box. Black ants strip the outer frame while light blue ants begin dismantling the 60-block chest at top left; two slots remain open.
- Tap the Hot Pink 16 box from the front row and the Hot Pink 33 box behind it as the black boxes finish. Hot pink ants begin attacking the 100-block chest at bottom right; three slots remain active.
- Tap the Black 36 box and Black 28 box, along with the Hot Pink 33 box. Black ants clear framing blocks while hot pink ants continue chipping down the bottom-right chest; all five slots are momentarily filled.
- Tap the Yellow 30 box once a slot clears. Yellow ants start carrying blocks from the 120-block Yellow chest at bottom left, steadily reducing it while black boxes finish up; three slots become free.
- Tap the linked Hot Pink 35 pair connected by the red bar across the stack. Both boxes slide into the slots together, flooding the bottom-right Hot Pink chest with ants until it breaks open and reveals the inner pattern; two slots remain free.
- Tap the Light Green 30 box, followed by the Yellow 30 box. Ants clear exposed light green corner tiles and resume dismantling the bottom-left Yellow chest; three slots in use.
- Tap the Light Blue 33 box and the Black 30 box. Light blue ants finish destroying the top-left 60-block chest until it cracks open, while black ants strip the remaining dark borders; top-left chest is cleared.
- Tap the Light Green 30 box and Yellow 30 box. Light green ants clear secondary perimeter tiles and yellow ants finish taking down the bottom-left 120-block Yellow chest, opening it completely; two slots open.
- Tap the Blue 8 box, Blue 8 box, and the front Hot Pink box. Ants clear the remaining blocks guarding the top-right 15-block chest until it cracks open, clearing the last of the four chests; three slots in use.
- Tap the Black 32 box and Light Blue 40 box. Ants target the inner mosaic tiles uncovered by the broken chests, clearing light blue and black diamond accents; two slots remain free.
- Tap the Light Green 22 box and Light Blue 10 box. Ants clear inner diamond borders and green cluster blocks; three slots free.
- Tap the Hot Pink 30 box, Light Green 30 box, Yellow 23 box, and Black 30 box. Ants carry away the remaining central tiles until the entire board is empty and level 97 is won.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping the linked Hot Pink 35 pair with only one free slot → the pair requires two open bays simultaneously, which can force a stall if other slots hold stuck colours.
- Sending Blue or Purple boxes before the chests break → inner blue and purple mosaic blocks remain sealed under the chests, leaving those boxes stuck in their slots.
Quick tips for Level 97
- Target chest colours as soon as their outer framing blocks are stripped so their high hit counts start decreasing immediately.
- Keep two slots open whenever a linked box pair approaches the front of the stack.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- Four large numbered chests (60 Light Blue, 15 Purple, 120 Yellow, and 100 Hot Pink) sit over a decorative pixel-art diamond quilt, with a central nest and five ant slots above a multi-row stack.
- Goal
- Clear all coloured blocks and break open all four chests (counting down from 60, 15, 120, and 100) until the entire picture is removed.
- Opening
- Start with the Black and Light Blue boxes to peel away the outer dark border and begin chipping at the top-left chest, keeping at least two slots open for safety.
- Trap
- Tapping the linked Hot Pink pair without two free slots, or releasing colours whose inner blocks are trapped behind the unopened chests, easily clogs the five slots.
- Mechanic
- Numbered chests act as dense multi-hit block clusters that require dedicated ants of matching colours to count down to zero before they break open and reveal underlying pixel blocks.
Level 97 questions
-
How do you open the four numbered chests in Level 97?
Each chest matches a specific ant colour. Strip the border blocks touching the chest, then send ants of that chest's colour to carry away its blocks until the number hits zero.
-
When should you tap the linked Hot Pink pair?
Wait until at least two slots are completely empty and the Hot Pink chest at bottom right has its outer blocks cleared.
