How to beat Food Hunt: Pixel Puzzle Level 162 — full solution

  1. Tap the Cyan 5 jar (front left), Yellow 20 jar (front right), and front Grey jars to strip the outer perimeter. Send Dark Grey, Red 20, and Blue into open bays. Ants strip the white border and loose outer straw pixels, leaving Blue 6, Grey 4, Yellow 7, Dark Grey 13, and Red 19 active across all five bays.
  2. Allow Blue 6, Grey 4, and Yellow 7 to clear as white outline pixels disappear. Release Green 20 and incoming Dark Grey and Red jars to maintain continuous chewing on the upper comb and tail borders. All five bays remain occupied with Red 17, Dark Grey 19, Green 17, Dark Grey 9, and Red 19.
  3. Let the active Dark Grey and Green jars strip the tail outline and comb perimeter without tapping new jars. Ants steadily consume the exposed outer pixels. Counts on the five active jars drop to Red 12, Dark Grey 16, Green 13, Dark Grey 7, and Red 19.
  4. Continue letting the active jars eat through the exterior border. Dark Grey ants finish stripping the rooster's upper frame and comb backing. Bay numbers decrease to Red 4, Dark Grey 14, Green 5, Dark Grey 6, and Red 19.
  5. As Green 5 and Red 4 finish, tap the Yellow 1 Key jar behind the center column to collect the key and open the Padlock jar. Deploy Orange and Cyan jars into the freed slots to target the lower straw and tail accents. Bays hold Orange 14, Dark Grey 14, Cyan 1, Dark Grey 3, and Red 18.
  6. Cyan 1 and Dark Grey 3 complete and exit. Tap Green 14, Orange 10, Cyan 21, and Brown 2 into the freed slots. Ants break down the rooster's multi-coloured tail feathers and dissolve the bulk of the straw mound, leaving Orange 11, Green 14, Brown 10, Cyan 21, and Brown 2 in the bays.
  7. Clear out the tail feathers and remaining lower straw. Tap Green 3, Light Green 2, Brown 3, Cyan 1, and Pink 16 into the available bays. Tail plumage completely clears away, fully exposing the rooster's dark blue torso and neck feathers.
  8. Allow Green, Light Green, and Pink to finish. Tap Blue 20, Orange 10, Dark Grey 10, Yellow 9, Red 25, and Brown 9 into the bays. Ants swarm the remaining blue body, red wattles, comb, and base straw.
  9. Let Orange 10, Dark Grey 10, Yellow 9, Red 25, and Brown 9 finish consuming the final pixels of the rooster's head, comb, and straw pile. Every pixel is eaten and the level is complete.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping Blue 20 early in the solve → the rooster's blue body is fully buried under outer border pixels, causing Blue 20 to stall and permanently clog a bay.
  • Filling all five bays before uncovering the Yellow 1 Key jar → leaves no empty slot to deploy the key jar, permanently blocking the Padlock jar and causing an immediate loss.

Quick tips for Level 162

  • Prioritize jars matching the outer outline (Grey, White, and Yellow) before releasing core body colours like Blue and Pink.
  • Keep at least one bay open when digging down the center column so the Yellow 1 Key jar can be tapped immediately once revealed.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
The board features a colourful rooster perched on a straw pile, enclosed in an outer border. Jars feed from three columns beneath the five bays.
Goal
Clear all pixels of the rooster and straw mound using jars from the grid without stalling all five bays.
Opening
Cyan 5, Yellow 20, and outer Grey jars are safe opening moves because their matching pixels form the fully exposed outer edges of the picture.
Trap
Blue 20 sits in the grid but Blue pixels are entirely buried inside the rooster's torso; tapping it before the tail and wings are cleared guarantees a stalled bay.
Mechanic
A Padlock jar in the right column requires 1 key; digging through the center column reveals the Yellow 1 Key jar needed to unlock it.

Level 162 questions

  • How do I unlock the padlock jar in Level 162?

    Clear the jars in the middle column until the Yellow 1 Key jar is uncovered. Tap it to send the key to the padlock, opening the locked jar.

  • When should I tap the Blue jar in Level 162?

    Wait until the tail feathers and outer outline are completely eaten, exposing the rooster's blue torso. Tapping Blue earlier stalls the bay.
