How to beat Food Hunt: Pixel Puzzle Level 297 — full solution

  1. Tap the Orange 31 jar (front row, far left), the Grey 19 jar (front row, inner right), and the Cyan 20 jar (row 2, far right). Ants remove exposed border sky, ground details, and chimney bricks, leaving two active bays.
  2. Tap the Orange 45 jar (front row, far right) and the Yellow 40 jar (front row, inner left). The ants eat the outer perimeter of the autumn foliage and ground, cycling the Orange jar out as Grey finishes.
  3. Tap the Purple 20 jar (row 2, second from left) and the front Yellow 45 jar. The purple roof shingles are eaten and the yellow foliage shrinks, revealing the mystery jar and Hammer 17 beneath.
  4. Tap the Hammer 17 jar (row 3, centre) and the Grey 30 jar (row 2, far right). Black ants eat the dark outlines of the cottage to charge the hammer, reducing the plank counter from 3 down to 2.
  5. Tap the Cyan 40 jar (row 3, far right) and the Yellow 30 jar (front row, right). Cyan ants clear the remaining open sky across the top while yellow foliage continues to peel away.
  6. Tap the revealed Dark Grey 20 jar (row 2, second from left) and the Orange 30 jar (front row, far left). More structural outline pixels feed into the hammer charge, reducing the plank count to 1.
  7. Tap the Yellow 40 jar (row 2, second from left) and the Cyan 27 jar (bays). Yellow ants hollow out the large canopy while the cottage walls and sky clear, freeing up bay space.
  8. Tap the Grey 20 jar and the remaining Yellow jars to break the final layer of the plank and consume the inner trunk and remaining tree canopy to complete the level.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping the Purple 20 jar on the opening board → purple cottage shingles are trapped beneath outer cyan sky and yellow foliage, stalling the jar in one of only four open bays.
  • Ignoring the Hammer 17 jar in the centre stack → the wooden plank covers nearly a third of the tree and ground, preventing yellow and orange jars from completing.

Quick tips for Level 297

  • The fifth bay is boarded up with caution tape on this level, leaving only four working slots; avoid having more than two incomplete colours in bays at once.
  • Expose and prioritize the Hammer jar early so dark outline pixels can chip down the plank before yellow jars stall.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
The picture depicts an autumn tree and small cottage against a cyan sky. A 3-hit wooden plank covers the right side of the foliage, and the fifth bay is taped off.
Goal
Clear all pixel tiles from the board using matching jars. Smashing the plank with hammer hits is mandatory to expose hidden tree pixels.
Opening
Start by tapping Orange 31, Grey 19, and Cyan 20 from the front row to clear the outermost edges and sky safely without blocking bays.
Trap
The 4-bay limit makes stalling extremely dangerous; tapping interior colours like Purple before the surrounding sky and tree are eaten will freeze a bay permanently.
Mechanic
Hammer jars collect Black pixels from the cottage outline. Each completed charge strikes the wooden plank once, counting it down until it shatters.

Level 297 questions

  • Why do I only have four bays in Level 297?

    The fifth bay slot is blocked off by design for this level. Keep at least one bay empty to prevent an immediate game over.

  • How do I break the plank covering the tree in Level 297?

    Tap the Hammer jar buried in the centre of the stack. Its ants harvest black cottage outline pixels, hitting the plank until it breaks.
