How to beat Food Hunt: Pixel Puzzle Level 399 — full solution
- Tap the Grey 13 jar (front row, right), Red 46 jar (front row, left), and Yellow 15 jar (front row, centre). Grey and yellow ants begin clearing the bottom pedestal and outer edges of the mushroom cloud, while red ants start stripping the exposed base.
- Tap the Purple 24 jar (row 2, left) and Red 53 jar (row 2, centre). Then send the revealed Grey 4 key jar (row 1, centre) into a bay. The key releases the chains over the fifth bay, permanently unlocking all five bay slots.
- Tap the White 4 jar, Dark Grey 45 jar, Red 25 jar, Brown 10 jar, and Pink 35 jar into the bays. The dark grey ants eat away the heavy structural stem and facial outlines, exposing the white teeth and mouth.
- Send the Yellow 32 jar, Pink 18 jar, and Red 10 jar to open bays as earlier jars empty. Yellow ants strip the upper rim of the cloud, while pink and red ants clear the inner flame bursts.
- Tap the Grey 14 jar, Yellow 19 jar, Red 6 jar, and Pink 9 jar. Ants chew through the bottom cloud smoke and inner mouth edges, leaving the brown facial features exposed.
- Deploy the Red 23 jar, Yellow 9 jar, Red 29 jar, and Purple 24 jar. The explosion stem collapses completely, detaching the top cloud mass into two symmetric lobes.
- Tap the Red 22 jar, Yellow 28 jar, White 2 jar, and Pink 5 jar. White ants finish off the teeth while red and yellow ants continue clearing the main cloud body from underneath.
- Tap the Red 63 jar, Yellow 50 jar, Brown 9 jar, Brown 8 jar, and Dark Grey 48 jar. The brown eyebrows and mouth pixels are fully cleared, leaving only the upper arched crest of the cloud.
- Release the Yellow 52 jar, Yellow 35 jar, Pink 63 jar, and Dark Grey 38 jar from the grid. They clear the remaining eyebrows and outline fragments, opening up the final red and yellow crest.
- Tap the remaining Yellow 24 jar, Yellow 7 jar, Dark Grey 24 jar, and Red 50 jar. Yellow and red ants devour the final pixels across the top cloud rim to finish the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Ignoring the Grey 4 key jar early on → playing with only four bays severely limits colour buffering and causes an early bay jam.
- Tapping heavy Red jars like Red 53 or Red 63 while the outer Grey and Dark Grey outlines still block access to red pixels → red jars stall in bays indefinitely.
Quick tips for Level 399
- Prioritize uncovering and tapping the Grey 4 key jar to unlock the fifth bay as soon as possible.
- Clear grey and dark grey outlines first to widen the exposed surface area for red and yellow pixels.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A large mushroom cloud explosion with an angry face at the top, an ant hole in the centre, five bays (one initially chained), and a 3-column jar grid below.
- Goal
- Eat every pixel of the mushroom cloud explosion using matching colour jars.
- Opening
- Start by tapping Grey 13, Red 46, and Yellow 15 to clear exposed perimeter pixels and uncover the key jar.
- Trap
- The fifth bay starts locked under chains; delaying the Grey 4 key jar leaves you stuck managing complex colour rotations with only four bays.
- Mechanic
- Chained bay: a bay slot blocked by crossed chains that opens only when the matching key jar is cleared.
