Food Hunt Level 188 Walkthrough

Published: 2026-11-13

Beat Food Hunt level 188 by opening with salmon, light blue, dark grey, blue and lilac, then keeping dark grey working while the slower colors wait. You are clearing 33 boxes in 9 colors from a picture of a soccer player in a grey uniform jumping to kick a ball beside a goal. Place the small peach box last, but expect orange to finish eating after it.

The difficult part is the pace of the clear. Light blue waits until blue exposes the central object, while lilac and blue occupy slots for a substantial stretch. White also clears slowly, and peach remains parked until the final pass. You need working colors beside those waiting boxes throughout the run, rather than expecting each pick to empty its slot immediately.

Soccer Picture Answer Key: Opening Colors and Last Picks

Salmon, light blue, dark grey, blue, lilac; repeat dark grey and salmon, then pink and orange. White and peach enter in the middle. Close with orange, dark grey and peach, placing the small peach box last.

This line describes the main changes in the queue, with the repeated dark grey boxes running between the other colors. It does not mean that orange finishes when you first select it. Orange enters early but eats its largest remaining areas at the end. Likewise, the final peach pick marks the end of the queue, not the color that eats the last pixel. Follow the six passes below for the intervening refills.

Six-Pass Walkthrough for the Grey-Uniform Player

1. Fill the opening slots. Select salmon, light blue, dark grey, blue and lilac in quick succession, filling all five starting slots. Follow those picks with a second dark grey, salmon and another dark grey as the queue advances. Four boxes are already eating pixels during this opening, so keep the board supplied instead of pausing after each selection. Dark grey clears the black outlines and works faster than the other colors; nine of the 33 boxes use it.

The level 188 video follows the crowded opening into the long light blue and peach waits. It also shows the distinction between placing the small peach box last and watching orange complete the clear.

2. Peel back the player and ball. Bring in pink, orange, white and dark grey for the first pass over the figure and the ball. These colors remove the initial pixel layer rather than completing the whole picture at once. Give orange its early place even if its counter later stops, because it has large areas to eat during the finish. Keep dark grey active alongside it, using its steady clear to return room for the next box.
3. Let the large boxes wait. The next group is orange, salmon, peach, dark grey and light blue. Two large boxes remain in place longer than the rest while smaller picks expose their buried pixels. Light blue in particular does not resume until blue opens the central object, including the ball and the area around it. Leave those waiting boxes alone and continue the surrounding colors; their remaining pixels sit deeper in the picture.
4. Return to the blue layers. Continue with blue, white, lilac, dark grey, pink and another lilac. Both blue and lilac can spend a long time occupying slots before they empty. White is slow too, finishing among the later boxes in this wave. As those colors work, the middle layers of the grey uniform become accessible, so judge the pass by the layers opening rather than by an immediate empty slot.
5. Prepare peach for the ending. Add peach, white and dark grey to support the boxes that will remain until the closing layers. Peach is expected to stay parked for a long stretch and survive into the final pass. Keep an active dark grey box beside the waiting colors whenever the queue provides it. That outline clear is the useful movement here; another occupied slot by itself does not mean another color can already reach its pixels.
6. Place peach, then let orange finish. Run through blue, dark grey, lilac, peach, orange, dark grey and peach, followed by the last small peach box. Watch the counters drop as the upper pixels disappear and the remaining layers become reachable. Orange finishes after the other boxes, eating the last large sections of its own color. The queue therefore ends on peach even though the final eaten pixel belongs to orange, and the level clears when that pixel is gone.

Keep Dark Grey Moving Through the Long Soccer Stalls

Look first for an active dark grey box when several counters stop together. Filling all five slots exclusively with waiting colors removes the room needed to expose their layers. Peach needs particular care because it lasts into the final pass: give it working neighbors, and let the larger orange and white boxes enter early enough to wait through their own layers. Dark grey repeatedly clears a slot while those longer jobs remain on the board.

Next check which stalled color you are watching. Light blue depends on blue opening the ball and nearby central areas, whereas lilac and blue themselves stay in place for much of their pass. White takes a slower route to zero too. Those different waits can overlap, but their cause is the same buried access described in the steps. Removing a waiting box is unnecessary; keep progressing through the available outline and surrounding colors.
