Food Hunt Level 297 Walkthrough

Published: 2026-11-13

To beat Food Hunt level 297, remove the yellow-orange ground first, work through the lower trunk and nearby objects, then alternate the leafy canopy with the light blue sky. The picture shows an autumn tree, a streetlamp and a broom-like object at the lower left. A Wood Block marked 3 covers part of the right side, and one of the five slot positions is chained.

Food Hunt level 297 at the start: a large yellow and orange autumn tree beside a streetlamp and a broom, with light blue sky, white wind lines, fallen leaves and a Wood Block marked 3.
Level 297 at the start: autumn tree beside a streetlamp.

Three boxes are already active in the first supplied view, with one additional empty slot beside them. That means four usable slots at this opening, not three. A pair of Connect Boxes is visible at the front of the queue. The yellow crown survives the removal of much of the ground and trunk, so the big canopy is a middle and late target.

Autumn Tree Color Order across Ground and Canopy

White details and yellow-orange ground; lower brown and grey objects with light blue sky; orange and yellow canopy; charcoal branches and outline, remaining sky strips and leaf fragments.

Read this as a route from the bottom of the picture upward. The ground clears first, exposing space below the tree and streetlamp. Light blue then disappears from the left side while the crown remains broad and rounded. Later yellow and orange ants hollow out the canopy, leaving a thin upper arc and dark branches. The last sampled states still contain sky strips, leaves and the wooden obstacle, so the route stops at that mixed cleanup rather than naming a final box.

Walkthrough up the Autumn Scene

  1. Open the leaf-covered ground. White 10, orange 35 and yellow 39 are readable in the active starting slots. Their ants are already moving toward the lower edge of the picture. Watch the broad yellow-orange strip at the bottom break apart, leaving the streetlamp base and trunk more exposed. The rightmost position is chained here. Use the empty fourth slot as the extra visible space rather than assuming the three occupied boxes represent the entire slot capacity.

The demonstration removes the fallen-leaf ground before hollowing out the tree crown. It also shows the linked queue pair, the chained slot and the numbered Wood Block on the right.

  1. Clear around the lower objects. The low ground disappears before the top of the tree changes much. Brown and grey shapes around the trunk and broom become isolated against the cleared board. Light blue ants work along the left sky edge while orange and yellow boxes continue in the slots. The fifth slot is open by a later sampled view. Check its appearance directly, because the supplied images do not show every action between the chained opening and this expanded arrangement.
  2. Push into the yellow crown. As the left background recedes, the tree still has a large rounded canopy with orange marks inside the yellow. The next major gaps appear along its underside and near the trunk. Multiple yellow boxes stand together during this phase, with orange also in use. The Wood Block remains on the right, now showing a lower counter in the timeline. Do not confuse the wooden rectangle with a solid patch of beige leaves; it is a separate obstacle covering part of the scene.
  3. Hollow out the tree and sky. The underside of the canopy opens into a large empty space. Yellow and orange fragments hang beneath the top arc while light blue strips remain along the upper border. Charcoal branches become easier to distinguish once the surrounding leaves are gone. The streetlamp also loses its colored center and leaves a dark partial frame. Continue reading both the sky and crown together: neither one is completely absent before the other starts breaking into small islands.
  4. Resolve branches and upper remnants. Later views show charcoal ants around the tree outline and small grey pieces near the lower left. The remaining yellow canopy forms a thin curved strip instead of a round mass. The Wood Block is still visible with 1 in the final sampled state, and light blue pixels survive across the top edge and beside the obstacle. Orange, charcoal, light blue and white boxes are visible at that point. Those mixed remains call for a color-by-color finish, not a claim that the last leaf alone ends the level.

Linked Picks beside the Numbered Wood Block

The grey 10 and light blue 20 boxes are joined in the opening queue. Connect Boxes move up together when picked, so inspect the connecting bar as well as the two colors. A linked pair is a different obstacle from the chain over the far-right slot, which limits the visible space at the beginning.

The Wood Block starts at 3, later shows 2 and then 1. Find hammers to break all Wood Blocks, as the obstacle rule states. The still images establish the changing counter, but they do not identify every hammer collection. Avoid assigning a particular decrease to whichever yellow box happens to stand in a slot nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you beat Food Hunt level 297?

Clear the orange-yellow ground, then the lower objects and the left sky. Work upward through the yellow canopy and finish the visible dark branches and sky fragments while dealing with the Wood Block.

Does level 297 begin with only three open slots?

Three boxes are occupied in the first view, but a fourth usable slot is empty. The fifth has crossed chains, giving four available positions at that stage.

What does the wooden 3 mean beside the tree?

It is the counter displayed on a Wood Block. The timeline later shows lower values; the glossary instructs you to find hammers to break Wood Blocks.

Does the sky disappear before all the leaves?

Light blue clears from the left while the yellow crown is still substantial. Thin sky strips survive above the partly cleared canopy, so both regions contribute to the later stages.
