Food Hunt Level 317 Walkthrough

Published: 2026-11-13

Clear Food Hunt level 317 by starting orange, adding yellow and white, then opening dark grey, green and pale orange before the late red and dark teal. The image is a green dinosaur watching a falling meteor in an orange sunset, with eight colors to work through. Wooden panels marked 20, 20 and 30 hang over the scene.

The orange background takes up two fifths of the board and lasts through much of the run. Behind it, a series of enclosed colors competes for the five slots: dark teal and green are fully covered, red is nearly covered, pale orange is heavily covered, and most dark grey is blocked too. You need the accessible sunset colors to release that interior before too many waiting boxes occupy the row.

Meteor Board Answer Key: Sunset to Dinosaur

Orange, yellow, white, dark grey, green and pale orange, followed by red and dark teal.

The first part of the order removes the broad sunset and accessible pale areas. Dark grey then helps open the smaller dinosaur colors, so green and pale orange belong after orange and white are nearly finished. Keep red and dark teal as closing priorities because almost none of red and none of dark teal can be reached initially. This sequence describes access through the picture, while the lower queue still decides which box is available for your next selection.

Walkthrough Through Eight Sunset Colors

1. Let orange eat the sunset. Orange owns two fifths of the field, making it the largest color on this dinosaur board. Start its box when the queue first offers it so the ants can begin removing the sunset around the dinosaur and meteor. Its slot returns only when all of that color has been eaten, which explains why this large background stays busy. Starting a small enclosed detail instead would delay the main opening work.

The dinosaur video follows the orange sunset opening, the yellow and white pass, and the delayed red and dark teal ending. The scene also shows the wooden panels labeled 20, 20 and 30.

2. Bring in the yellow area. Yellow covers about a sixth of the board, with a quarter of its pixels lying inside the picture. After the first orange cells disappear, access to yellow opens from outside. Put the yellow box into the second slot and let its ants work through those reachable sections. Keep it there until the counter reaches zero rather than expecting its interior pixels to vanish before the surrounding orange has opened them.
3. Clear the accessible white. White accounts for roughly a ninth of the field, and about half of its pixels are inside the image. These include broad accessible areas, so white can clear promptly and return its space without the long waits of the enclosed colors. Work white after yellow to avoid keeping three occupied slots unnecessarily. Its removal, together with progress on orange, prepares the more heavily covered dark grey sections.
4. Uncover dark grey gradually. Nearly three quarters of dark grey starts blocked by neighbors. Wait for white and some of orange to disappear before choosing its box, so there is a visible area the ants can eat. More grey becomes accessible as the surrounding colors continue clearing. Keep that box working through the remaining enclosure instead of surrounding it with several other colors that are waiting for the same route.
5. Release the dinosaur body. Green makes up about a twentieth of the board and starts entirely enclosed, forming the dinosaur body beneath surrounding tones. Pale orange has more than three quarters of its cells blocked as well. Add these two when orange and white are almost gone and their ants can reach the newly opened patches. During this late opening, green and pale orange finish at nearly the same stage.
6. Close with red and dark teal. Only a small portion of red is accessible before the ending, so save it until the field is nearly empty. Dark teal has no initial access because white, dark grey and two additional colors enclose its whole area. Select these late boxes after their neighbors have been removed. Their remaining pixels can then be eaten to complete the meteor scene and finish level 317.

Dark Teal Has No Early Route

Dark teal is the most direct example of a box with nowhere to work: white, dark grey and two other colors enclose all of it. If selected early, it must wait while those neighbors disappear. Green is also fully enclosed, whereas red has only a small initially exposed portion. A still counter on any of those choices reflects the route into the dinosaur image, not proof that the matching color has been forgotten.

Now check how much of the five-slot row is committed to that waiting group. Keep enclosed choices to two together, because three or more remove your room to maneuver. Orange, yellow and white should establish the opening before you accept those long waits. Let white and dark grey release dark teal, then allow the covered green body and pale orange to clear when their surrounding layers are gone. Adding another trapped box does not remove an existing barrier.
