Food Hunt Level 445 Walkthrough
Clear Food Hunt level 445 by starting cyan first and grey second, then waiting for the enclosed colors to become reachable before selecting them. The picture has two fish-shaped flags above a snowy mountain, with light blue sky and pink trees, and uses 10 colors. Cyan covers the most pixels, so begin its long clear early while grey opens the routes into the inner regions.
Seven colors are almost or entirely cut off by neighboring pixels. White is mostly enclosed, and red, green and blue are surrounded on every side. Selecting those boxes too soon fills the slots with colors that cannot eat yet. The solution depends on access through the outer layers, with only two or three reachable boxes working at a time rather than a full row of waiting colors.

Fish Flags Answer Key: Cyan and Grey Before Enclosed Colors
Cyan first, grey second, then white and red as access opens; finish with dark grey, green, blue, light red and pale orange.
Cyan and grey lead, with white and red following when exposed neighbors allow them to eat. The bottom queue controls your taps. If the intended color is absent, choose the largest reachable color offered and return to the opening plan when possible.
Mountain Walkthrough: Open Paths Before Filling Slots
- Begin the largest cyan area. Tap cyan as soon as it becomes available in the queue. It covers the largest area and takes longest to finish. Starting cyan leaves the remaining slots available while that large region shrinks. The removed pixels expose routes toward the inner parts of the flags and mountain.
Video walkthrough of level 445
The level 445 video shows the bottom queue guiding the cyan-and-grey opening before the enclosed fish and mountain colors can work. Follow the changing access to red and white rather than choosing colors solely from the finished-looking picture.
- Use grey to reach the interior. Put grey in second, alongside the cyan box already working. Grey surrounds red and other interior colors, so those inner pixels need its layer removed before they can be reached. The two opening colors can work together without blocking each other. Leave the other three slots available at this point, rather than filling them with colors that are still enclosed by their neighbors.
- Check the walls before another pick. Check the surrounding pixels before committing a slot. Red, green and blue are fully surrounded, while white, dark grey, light red and pale orange are almost entirely covered. Their boxes wait until surrounding ants remove the obstruction. An offered box may still have no accessible pixels, so wait for its path to open.
- Bring red in after grey clears. Once grey reaches zero and leaves, red pixels become exposed from several sides. That is the point to select red so its ants can reach the fish on the flags. Red cannot complete an early clear, because its pixels have grey, white and other neighboring colors around them. Expect a further wait in its slot where those remaining neighbors still need to be removed.
- Uncover the white mountain. Check the snow after cyan and grey have eaten the surrounding walls. Much of the white mountain becomes accessible through that opening work. Select white once its neighboring pixels have gone. Watch the remaining counter: reaching zero releases its slot for another box.
- Release the remaining inner colors. Use dark grey, green, blue, light red and pale orange as their regions become exposed in the finish. By then, most of the surrounding walls have been eaten and these boxes can leave one after another. If a counter stops again, inspect the neighboring color that still borders its pixels. Clear that remaining obstruction through the available queue; the final eaten pixel completes level 445 without a specified final color.
- Read the queue below the picture. Your taps follow the bottom queue, even when the artwork suggests a different color. A needed color may not be offered yet. Use the largest accessible color available and return to cyan and grey when possible. Keep the opening priority in mind: remove the outer pixels before tackling enclosed areas.
- Keep working space available. Avoid filling all five slots with regions that have no path. Limit the working set to two or three reachable boxes. Each completed box returns a slot for a newly opened color. If several boxes are waiting, use any remaining space for a large accessible color that can expose their neighbors.
Read the Neighboring Walls Around Red and White
Check the artwork around a stopped color before examining the queue. Red, green and blue have complete surrounding walls; white and dark grey are mostly locked away, with light red and pale orange nearly as restricted. Their counters remain unchanged while those neighbors stand. Red is especially dependent on this surrounding work, so its long pause does not by itself show that the opening was wrong.
Now check the slots. An accessible cyan or grey region can open the interior, but another enclosed pick only adds a waiting box. Keep the cut-off colors in the queue until their boundaries are removed. If you have already filled every slot, you cannot select another box: wait for any reachable colors already working to finish. On the next attempt, preserve room by using only two or three active, accessible colors at a time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you beat Food Hunt level 445?
Start cyan and grey, leaving the other 3 slots available while the outer pixels are eaten. Work through the 10 colors by access, bringing in red and white after their neighbors clear, then finishing the dark grey, green, blue, light red and pale orange regions.
Which color should start level 445?
Cyan goes first because it covers the largest area among the 10 colors and takes longest to finish. Grey is second, removing the surrounding layer that keeps red and other inner colors inaccessible.
Why is the red box counter not moving?
Red pixels are surrounded by grey, white and 6 other neighboring colors. The ants need that surrounding work completed before they can reach the remaining red, so the box waits instead of finishing early.
Which colors are likely to get stuck?
The 7 enclosed colors are white, red, dark grey, green, blue, light red and pale orange. Their pixels are mostly or fully behind neighbors, so delay their boxes until the cyan-and-grey opening gives the ants a path.
Can you choose colors outside the bottom queue?
The bottom queue determines your selections, including when cyan and grey become available. If one of those 2 planned opening colors is missing, use the largest reachable color on offer and return to the opening plan when it appears.
What if waiting boxes fill every slot?
With all 5 slots occupied, wait for reachable colors already working to empty before another pick is possible. Prevent that crowding by keeping just 2-3 accessible boxes active, using cyan and grey to expose the enclosed white and red regions.
