How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 185 — Full Solution
- Tap green 52, green 52, and green 32 left to right, then wait for the ants to travel while the covered counters change from 900 / 500 to 899 / 499 and continue falling.
- Continue with green 75, 65, 70, 50, and 20. Let the long loop run through the first count drops around 47 / 47 / 27 and 37 / 37 / 17 / 16 before touching the hidden group.
- Add green 45 / 55 and the exposed orange 50 only as the lower edge opens; leave the fifth pad free while the garden remains a solid green field.
- Route cream 45, green 48 / 45, orange 50, green 20, and the small yellow and cream flower groups as the bear border begins to fragment.
- Continue the green rows around 62 / 67 / 57 / 44 / 45, then 52 / 57 / 47 / 34 / 45. Wait for each train to clear the bottom edge before opening the next covered card.
- Start the outline pass with orange 35, brown 30, green 50 / 40, and the dark-purple 49 plus brown 83 pair. These groups remove the remaining bear outline and lower branches.
- When only the canopy and outline remain, follow orange 8 / 2, yellow 11 / 6 / 4, and green 11 / 7 / 3. Keep one pad free for the last dark route.
- Finish orange 2, yellow 4–6, and green 7 / 3, then wait for the last ants and transition overlay to resolve. The video reaches the Colony Flow logo with all five pads empty.
Colors in this level:
Green, Light-green, Yellow, Cream, Orange, Brown, Dark-purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Opening the hidden group while green 75 / 65 / 70 / 50 still fills the five pads and lower rail.
- Treating the falling 900 / 500 counters as a reason to tap every visible color at once.
- Stopping when the bear becomes a canopy and outline, before the 49 / 83 pair and tiny final rows finish.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 185 (spoiler-free)
- Open green 52 / 52 / 32 left to right and let the 900 / 500 counters fall before adding hidden or orange groups.
- Continue green 75 / 65 / 70 / 50 / 20 through the long perimeter loop and keep one pad free for the outline pass.
- Do not stop at the canopy: follow dark-purple 49, brown 83, orange 2, yellow 4–6, and green 7 / 3 to the final logo.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The target is a brown teddy-bear or cat-like figure with a cream belly and pink face details, surrounded by green leaves and yellow-orange flowers. Large covered counters 900 and 500 sit over the lower-left and lower-center art and immediately fall to 899 and 499 in the video. Five white buffer pads start empty above the grid, with the brown ant hole centered below. Opening stacks include green 52 / 52 / 32, green 75 / 65 / 70 / 50 / 20, green 45 / 55, a covered group, orange 50, and green 20.
- Goal
- Green clears the garden, bear outline, and upper canopy; yellow removes flowers; cream clears the belly and pale highlights; orange strips flower accents; and dark-purple 49 with brown 83 remove the last outline and lower branches. Victory comes only after the tiny final green, yellow, and orange groups reach the hole.
- Opening
- Tap green 52, 52, and 32 left to right, then let the 900 / 500 cover counters fall while the ants travel. Continue green 75 / 65 / 70 / 50 / 20; by the first 30-second evidence the top buffers have fallen around 18 / 23 / 13 / 20 with brown 45 entering. Do not interrupt the long green wave with the covered group or orange 50.
- Danger Zone
- The third-row covered group is a deliberate wait point while green 75 / 65 / 70 / 50 is still circulating. Later, dark-purple 49 and brown 83 share the narrow route around the remaining outline; keep one pad free for the last green 40 and the tiny top-canopy groups.
- Mechanics
- This is a long counter-and-route board. The 900 / 500 covers fall gradually, the bear then collapses into a canopy and brown-purple outline, and the final minute uses small rows such as orange 2, yellow 4–6, and green 7 / 3.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should the 900 and 500 covers be handled?
Start the green 52 / 52 / 32 row and let the counters fall as the ants travel. Do not open the hidden group until the long green route has made room.
When does the 49 / 83 pair enter?
Use it after the garden and body colors have fragmented and the board is reduced to the bear canopy and brown-purple outline.
What is the true finish of Level 185?
The final visible route is tiny orange, yellow, and green groups around orange 2, yellow 4–6, and green 7 / 3; wait for them to clear and the logo to appear.
