Tap a color. Send a team. Clear a pixel picture, one block at a time. Ant Picnic is a color-matching puzzle with tiny ant teams and a table full of colorful pictures. Tap the team at the front of a queue to collect matching pieces and carry them back to the nest. Clear the outer pieces to open paths to the colors inside. PLAN BEFORE YOU TAP Working slots are limited. Choose the order of your teams and leave room for the next color. Hidden teams reveal their color at the front of the queue. Linked teams need two neighboring slots, which stay occupied until both teams finish. 40 PICTURES TO COLLECT Solve picnic-themed puzzles featuring ice cream, fruit, animals, and more.
