Hole People Level 17 Walkthrough & Guide
Welcome to Hole People Level 17, where your mission is to strategically fill colored people into matching holes while managing limited slot space and defusing bombs before they explode. This level challenges players to develop strategic thinking and efficient space management skills.
This walkthrough guide provides expert strategic puzzle strategies for Hole People Level 17, detailing every placement tip, space management technique, and bomb defusing principle needed to complete the level successfully.
Step 1. Break the Cycle
The entire puzzle is deadlocked. The only way to start is to move one person aside. Move the GREEN_PERSON_1 from the top left queue into the temporary hole.
💡 Tip: When you see a circular dependency (A blocks B, B blocks C, C blocks A), the key is almost always to move one piece to a temporary location.
Step 2. Initiate the Chain Reaction
With the green person moved, BLUE_PERSON_1 is now free. Move it to the blue hole. This action will, in turn, free up the next person in the chain.
💡 Tip: Each move you make should unblock the next logical piece.
Step 3. Unravel the Deadlock
Continue the sequence: Move RED_PERSON_1 into the red hole. This frees the GREEN_PERSON_2, which you should move into the green hole.
💡 Tip: Focus on clearing the newly unblocked person at each step.
Step 4. Clear the Second Layer
Now that the first layer of the deadlock is solved, clear the remaining people. Move BLUE_PERSON_2 into the blue hole and RED_PERSON_2 into the red hole.
💡 Tip: The puzzle becomes much simpler after the initial deadlock is broken.
Step 5. Complete the Level
Finally, move the GREEN_PERSON_1 from the temporary hole into the last available slot in the green hole to finish the puzzle.
💡 Tip: Never forget the piece you've placed in temporary storage!

Identify the circular blocking pattern before making any moves.
The temporary hole is not just extra space; it's the key to the entire puzzle.

Hole People Level 17 Common Mistakes:
Trying to find a way to move people directly into their colored holes, which is impossible at the start.

Forgetting about the person in the temporary hole after unraveling the rest of the puzzle.
