Banana Eats puzzle solutions: How to Solve Every Puzzle in Roblox

Banana Eats puzzle solutions allow runners to deduct time from the match countdown in RyCitrus's popular Roblox horror survival game. Completing regular puzzles removes 30 seconds from the match clock, while completing the Cake puzzle deducts a full minute (60 seconds). Because exits open automatically when the round timer reaches 1:00, completing puzzles as fast as possible is the primary way to escape before the killer Banana catches you.

Each map spawns four or five puzzles in random positions. Unfinished puzzles display a red exclamation point above them, which turns into a green exclamation point once solved.

Cake Puzzle Solution

The Cake puzzle requires runners to locate small slices of cake resting on plates scattered across the map and bring them back to the large serving platter.

• Platter Spawns: Each map features exactly two fixed spawn points where the large cake platter can appear (such as the gym or library in Peeled High School, or near the bottom staircase / top floor exit in Banana Manor).
• Slices Needed: The platter starts with one slice already in place. Runners need to collect and deliver 7 additional slices to complete the cake.
• Extra Slice: The game spawns a total of 8 slices on the map. The 8th slice exists so that players can still finish the puzzle if another runner hoards a slice, or to award extra experience points (2 XP per slice returned) to anyone grinding levels.
• Early Advantage: Unlike all other puzzles, the Cake puzzle is not covered in slime at the start of a match. Runners can pick up slices and add them to the platter immediately, even before the Banana finishes spawning into the round.

Be cautious when delivering cake slices. Bananas frequently patrol or trap platter locations with banana peels to catch runners delivering their slices.

Valve Puzzle Solution

The Valve puzzle consists of three separate wheel valves hidden throughout the map. Often, two valves spawn relatively close to each other, while the third spawns further away.

1. Approach a valve wheel and interact with it repeatedly.
2. Continue clicking or tapping until the arrow rotates fully to the right side and turns green.
3. Check the indicator lights above the wheel. The three dots indicate total progress: one green light means one valve is done, two means two are done, and three means the entire puzzle is finished.
4. Locate and turn all three valves to trigger the 30-second time deduction.

Each valve turned counts toward player experience and daily quest progress, but the 30-second match deduction does not apply until all three valves are completely activated. Turning a valve produces a loud creaking sound that can alert nearby players and the Banana to your exact position.

Code Cracker (Number Puzzle) Solution

The Code Cracker puzzle requires players to scout the environment for a hidden 3-digit code and enter those exact numbers into a wall-mounted keypad terminal.

• Finding the Code: The 3-digit number sequence spawns randomly on various surfaces across the map. Look on walls, floors near exit doors, benches, classroom desks, and conveyor belts.
• Number Range: The numbers on the keypad range from 1 to 7 (a past update nerfed this from 1 to 8).
• Entering the Code: Approach the terminal and click each digit until it matches the code you discovered in the arena.
• Timing Restriction: If you find the code written on a wall or floor before the Banana spawns, the numbers will appear indecipherable. The code only displays its true digits once the Banana has fully entered the match.

When playing with teammates, typing the 3-digit code into team chat immediately after finding it saves time and allows anyone near the terminal to complete it instantly.

Picture Puzzle Solution

The Picture puzzle is an interactive image board divided into a 4x4 grid (16 tiles total). The scrambled board typically displays an image of a cake or a banana peel.

• Solving Method: Click or tap on individual red-outlined tiles to rotate them. Once a tile reaches its correct orientation, its border switches from red to green.
• Completion: Continue rotating every piece until all 16 tiles show green borders. Once the full picture is properly aligned, the puzzle completes and deducts 30 seconds from the timer.
• Solo Recommendation: It is best to work on Picture puzzles alone. If multiple players click the same puzzle simultaneously, teammates can accidentally rotate already-aligned pieces back into an incorrect position.

Maps can occasionally spawn two separate Picture puzzles during the same match, giving your team an opportunity to shave a full minute off the clock using image boards alone.

Puzzle Mechanics and Banana Alert Rules

Understanding how puzzles behave during a round helps runners avoid getting caught:

• Slime Lock: At the start of every match, the Valve, Code Cracker, and Picture puzzles are coated in green slime and cannot be interacted with until the Banana spawns. Only the Cake puzzle can be worked on during the opening seconds.
• Location Broadcast: When any puzzle is completed, a loud gong sound effect plays, and a floating jigsaw puzzle piece icon appears directly above the completed station. This icon is visible through walls to everyone in the match—including the Banana. Immediately run and hide after completing a puzzle, as the Banana will often head directly toward the jigsaw marker to hunt runners.
• Banana Obstruction: The Banana player cannot directly interact with, reset, or damage puzzles. However, the Banana can physically block access by standing directly in front of terminals or dropping banana peel traps along doorways, vents, and platter stations.
• The Final Minute: Once puzzle completions drop the match timer to 1:00, the escape doors unlock. At this point, all remaining runners drop to a single heart, the Banana receives an instant-kill bite, and player outlines become visible to the killer. Move directly toward the exits as soon as the 1:00 mark is triggered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Banana solve or reset puzzles in Banana Eats?

No. The Banana cannot solve puzzles, turn valves, carry cake slices, or reverse progress made by runners. However, Bananas can place peel traps around puzzle stations or body-block access to prevent runners from interacting with them.

What happens when the round timer reaches 1:00 from solving puzzles?

The exit doors open immediately, signaling the final escape phase. At 1:00, every runner's health is automatically reduced to one heart, and the Banana gains the ability to eliminate any player with a single bite while tracking survivor locations.

Why are the puzzles covered in green slime at the start of a match?

Puzzles are locked behind green slime during the pre-round phase while the game selects the Banana. As soon as the Banana spawns into the map, the slime disappears, the Code Cracker digits become readable, and all puzzle stations unlock. The Cake puzzle is the only exception that can be worked on before the Banana spawns.
