Pixel Hunt Puzzles?

While doing homeshcooling for my 2nd grader, there was an exercise where they had to color specific squares in a number grid based off of a list of numbers. At the end of it it would make a pattern or spell a simple message like “hi”. He had fun doing it, so I thought it could be interesting to expand on that with a larger number grid as well as a few colors.

I landed on 16x16 as you can get some pretty fun images out of that grid size.

Here are a handful of puzzles I put together. Hope to make more of these and share with others!

The key to the Pixel Hunt Puzzle is take your time and enjoy the process.

Fun fact: the name “Pixel Hunt” is based on the point-and-click adventure game trope of pixel hunting. This is where you have to locate a very specific object on the screen that is so small, with no clues to where or what it is, that you’re literally combing through the scene one pixel at a time to see if the mouseOver event will change. I hated those puzzles.
