▶ Play Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles

Overview

Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles isn't a game you can brute-force — every level is a stand-alone riddle whose "right" answer is designed to defy your first instinct. This walkthrough overview won't spoil each puzzle; instead it teaches the recurring trick patterns so you can reason your way to the solution. Because Unico Studio has re-ordered and added levels across updates, focus on recognizing the type of trick a puzzle is using rather than memorizing a level number.

How Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles levels work

Linear sequence of standalone trick-question levels, each with one correct solution (275 (browser/Poki); 400+ in the mobile app).

6 Question: "I overtook the 2nd placed racer, what is my position?" — the answer is 2nd, since you take the place of whoever you passed. video

Stage-by-stage strategy

Early levels (roughly 1-30): learn the core tricks

The opening levels teach the game's grammar: dragging objects off-screen or onto each other, tapping hidden items, and reading questions literally. Expect classics like picking the visually largest animal, moving clouds to reveal the sun, or realizing the 'closest' object is the word next to your face. Get comfortable interacting with every element — these tutorial-style puzzles reward curiosity over logic.

Wordplay and counting puzzles

A large share of levels hinge on language and miscounting. When a puzzle asks 'how many' of something, drag overlapping items apart first — objects are stacked to trick you. When a question leans on a specific word ('us', 'left', 'the smallest'), suspect a pun and try tapping or moving that word itself. Racing and ranking questions such as 'I overtook 2nd place' almost always have a counter-intuitive answer.

Gesture and physics puzzles

Mid-to-late levels borrow from the real world: you may need to swipe to blow something away, pinch to shrink an object, rotate the scene, or (in the mobile app) shake or tilt the device. If a level references light, wind, gravity or mixing, match it with the physical gesture. On desktop these map to click-drag and multi-click; on mobile, remember you can use more than one finger at once.

Hard levels and using hints

Later puzzles chain several tricks together or hide the key object completely, so test everything systematically: tap each item, drag things off-screen, and check behind the question box and UI. Save your hint currency for these genuinely obscure levels rather than spending it early. If you are truly stuck, a reputable per-level solutions site can unblock a single puzzle without spoiling the rest.

Tips to beat Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles faster

  • Take the question literally and hunt for double meanings or puns — Brain Test loves wordplay.
  • Try moving the question text and on-screen UI themselves; the answer is sometimes hidden behind or inside them.
  • On counting puzzles, separate overlapping objects first — items are deliberately stacked to fool you.
  • If a level references the real world (light, wind, gravity, shaking), try the matching gesture like swiping, tilting or pinching.
  • Save hints for the genuinely obscure levels rather than burning them early, and don't be afraid to try 'silly' solutions.

Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles walkthrough FAQ

How many levels are there and can I replay them?

The browser version has 275 levels and the mobile app has 400+ with updates. You progress in order and can revisit solved levels from the level map.

Do the level numbers match every walkthrough?

Not always. Unico Studio has re-ordered and added levels over time, so a solution listed under 'Level 40' on one site may sit a few numbers off in your version. Match by the puzzle question, not the number.

Is it cheating to use hints?

No — the in-game hint button is part of the design and exists precisely for the levels meant to stump you.
