Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles

About Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles

Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles is a lateral-thinking puzzle game from Unico Studio, first released in late 2019 and since played by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Each level poses a short, deceptively simple question, then dares you to answer it by ignoring conventional logic. The catch is that almost anything on the screen can be part of the solution: you might drag clouds aside to reveal the sun, combine two objects, move an item off-screen, or even drag the question text itself. Levels are self-contained one-shot riddles with a single correct answer, and there are no timers or score pressure, so you can experiment freely. Wrong answers simply let you try again, and a hint button helps when you are stuck. Its cartoon art, groan-worthy humor, and satisfying "aha" twists made it a defining title in the trick-question genre.

How to play Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles

1. Read the question at the top of each level, then look for the trick — the obvious answer is almost always wrong.
2. Interact with everything: tap, drag, swipe, pinch, or move objects (and sometimes the words) around the scene.
3. Combine or reposition items — dragging one object onto another, or off-screen entirely, often reveals the solution.
4. Tap the hint button (magnifying glass / lightbulb) when you are stuck to reveal a clue.
5. Solve the puzzle to advance to the next level; there are no timers, so take your time and experiment.

Controls

• Desktop: Mouse only — left-click to tap, click and drag to move objects, and drag sliders or arrows across the screen.
• Mobile / tablet: Touch controls — tap, drag, swipe and pinch; some levels ask you to use multiple fingers or, in the app, tilt/shake the device.

Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles tips & strategy

• 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.
