Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles contains more than 270 riddles designed to challenge assumptions rather than test traditional knowledge. Text, icons, empty space, and movable objects may all be part of the solution. This spoiler-light guide helps you recognize the game’s recurring logic.
Basic Controls
Use the mouse or touchscreen to select, drag, and move objects. Do not assume that a visible button is the only interactive element.
Read Every Word Literally
Many puzzles hide the clue in their wording. Check whether the question asks for the biggest object, highest number, fastest answer, or something visually different. A familiar phrase may be a distraction. Re-read the prompt after your first failed attempt and identify exactly which assumption was wrong.
Test the Screen Systematically
Try these interactions in order:
- Tap the obvious object.
- Drag objects away to reveal hidden items.
- Move words, numbers, or symbols from the question.
- Combine two objects.
- Resize or reposition elements when the device supports it.
- Check corners and areas partly covered by other artwork.
This method is faster than random tapping and teaches you which kinds of actions the game accepts.
Look for Relationships
An object may be useless alone but important when placed beside another. Food can attract an animal, a tool can change an item, and a shape may complete a picture. Ask what each element normally does, then test whether the game expects that real-world relationship.
Preserve Hints
Use hints after you have identified the type of problem but cannot finish it. Before spending one, describe the screen in plain language and list every movable item. The missing answer often becomes obvious when you separate decoration from interactive pieces.
Common Mistakes
- Treating the puzzle like a school exam
- Ignoring the wording after looking at the picture
- Assuming text cannot be moved
- Repeating the same tap instead of trying a new interaction
- Using a hint before checking underneath movable objects
- Overcomplicating a simple visual trick
FAQ
How many levels are in Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles?
Poki lists 275 levels in the game.
Are the puzzles based on normal logic?
Some are, but many rely on wordplay, hidden interactions, or deliberately misleading presentation.
Can I move objects in the question text?

What should I do when I am stuck?
Re-read the exact request, move every object once, inspect hidden areas, and test whether two elements can interact before using a hint.
Final Advice
Brain Test rewards curiosity. The correct answer is often simple once you stop obeying an assumption the puzzle never stated. Change the type of interaction before changing the complexity of your theory.
