Introduction
Brain Test: Tricky Puzzle (by Unico Studio) is a continually expanding puzzle game that mixes lateral-thinking riddles, hidden-object tasks and gesture-based mini-puzzles. Official store pages and developer material confirm it’s actively updated with hundreds of levels and daily challenges.
Walkthroughs are useful, but the most effective approach is combining a reliable level index with a strategy for learning the common tricks the game uses. In this guide you’ll find how walkthroughs are structured, sample solutions for frequent puzzle archetypes, and best practices to use walkthroughs without spoiling the fun.
How walkthroughs are organized (and how to use them efficiently)
Most community and fan walkthroughs organize answers in one of these ways:
- Level number index (Level 1 → Level N).
- Episode/Story grouping when the developer bundles levels into chapters.
- Daily challenge lists (Day 1 → Day X) for the rotating daily puzzles.
When using an external walkthrough:
- Search by the exact level text (copy a short phrase from the in-game prompt) — that matches walkthrough sites or video titles faster than searching the level number.
- Prefer resources that show a screenshot or a short video clip — images ensure you’re looking at the same version (developers occasionally shuffle answers between updates).
Common puzzle categories — what to expect in a full walkthrough
Rather than memorizing thousands of answers, learn the categories that repeat across levels — most walkthroughs will label or implicitly follow these categories:
- Lateral-thinking / wordplay: Answers hide in the question text or use puns. (E.g., move letters, combine words.)
- Hidden object / drag & drop: Tap, drag, pinch or move off-screen objects to reveal the answer.
- Gesture puzzles: Multi-finger gestures, long-press, shake your device, or rotate the phone.
- Math/Sequence puzzles: Non-standard arithmetic or pattern recognition — look for a trick (reverse order, hidden digit).
- Optical illusions / alignment tasks: Match shapes or align images by dragging or rotating elements.
Recognizing the category of a level usually reduces the time to solve it by 60–80% — walkthroughs then become a last-resort check.
Example solutions (representative, not exhaustive)
Below are short, representative examples showing how walkthrough answers are presented and why they work. Use them to train your pattern recognition rather than memorizing.
- “Put the elephant in the fridge” — solution: tap the fridge, drag the elephant inside, close the door. (Classic drag-and-drop.)
- “Which is the biggest?” — solution: tap the visually biggest animal (sometimes the trick is the on-screen image, not biological fact).
- Level that reads like: ‘I saw this riddle on reddit’ (Where is the bull?) — solution frequently requires rearranging letters shown in the image or moving a word fragment into place. Community walkthroughs and video clips are the most reliable way to verify these tricky text manipulations.
How walkthroughs and videos stay updated
Because Unico Studio periodically adds levels and daily puzzles, active walkthrough sites and YouTube channels post updates as new content arrives. Look for:
- Date stamps on the walkthrough page or video.
- Version notes or “levels updated to X” on the walkthrough index.
- Authors or channels that refresh pages after major updates — these are usually the fastest to reflect developer changes.
Avoiding spoilers while still using a walkthrough
If you want help but not complete spoilage:
- Use the hint part of the walkthrough (a one-line nudge) rather than the full step-by-step.
- Search for short video clips that show just the final step. Pause before the reveal if you want to think longer.
- Bookmark a trustworthy index and search only when you’ve tried all logical gestures.
When a walkthrough is necessary (and when it isn’t)
Use a walkthrough if:
- You’ve tried obvious gestures (drag, pinch, long-press, rotate) and lateral re-readings of the prompt.
- The level uses wordplay that requires rearranging letters or tapping text.
Skip the walkthrough if: - You’re practicing lateral thinking — taking time to struggle can improve future solves.
Final Thoughts
A complete walkthrough is a powerful tool — but it’s most effective when used as a learning resource instead of an answer dump. Learn the recurring puzzle categories, test likely gestures first, and then consult a trusted, frequently updated walkthrough or short video to confirm the final step. Reliable walkthrough hubs and video channels update with new levels and are the best places to get exact answers when you need them.
