Brain Blow Level 56

Overview

A closed wooden treasure chest sits at the bottom of the screen, its front showing a small keyhole lock. Above it hang three loose tools: a yellow key, a paperclip, and a safety pin. The prompt asks you to open the chest, which pushes you toward picking a lockpick or key, but the tools turn out to be distractors. The latch releases when the lid itself is lifted straight up, revealing the coins stored inside.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 1

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the prompt asking you to open the chest, and look at the three tools lined up above it: the yellow key on the left, the paperclip in the center, and the safety pin on the right. The keyhole on the chest makes the key look like the obvious choice.

1. Do not assume the key belongs to this lock. If you drag the yellow key into the keyhole, it does not turn or release the latch, and a red rejection mark appears over the lock, showing that this key does not fit.

1. Leave the paperclip and the safety pin where they are as well; neither needs to be placed into the lock, and they are kept above the chest rather than being used as picks.

1. Press and hold your finger on the curved chest lid itself, not on the lock or the tools.

1. Swipe your finger upward along the lid to lift it off the chest body. The hinged lid swings up and back, the lock releases without any key, and the pile of coins inside the chest becomes visible.

1. Once the lid stays open above the open chest and the coins are exposed, the level recognizes the chest as opened, the checkmark appears, and the completion screen shows.

Strategy & Reasoning

The level sets up a classic lock-and-key expectation with the three tools, then removes it: the key fails, and the two small metal items look like lockpicks but are never needed. The chest's latch is a simple spring latch that gives way when the lid is pulled directly, so the puzzle rewards looking past the props to the object you actually control. This matches the chest opening on a direct upward lift rather than after any tool is inserted.

Trying every tool in turn wastes time because none of them unlocks the lock, and forcing the key only produces the rejection mark. The reliable move is to treat the lid as the handle: hold it, raise it, and let the hinge do the rest. The coins inside confirm the chest has opened for the right reason, since the level only shows the contents after the lid has been lifted clear of the body.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Do not drag the yellow key into the keyhole; it does not fit and the level shows a red rejection mark when you try it.
• Leave the paperclip and safety pin alone; they are distractors here, and picking the lock with them is not the intended action.
• Hold the lid itself and swipe upward to lift it open, rather than tapping the lock or searching for a hidden key elsewhere on the screen.
