Brain Blow Level 57
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
The screen shows several small yellow ducklings scattered around one taller brown duck with long legs, eyelashes, and an orange bill. The prompt asks you to find the mother duck, and the adult-looking brown bird is the likely candidate, but the ducklings are arranged so the mother has to be brought out from behind them before she can be selected. The interaction is a drag that shifts the ducklings aside rather than a simple tap on the first adult-looking bird.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Estimated moves: 2
Step-by-Step Solution
- Read the prompt asking you to find the mother duck, and count the yellow ducklings spread across the upper and lower parts of the screen. These small chicks are the group that can be moved around, and the adult mother is the bird hidden among or beneath them.
- Press your finger onto the ducklings and drag the group upward across the screen. Sweeping them up moves the chicks out of their original positions and reveals what was tucked behind or underneath them.
- Keep dragging until the adult brown duck separates from the ducklings and settles into a clear spot at the lower part of the screen. She is the larger bird with the brown body, long neck, orange legs, and eyelashes, which sets her apart from the round yellow chicks.
- Check that the ducklings have been shifted aside so the mother is fully visible and not partly covered by another chick. A covered bird can be missed when you tap, so clear the overlap first.
- Tap the brown adult duck to select her as the mother. The green checkmark appears over the screen and the completion screen confirms that you found the correct duck.
Strategy & Reasoning
Mother-duck puzzles in this series rely on size and markings rather than a hidden object search: the chicks are deliberately smaller and brighter, while the mother carries the adult body shape, longer neck, and eyelashes. The ducklings are movable cover, so the first visible arrangement does not give you a clean selection; moving them upward exposes the adult and keeps her from being mistaken for one of the chicks.
The brown duck cannot be tapped reliably while the ducklings overlap her, which is why the drag step comes before the selection step. Trying to tap a yellow chick by mistake, or picking the adult before she is clear of the group, will not register as the mother. Once the adult brown bird stands alone and the checkmark appears, the identification matches the adult markings the level expects.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Drag the ducklings upward to move them aside before tapping, because the mother is partly hidden behind the group rather than standing fully clear at the start.
- Select the larger brown adult duck, not one of the round yellow chicks; the eyelashes, long neck, and brown body identify the mother.
- Make sure no chick overlaps the adult before you tap, since an overlapping bird can block the selection and leave the level unfinished.
