Brain Blow Level 87
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
A gray mouse sits in the middle of the screen with a thought bubble floating above it, and inside the bubble is a red apple. Along the bottom lie three other foods: a yellow cheese cube, a raspberry, and a strawberry. The prompt asks you to feed the mouse. The tempting choices at the bottom are distractors; what the mouse actually wants is the apple pictured in its own thought bubble, and that apple can be pulled straight out of the bubble to feed it.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Estimated moves: 1
Step-by-Step Solution
- Read the prompt asking you to feed the mouse, and look at the mouse with its thought bubble. Notice the red apple drawn inside the bubble, which shows what the mouse is craving.
- Do not drag the cheese, raspberry, or strawberry from the bottom to the mouse. These three foods are laid out as obvious-looking options, but none of them matches what the mouse is thinking about.
- Reach into the thought bubble and take hold of the red apple inside it. The apple is a movable object even though it sits inside the cloud-shaped bubble.
- Drag the apple out of the bubble and over to the mouse. Bring it to the mouse's mouth so the animal can take and eat it.
- Once the mouse has eaten the apple, the thought bubble empties and the green checkmark appears over the mouse, with the completion screen confirming it has been fed.
- Treat the picture inside the bubble as a real draggable item rather than fixed decoration: the cheese, raspberry, and strawberry stay on the ground throughout because they were never the correct food, and feeding one of them leaves the bubble unchanged. After grabbing the apple from the cloud, carry it to the mouse's mouth and let it take the food; the emptying bubble afterward confirms the pictured craving has been answered rather than one of the decoy snacks being handed over. If the mouse does not react, check that you are carrying the apple from the bubble and not a fruit or cheese from the bottom.
Strategy & Reasoning
The level points to the answer through the mouse's own thought bubble. In these puzzles, an item drawn inside a character's bubble usually marks the desired object, while the food spread along the bottom is there to distract by looking like a normal selection. The mouse is not asking for whatever food happens to be nearby; it is specifically imagining the apple.
This explains why the cheese, raspberry, and strawberry remain on the ground after the level completes: they were never the correct food. The hidden step is treating the picture inside the bubble as a real draggable item rather than a fixed decoration. Pulling that apple out and handing it to the mouse matches the craving shown in the bubble, and the checkmark appears as soon as the mouse receives it.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Take the apple from inside the thought bubble; do not feed the cheese, raspberry, or strawberry at the bottom.
- Drag the apple out of the bubble rather than tapping the mouse or the empty bubble first.
- If the mouse does not react, make sure you are carrying the apple from the bubble, since the bottom fruits are decoys.
