Brain Blow Level 88
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
A smartphone lies in the middle of a messy pile of school books, loose sheets, an open notebook, and a pencil, and the prompt warns that Dad is coming and asks you to hide the phone. The obvious idea is to slide a book over the phone, but the books and papers are scattered around rather than serving as covers. The hidden interaction is a long press on the phone itself: holding your finger on it for a few seconds makes the phone disappear from view.

- Estimated moves: 1
Step-by-Step Solution
- Read the prompt saying Dad is coming and the phone must be hidden, and locate the smartphone in the center of the scattered books and papers.
- Do not drag the orange book, green book, or loose sheets over the phone as a cover. None of the surrounding stationery slides on top of it, and moving the books does not hide the device.
- Place your finger directly on the phone and hold it down without lifting. Keep the finger pressed on the screen rather than tapping once.
- Hold the press for a few seconds while the phone stays under your finger. The long-press gesture is what the level recognizes as hiding the device.
- After the held press completes, the phone is hidden and the green checkmark appears over the spot where it lay, with the completion screen confirming Dad will not find it.
- The several-second hold distinguishes this from a normal selection tap: lifting after one quick touch leaves the phone in place, so keep the contact steady until the conceal action finishes. The scattered textbooks, sheets, notebook, and pencil remain where they are throughout, which confirms they were never used as a cover. Once the device disappears, the checkmark appears over its original position, and no book or paper needs to be moved to complete the hiding.
Strategy & Reasoning
The level frames the situation as hiding an object from a parent, which suggests covering it with something nearby. The books and papers are placed around the phone to invite that wrong approach, but they are ordinary scattered items and cannot be stacked over the device. The real trigger is the phone itself responding to a sustained touch.
This matches other long-press interactions in the game, where holding a finger on an object for several seconds performs an action that a quick tap does not. A single tap on the phone leaves it in place, so the key detail is the duration of the press. Once the device is concealed, the checkmark appears over the pile, and the surrounding books remain exactly where they were, confirming that they were never the hiding place.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Long-press the phone itself; do not try to cover it with the books or papers scattered around it.
- Keep your finger held for several seconds after touching the phone; a quick tap will not trigger the hide action.
- Watch for the checkmark over the phone's position, which appears once the device has been hidden.
