Brain Find Level 22

Overview

This level, titled "Play with the cat," shows a single orange tabby cat sitting in the middle of a blank white screen, wearing a little blue bandana. The bottom preview shows a ball of pink yarn as the object you need. There is no yarn ball, toy, or any other object visible anywhere on screen — only the cat. The success message, "Meow! Nice job!", confirms that once you find the yarn ball the cat approves. The core mechanic is realizing the cat itself is hiding the object: it is sitting on top of the yarn ball. The overall approach is to drag the cat out of the way so the yarn ball underneath it is revealed, then collect it.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 1

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the screen. There is only the orange cat sitting in the center, and the target preview at the bottom is a pink ball of yarn. No yarn ball is visible anywhere.

1. Do not tap the cat's head, tail, or bandana repeatedly — nothing happens, because the cat is not a button to press.

1. Instead, drag the cat itself. Press and hold on the cat and slide it upward (off the center of the screen). As the cat moves, you reveal what it was sitting on.

1. The pink ball of yarn was hidden directly underneath the cat. Once the cat is dragged aside, the yarn ball is exposed on the ground where the cat was.

1. Tap the revealed yarn ball to collect it. The level completes with a "Good" banner and the message "Meow! Nice job!", and the yarn ball is shown enlarged in the center circle.

Strategy & Reasoning

This level is a simple "the object is hidden under the thing" puzzle. The designer puts only the cat on screen and asks you to "play with the cat," which makes you expect to pet or tap the cat. But the target preview is a yarn ball, and no yarn ball exists on screen. The only logical place for it to be is underneath the cat.

The hint "Play with the cat" is deliberately misleading: you think the goal is to interact with the cat directly, but the real interaction is moving the cat out of the way. In the solution video, the cat is dragged upward to the very top edge of the screen, and the pink yarn ball appears in the center where the cat had been sitting.

Because there are no other objects and no text trick, dragging the cat aside is the only action that changes the scene. Once the yarn ball is exposed, tapping it finishes the level. This is why the puzzle looks impossible at first — the answer is the cat itself covering the object you need.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Common mistake: tapping the cat over and over trying to make it meow or play. The cat is not interactive by tapping; you must drag it.
• Common mistake: searching the edges of the screen for a hidden yarn ball. The yarn ball is not off-screen — it is directly under the cat.
• Common mistake: giving up because no object is visible. Remember the target preview (pink yarn ball); since the cat is the only thing on screen, drag it away to uncover what it is sitting on.
