Brain Find Level 30

Overview

Level 30, subtitled "Make a pot of soup," is a cooking-preparation puzzle. On a blue kitchen table there is an empty cooking pot already sitting on a lit stove, a glass jug of water, a red utensil holder with a spoon and fork, and a wooden cutting board holding a raw steak, a lemon, a tomato, and a carrot. Below the table sits a trash bin. The circular goal icon shows a steaming pot of finished soup. The core mechanic is simple drag-and-drop cooking: the pot is on fire but empty, so you must bring both water and the ingredients to it. The overall approach is to move the jug and every ingredient from the board into the pot and let the heat do the rest.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Survey the table. The title "Make a pot of soup" is at the top. In the center, a grey pot sits on a burner with orange flames already underneath, but the pot is empty. To its left are the glass water jug and the red utensil holder; to its right, on a wooden cutting board, lie a raw steak, a lemon, a tomato, and a carrot. The goal icon at the bottom shows the pot you need to end up with.

1. Recognize that the pot needs both liquid and solid ingredients. A soup cannot cook from an empty pot on its own, and the goal icon shows a full, steaming pot, so the missing pieces are the water and the food arranged around the table. The utensil holder and the trash bin are not part of the recipe.

1. Drag the glass water jug into the pot. Move the jug over the opening of the heated pot and release, pouring the water in. This supplies the liquid base the soup needs.

1. Drag each ingredient off the cutting board and into the pot, one after another: the raw steak, then the lemon, then the tomato, then the carrot. Move each item from the board into the pot's opening and let it drop in. As you add them, the cutting board gradually empties.

1. Once the water and all the ingredients are inside, the already-lit burner cooks them. The intermediate state shows the pot bubbling with yellow soup and steam rising from it, while the cutting board beside it is now bare. A yellow success screen then appears with a large "Good" ribbon and the message "Little chef!", showing the finished soup pot in the circular frame. The level is complete.

Strategy & Reasoning

This level is one of the more literal puzzles in the set, but it still tests whether you remember every component a soup requires. Players often grab only the obvious food — the steak — and drop it in, then wonder why nothing happens. The level punishes that by requiring the liquid too: without dragging the water jug in, a dry pan of meat will never become the steaming bowl of soup shown in the goal icon.

The design groups everything needed on purpose. The pot is placed center on a live burner so you focus on it, the water jug sits just left within easy reach, and the four ingredients are laid out together on the cutting board to signal that they all belong together. The red utensil holder and the trash bin are set slightly apart and never need to be touched, which keeps them from being mistaken for ingredients. The intermediate frame confirms the logic: the board is completely cleared and only the full, steaming pot remains, meaning every loose item on the board was meant to go inside.

Alternative approaches fail for specific reasons. Tapping the empty pot does nothing, because it has no contents to cook. Dragging only the steak, or only the vegetables, into the pot leaves the recipe incomplete and the game does not trigger the success. Pouring the water without adding any food also does not match the goal, since the icon clearly shows solid ingredients floating in the broth. Moving the spoon or fork from the utensil holder into the pot likewise does not count. Dropping every ingredient plus the water is therefore the intended, and only, complete sequence.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Common mistake: forgetting the water. Adding only the food to the hot pot will not make soup; drag the glass jug in first, or alongside the ingredients, to provide the liquid base.
• Common mistake: adding only some of the ingredients. The game expects the whole set — steak, lemon, tomato, and carrot — from the cutting board; leaving even one on the board leaves the recipe unfinished.
• Common mistake: touching the utensil holder or the trash bin. The spoon, fork, and bin are set dressing; the recipe uses only the jug and the four food items, so leave those props alone.
