Brain Find Level 31
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 31, subtitled "Buzz, buzz, buzz," asks you to deal with a swarm of annoying flies. Five cartoon houseflies buzz around the upper half of a white screen, and along the bottom sit three unrelated objects: a pink wrapped candy, a pile of brown poop, and a broken rotten egg with yolk spilling out. The circular goal icon at the bottom shows a dead, squashed fly with X eyes lying on its back. The core mechanic is swatting: the flies are moving targets, and the only way to complete the level is to kill one. The overall approach is to tap / swat the flying flies until one is squashed, ignoring the food and waste props along the bottom.

Step-by-Step Solution
- Look at the starting scene. The title "Buzz, buzz, buzz" is at the top. Five green-grey houseflies with big eyes are scattered across the middle of the screen, gently bobbing in the air. Along the bottom are a pink candy, a poop, and a cracked rotten egg. The goal icon shows a dead fly, so your job is to kill one of the buzzing ones.
- Ignore the three bottom objects. The candy, the poop, and the rotten egg look like they might be bait — and it is true that flies are drawn to smelly things rather than sweets — but in this level you do not drag any of them around. They are placed there to tempt you into a lure-and-trap idea that the game does not use, so leave them on the ground.
- Swat at the flies by tapping directly on them. Bring your tap down onto a fly's body to squash it. Because the flies are drifting side to side, a tap that is aimed slightly late will miss, and the fly will keep buzzing.
- Keep swatting at the flies until one of them connects. The intermediate state of the solution shows exactly the result you are aiming for: one fly has been squashed flat on the ground, lying in a small red splat with X eyes, while the remaining flies continue to buzz in the air above it.
- Once a fly is dead, the game registers the kill. A yellow success screen appears with a large "Good" ribbon and the message "Perseverance, you are so amazing!", and the squashed fly is shown inside the circular frame. The level is complete.
Strategy & Reasoning
The title repeats "buzz, buzz, buzz" to put you in mind of an irritating fly you want to slap. The goal icon removes any ambiguity about the desired end state: a dead, belly-up fly, not a fly lured somewhere or caught in a trap. This rules out the elaborate idea suggested by the bottom row.
The three props are a deliberate distraction layer. A player who reasons "flies love smelly stuff" will try to drag the poop or the rotten egg over to the flies to gather them, and may also dismiss the candy as something flies dislike. But the intermediate frame of the solution shows all three props still sitting untouched along the bottom, while a fly lies squashed on the ground — proving that no luring happened. The props exist only to make you overthink a problem that is, at heart, a simple swat. The encouragement message on the success screen, "Perseverance, you are so amazing," reinforces this: the challenge is not a clever trick but the patience to keep tapping at moving targets.
Alternative approaches fail for concrete reasons. Dragging the candy, the poop, or the egg onto a fly does not kill it; it only moves a prop. Waiting for the flies to land does nothing, because they never settle. Tapping the empty air whiffs harmlessly. The winning idea is therefore to keep swatting the flies themselves until a tap lands, which is exactly what the demonstrated solution does.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Common mistake: trying to use the poop or the rotten egg as fly bait. The props are never dragged; the game expects you to swat the flies directly, so do not waste time luring them.
- Common mistake: tapping too early or too late at a drifting fly. The flies move, so aim slightly ahead of where a fly is heading rather than exactly where it was a moment ago.
- Common mistake: giving up after one or two misses. The level rewards persistence; keep swatting at the buzzing flies until a tap connects and one drops to the ground with a splat.
