Brain Find Level 5
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 5, subtitled "Where is the candy!", shows a yellow caulking/syringe gun in the upper half of a blank screen, with a small loose blue piece floating separately below it. At the bottom, a preview circle displays the target: a pink wrapped candy. The two visible items do not look like candy at all, which is the puzzle. The key observation is that the caulk gun has an open nozzle with nothing attached, while the blue piece on the floor has exactly the right shape to plug into that nozzle. The core mechanic is assembling a tool and then operating it to eject a hidden item. The overall approach is to treat the caulk gun as a loaded dispenser: fit the missing blue tip onto its nozzle, then press the plunger to squeeze out the candy that is concealed inside the tube.

Step-by-Step Solution
- Study the scene. Notice the yellow caulk/syringe gun lying at an angle, with a T-shaped plunger on its left end and an open gray nozzle on its right end. Below it floats a loose blue piece that looks like a small rounded nozzle. The bottom preview tells you the goal is a pink wrapped candy.
- Do not tap the loose blue piece by itself, and do not tap the gun's body expecting a reaction. Neither object works alone; the gun has no tip fitted, so it cannot dispense anything yet.
- Drag the loose blue piece over to the open gray nozzle of the caulk gun and release it there so that it snaps onto the tip. Once fitted, the blue piece forms an extension on the end of the nozzle, completing the gun.
- Now operate the caulk gun by pressing its plunger / pushing the T-handle (or pressing the gun body) to squeeze the contents out through the fitted nozzle. The candy that was hidden inside the tube gets pushed out.
- The moment the candy emerges, the game confirms the answer. A "Good" banner appears with the message "Give me the candy!", and the pink wrapped candy is shown enlarged in the center circle. The level is complete.
Strategy & Reasoning
This level extends the logic introduced in level 4: objects on screen are not always what they appear, and combining or operating them reveals the hidden answer. The caulk gun looks like a random tool, but it is really a dispenser holding the candy. The small blue piece looks like an unrelated trinket, but it is actually the missing nozzle required for the gun to function. Recognizing that the two pieces belong together is the central insight.
The reason a player gets stuck is that they treat the blue piece and the gun as separate, unrelated items and never think to plug one into the other. Once the nozzle is attached, the natural follow-through is to press the gun, exactly as you would squeeze a real syringe or caulk gun. This dispenses whatever is loaded inside — in this case, the candy the request asks for. The solution video shows the player joining the blue tip to the nozzle and then pressing the gun, after which the candy is accepted.
Alternative approaches fail because they skip the assembly. Tapping the blue piece alone does nothing, and tapping the gun without the tip does nothing, since the game requires both the correct attachment and the dispensing press. There is no candy hidden behind either object this time; it is inside the dispenser, and you must load and operate the tool to get it out.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Common mistake: ignoring the loose blue piece and trying to press the caulk gun anyway. The gun needs its nozzle fitted first; without the blue tip attached, pressing it does not release the candy.
- Common mistake: tapping the blue piece expecting it to turn into the candy. It is a nozzle, not the candy itself. You must attach it to the gun and then squeeze the gun to eject the candy.
- Common mistake: looking for the candy behind the objects. Unlike level 4, the candy is not hidden underneath anything; it is concealed inside the dispenser. Assemble and operate the gun to make it appear.
