Brain Out 2 Level 167
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 167 asks you to "Keep the teddy bear's mouth shut!". A grinning teddy bear sits in an armchair with its mouth wide open showing teeth. On the rug in front of the chair lies a small zipper with its pull tab, and a cardboard box sits on the floor. The way to stop the bear from talking is not to cover its mouth by hand — it is to use the zipper on its mouth itself, zipping it closed. The solved state shows the bear sweating and looking uncomfortable with its mouth sealed shut.

Step-by-Step Solution
- Read the task. The teddy bear's mouth is wide open and you must keep it shut. Notice how it grins with visible teeth, as if it is about to keep chattering.
- Look at the rug. Notice the small zipper lying on the round rug in front of the armchair — it is the key object, deliberately placed within reach of the chair.
- Ignore the box and the dresser. The cardboard box and the drawers are scenery and do not help. Opening the box yields nothing useful, so do not waste taps there.
- Drag the zipper to the bear's mouth. Press and hold the zipper on the rug and move it over the teddy bear's open lips, dropping it right across the opening.
- Zip the mouth shut. The zipper fastens across the bear's mouth, sealing it closed. The bear starts sweating and looking uncomfortable, uttering "Uhh! Uhh!", which confirms the mouth is now shut and the level clears.
Strategy & Reasoning
This is a playful object-use puzzle. The bear's open mouth is the problem, and the scene deliberately gives you a zipper lying on the rug. The funny solution is literally to zip the bear's mouth shut as if its face were a fabric pouch that just would not stay closed.
Players may try covering the mouth with a finger or tapping the bear, but those do nothing. The zipper is the only item on screen that can "close" a mouth in the requested way. Once the zipper is dragged onto the mouth, it fastens and the bear's muffled reaction confirms the solution. The humour comes from treating a stuffed animal's face like a zip-up bag, which is why the small loose zipper is the one prop that matters; everything else on the floor is decoration.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: tapping the bear's mouth. Tapping does nothing; the mouth stays wide open and keeps grinning.
- Mistake: opening the box. The cardboard box is a distraction and contains nothing relevant to closing the mouth.
- Mistake: missing the zipper. The small zipper on the rug is the tool. Drag it onto the teddy bear's mouth to zip it shut.
- Hint: The word "shut" is the clue — think of what physically zips something shut rather than covering it.
