Brain Out 2 Level 175
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
A man stands beside an empty aquarium holding a mug, scratching his head and asking where his fish went. A chubby orange cat sits on a stool next to the tank licking its lips. The solved screen says "You bad cat!" — meaning the cat ate the fish. The trick is that the fish is not hidden in the room; it is inside the cat, and you have to make that obvious by interacting with the cat.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Estimated moves: 2–3
Step-by-Step Solution
- Search the room first. Look around the aquarium and the room; there is no fish swimming anywhere and no loose fish anywhere. The tank is clearly empty.
- Notice the suspect. The cat sitting on the stool beside the tank is licking its lips, looking guilty and satisfied at the same time.
- Interact with the cat. Drag, flip, or tap the cat to expose what it has done.
- Reveal the truth. The cat swallowed the fish. The "You bad cat!" result appears, blaming the cat for eating the missing fish.
Strategy & Reasoning
The aquarium is empty and the only nearby creature is a cat that just licked its mouth. Brain Out turns the obvious suspect into the answer: the cat ate the fish. Rather than searching drawers or the trash, you expose the cat as the culprit by moving it and revealing the fish inside it.
The visual clues all point at the cat: it is sitting right next to the empty tank, it is licking its chops, and it looks pleasantly full. Searching the room is a waste of time because the fish was never hidden — it was eaten. The humour of the level is that the answer has been sitting on the stool the whole time, looking guilty, and you simply had to stop searching the environment and accuse the animal.
Why search the room when the answer is the animal? The aquarium is visibly empty, and the only living thing nearby is a cat that is licking its lips and looking satisfied rather than hungry. That combination — empty tank plus a smug cat — is the whole clue. Brain Out loves turning the obvious suspect into the culprit, so the longer you spend opening drawers and checking the trash, the more you ignore the cat sitting in plain sight. Moving or flipping the cat exposes that it swallowed the fish whole, which is why the man's missing pet is not hidden anywhere in the room at all.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: searching the room. Do not check the trash can or the wall pictures; they are not hiding the fish.
- Tip: The cat is the culprit; interact with it directly rather than hunting elsewhere.
- Troubleshooting: If tapping the cat does nothing, try dragging or flipping it over to expose the swallowed fish.
- Note: Once the cat is exposed as having eaten the fish, the level clears immediately.
