Brain Out 2 Level 45

Overview

Level 45 says "Find Popcorn." A woman stands bored behind a stove, holding a spatula, with an empty-looking pan heating on the burner. A closed refrigerator stands to the left, and a shelf with bowls is on the wall. There are no popcorn kernels visible on the counter. The kernels are inside the fridge; open it, take out the corn, and put it in the hot pan so it pops.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 2

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the goal. You need to make / find popcorn, but the pan on the stove has nothing popping.

1. Look around the counter. There are no corn kernels on the stove or table.

1. Open the refrigerator. Tap the fridge doors to open them. Inside are various foods.

1. Take out the corn. Find the corn / popcorn kernels among the fridge contents and take them out.

1. Put the corn into the hot pan. Drop the kernels into the already-heated frying pan on the burner.

1. The corn pops. The kernels heat up and pop, filling the pan with fluffy popcorn and a few pieces flying out.

1. Confirm the clear. The woman's eyes light up with stars and the prompt reads "You got a hot popcorn!" The green next button appears.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a "the ingredient is hidden in the fridge" puzzle. The pan is on and hot, which makes you think it is already cooking something — but there is nothing in it to pop. The word "Find" tells you to locate the missing ingredient rather than wait.

Because no corn is sitting on the counter, you must open the refrigerator. The fridge holds the raw corn needed for the pan. Once the kernels go into the hot oil, they pop on their own, turning the empty pan into a full bowl of popcorn. The shelf of bowls and the spatula are just kitchen scenery.

The reward "You got a hot popcorn!" confirms the sequence: open fridge → get corn → cook. The lesson is to check the refrigerator when the ingredient is not out on the counter. Once the pan is full of fluffy popcorn, the level clears.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: waiting at the stove. An empty pan will not make popcorn by itself.
• Mistake: searching the bowl shelf. The bowls are empty and not the ingredient.
• Mistake: ignoring the fridge. The corn is inside the refrigerator. Open it, take out the corn, and drop it into the hot pan; once the pan fills with popcorn and the woman is surprised, the level clears.

Replay Notes

When you replay this level, resist the obvious first instinct: the surface objects and the character's complaints are usually a distraction, and the real solution is hidden in an interactive detail most players never touch. Work through the scene once normally to see what the game allows you to drag, swipe, or shake, then combine the objects in an unexpected order rather than using them where they seem to belong. If you get stuck, remember that Brain Out 2 levels rarely require complex chains — the answer is almost always one counter-intuitive gesture applied to something on screen. Reset, ignore the noise, and look for the single movable item that does not look like a tool.
