Brain Out 2 Level 87

Overview

Level 87 asks "Who is the scumbag?" Four figures are shown: a lone glamorous woman in a red dress on the top left, and three couples. The top-right couple wears matching yellow T-shirts and both sport sunglasses; the bottom-left couple takes a selfie; the bottom-right man talks on his phone while walking with his partner. The puzzle is to spot the unfaithful partner among the three men. The victory line, "Where are your eyes looking!", reveals the tell: a man whose gaze is wandering at the glamorous woman even while standing next to his own girlfriend.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at every man. There are three men: the top-right man in the yellow T-shirt, the bottom-left man in a suit, and the bottom-right older man on the phone. The lone woman in the red dress is the object of suspicion, not a suspect.

1. Notice the sunglasses. Two people are hiding their eyes behind sunglasses: the top-right man and the woman beside him. Sunglasses in this kind of puzzle hide a tell.

1. Remove the top-right man's sunglasses. Drag or tap the sunglasses off the man in the yellow shirt. His eyes are revealed as heart-shaped, fixed in the direction of the glamorous red-dress woman.

1. Watch the reaction. The moment his heart eyes are exposed, his girlfriend beside him gets furious — flames appear over her head as she grabs his ear. The lone woman sparkles, confirming she is what he was staring at.

1. Confirm. The screen says "Where are your eyes looking!" identifying the yellow-shirted man as the scumbag. The level is cleared.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a hidden-clue observation puzzle. On the surface all three couples look happy, and the selfie couple and the phone couple appear normal. The only oddity is the sunglasses — why would a couple wearing matching casual outfits both wear shades indoors? That detail marks them as the couple to inspect.

Brain Out repeatedly uses "remove the disguise" as its core gesture. The sunglasses are not a fashion choice; they are covering the man's eyes. Once they come off, his heart-shaped eyes give him away: he is gazing at another woman while holding hands with his girlfriend. The girlfriend's angry reaction is the game's confirmation that this is the right pick.

The other two men are decoys. The selfie man is focused on his photo, and the man on the phone is occupied with a call; neither is visually sneaking glances. The scumbag is found not by guessing which man looks shifty, but by literally uncovering the hidden eyes that betray him.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: accusing the obvious couples. The selfie couple and the phone couple look suspicious at first, but there is no hidden clue on them. Do not tap them.
• Mistake: removing the woman's sunglasses. The woman next to him also wears shades, but the tell belongs to the man. Take off the man's sunglasses to reveal his heart eyes.
• Mistake: picking the red-dress woman. She is the object of his wandering gaze, not the scumbag. The guilty party is the boyfriend checking her out.
