Brain Out Level 188

Overview

Level 188 says "Find chick." The board shows three fluffy clouds floating across a daytime sky, two tufts of grass on the ground, and a small gray hat tucked beside one tuft. If you wait, the scene turns to night: a crescent moon appears and a tired mother duck appears on the ground with a puff of smoke beside her. None of that is the puzzle. The chick is not hidden in the clouds, in the grass, under the hat, or next to the mother duck. The Brain Out twist is that the word "chick" itself, printed in the question at the top of the screen, is the chick. You tap that word directly.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the scene. There are clouds, grass, a hat, and eventually a mother duck with a smoke puff. None of these contains a visible chick.
2. Tap around the clouds, the grass, and the hat. Nothing happens. If you wait long enough, the sky darkens and a mother duck appears, but tapping her or the smoke also does nothing.
3. Look up at the question text at the top of the screen: "Find chick." The word "chick" is printed in black letters.
4. Tap the word "chick" directly in that question line. A green check mark appears over the word, and the level is solved.
5. There is no Next button to chase; the level-complete state is triggered by the tap itself.
6. The word chick is printed inside the title at the top of the screen. Tap that word directly, not any drawing on the scene.

The word chick is capitalized inside the title phrase at the top of the screen. Tap the letters themselves, not the empty cage on the scene.
The word chick is capitalized inside the title phrase at the top of the screen. Tap the letters themselves, not the empty cage on the scene. The chick jumps out of the cage as soon as the word is touched.
If the pop-up does not appear on your first attempt, repeat the action described above; the level triggers completion the moment the required object is placed or the required gesture finishes.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle is a "tap the prompt" trick. Brain Out has used this pattern several times: when the question asks you to find something, that thing's name is often sitting in the question text. The clouds, grass, hat, and mother duck are all set dressing to make you search the scene. The mother duck appearing at night is an especially strong distraction, because it looks like she should be the one hiding the chick under her wing. This level follows Brain Out's signature rule: the obvious action rarely works, and the solution usually involves either moving an on-screen object that looks fixed, using a hardware button, or treating the prompt text itself as a draggable element. Once you recognize the pattern, the trick becomes easy to spot.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Searching the clouds, grass, hat, or mother duck. The chick is not hidden in the scene; it is in the question text.
• Waiting for the night scene hoping the chick appears. The mother duck at night is a decoy, not a hiding place.
• Tapping the words "Find" or the period. Only the word "chick" triggers the win.
