Brain Out Level 200
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 200 says "Let's RPS." A green robot stands above three hand icons: rock, paper, and scissors, with an OK button below. You pick one hand and tap OK. The robot reveals his hand on his screen face. Normally you have already committed, so you might lose. The Brain Out twist is that you can change your pick after seeing the robot's hand. The congratulatory line "You cheater!" is the game openly calling you out for switching your choice once you know what the robot played.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Estimated moves: 2
Step-by-Step Solution
- Pick any of the three hand icons (rock, paper, or scissors) and tap OK. The robot reveals his hand on his face screen.
- Look at what the robot played. If he showed rock, paper beats him; if he showed paper, scissors beats him; if he showed scissors, rock beats him.
- Instead of accepting your first choice, tap a different hand icon on the bottom row. Your selection switches from the original pick to the counter hand.
- Tap OK again with the new selection.
- The robot's hand is already on screen, so the game compares it to your new pick. Since you chose the counter hand, you win. The level-complete pop-up appears with the line "You cheater!" Tap Next to continue.
- Wait until the robot throws its punch, then tap your own selected sign to switch to the winning option. You must see its move before choosing.
If you pick before the robot shows its hand, you lose. Wait until its gesture appears on screen, then switch your own card to the winning hand.
Wait until the robot throws its punch, then tap your own selected sign to switch to the winning option. You must see its move before choosing; picking early always loses.
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 abuses the timing of RPS. In a normal game, both players show their hands simultaneously, so neither can adapt. Here, the robot shows his hand first, and the game lets you change your selection afterward. The three hand icons remain tappable after the reveal, which is the loophole. Most players assume the first OK locks in their choice, but the button can be pressed again after switching. 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
- Tapping OK once and waiting for the result. If your first pick loses, you just lose; switch before confirming.
- Forgetting to tap OK again after switching. The new hand needs to be confirmed.
- Trying to predict the robot's pick. There is no pattern; just reveal first, then counter.
