Brain Puzzle 3 Level 168

Overview

Level 168 is a timed revenge-prank puzzle. The yellow banner says "Help the girl prank the scumbag" with a 3:00 countdown. Inside, a blonde girl in a pink top is crying on a couch while her red-haired friend in a black halter top and polka-dot skirt comforts her; a thought bubble shows the guy getting close with another girl in the park. The scene then cuts to a night park: the cheating guy in a brown shirt and khakis sits on a bench looking at his phone. Around him: a lit lamppost, a vending machine labeled "Snack King," a seagull perched on the machine with a roll of bread, a glass cola bottle, a smelly trash can, a white dress draped on the bench, a wallet, and a garden hose attached to a water tap. The subtitle reads "Bestie, I saw him getting really close with someone else in the park." The goal is to use every park prop to prank the cheating guy.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 6

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Light his head on fire. Tap the lit lamppost; a flame jumps from it onto the guy's head, which erupts in a small fireball. The red-haired friend hides in the bush holding a stick, watching.

1. Move the smelly trash can next to him. Tap the overflowing trash can; green stink lines rise up toward him. The subtitle reads "It stinks!" so he is now choking on the smell.

1. Make the lamppost flicker. Tape the lamppost; its light starts flickering on and off. The subtitle reads "Why is the light flickering..." making him paranoid.

1. Open his wallet. Tap the wallet on the bench; it flips open to reveal his ID and photos, exposing who he really is.

1. Loose the seagull. Tap the seagull on top of the vending machine; it flies down toward the bread, causing a mess near him.

1. The prank is complete. With his head on fire, the stench at his side, the flickering light, his wallet open and the seagull dive-bombing, the confused guy gets up and leaves the bench. The red-haired friend stands by the bench with her arms crossed, smug. The red "Completed" banner drops with confetti.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a "use each prop to annoy the cheating guy" puzzle. The guy is the scumbag who cheated on the crying blonde, so the red-haired friend gets payback. The props map to pranks: the lamppost is a fire source, the trash can is a stink source, the taped lamppost flickers, the wallet exposes his identity, and the seagull makes a mess. The white dress, cola bottle and garden hose are set dressing / extra gags.

The humor is escalating public humiliation: first his head catches fire, then the smell, then the flickering light makes him nervous, then his wallet falls open, then a bird attacks. He cannot figure out what is happening and flees. The friend hiding in the bush is the one pulling the strings.

There is no dialogue with the guy; the solution is to tap the right objects in the park until each prank triggers. The level completes automatically once he leaves the bench and the friend is left standing there victorious.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: tapping the guy directly. He cannot be fought. Tap the props — lamppost, trash can, wallet, seagull — to prank him indirectly.
• Mistake: only doing one prank. He flees only after several pranks stack up. If he is still sitting, check the trash can, the lamppost tape and the seagull.
• Mistake: forgetting the wallet. If his wallet is still closed on the bench, tap it to expose his ID.
