Brain Puzzle 3 Level 81

Overview

Level 81 is a police-identification puzzle. The banner reads "Create a wanted poster based on the description provided by the victim." You are in a busy police office: a uniformed officer sits at a cluttered desk, a WANTED poster of a blond man hangs on the wall, a gecko crawls nearby, a broom leans by a no-smoking sign, and a restroom sign points right. A victim complains at the bottom: "Officer, a janitor stole my money!" The poster on the wall currently shows the wrong man, and several suspicious people are standing around the office. You must match the culprit's description to the right face.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the description. The victim says a janitor stole the money. The suspect is a janitor — not the blond stranger already on the poster.

1. Ignore the decoy bearded man. A burly bearded guy with flaming hair walks in carrying a watermelon and a bottle of juice; he is a random bystander, not the janitor. Do not put him on the poster.

1. Open the window / look at the lineup. A window opens onto an ambulance, and boxes showing several people's faces appear below it. The red-haired young man in a purple shirt and black shorts is standing by the window — he fits the janitor description.

1. Select the red-haired man. Tap the red-haired janitor so his face replaces the wrong blond picture on the WANTED poster. In the completion frame the poster now shows the red-haired man.

1. Arrest him. Handcuffs are placed on the red-haired man. With the correct suspect identified and cuffed, the case closes and the "Completed" banner drops with confetti.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle is a "pick the right suspect" logic test. The clue is the occupation — a janitor. The blond face already on the poster is a planted wrong answer, and the bearded watermelon-carrying man is an absurd decoy meant to tempt a lazy tap. The actual thief is the unassuming red-haired young man in the purple shirt hanging near the window; matching his face to the poster is what solves it.

The reason the window opens onto an ambulance and the face-boxes appear is that the game presents a lineup once you stop trusting the existing poster. You compare the victim's words ("janitor") against the people visible and pick the one whose profile matches. The gecko, the no-smoking sign and the restroom arrow are background decoration. Once the poster face matches the cuffed red-haired man, the level clears.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: keeping the blond man on the poster. He is already wrong; the victim described a janitor, not him.
• Mistake: tapping the bearded man with the watermelon. He is an obvious decoy carrying absurd items.
• Mistake: ignoring the red-haired man by the window. He is the correct janitor; select him to update the poster.
