Brain Puzzle 3 Level 9

Overview

Level 9 asks you to "Help the girl extend the ladder to climb upstairs." It is a zombie-apocalypse yard: an armed girl in a purple top stands at the base of two long bare ladder rails that lean against a wall up to a rooftop. Zombies crowd a chain-link fence around her, and a portable "Toilet" outhouse sits to the right. The bottom line says "So many zombies — help me stack a ladder and get to the roof!" Just like the rails in the earlier level, the two long poles connect the ground to the roof, but they have no steps. Scattered long and flat objects lie around the scene waiting to be wedged in as rungs.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 5

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the geometry. The two ladder rails already reach from the ground to the roof ledge; the only missing piece is the rungs between them. The girl cannot climb a smooth pair of poles, so your task is to span them with whatever rigid objects are at hand.

1. Tap the "Toilet" sign. The signboard on the outhouse wall is a flat rigid board. Tap it and it pulls free, sliding between the rails as the first makeshift rung; the girl steps up onto it.

1. Tap the broom and the loose pipe. A broom and a long white pipe/rod lie near the fence. Tap each to wedge it horizontally between the rails as the next rungs, and the girl climbs a little higher.

1. Tap the wooden plank. A flat board near the base becomes another rung, extending the ladder upward.

1. Use the fallen figures as rungs. In a dark-humor twist, the prone bodies lying on the ground are also tapped and laid across the rails as additional steps, filling the last gap so the ladder reaches the roof ledge.

1. Wait for her to reach the roof. Once enough rungs span the rails, the girl climbs all the way up to safety on the roof. The zombies are left behind the fence and the red "Completed" ribbon appears.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is the same build-the-ladder mechanic from the earlier climbing level, reskinned as a zombie survival scene. The zombies and the weapons are atmosphere and cannot be fought off directly; the real barrier is purely structural — the rails exist but the steps do not. The game's hint ("help me stack a ladder") tells you outright that you assemble the ladder from the objects in the yard rather than finding a pre-made one.

The design trick is that the most obvious long objects are deliberately laid out right by the rails: the Toilet sign, a broom, a pipe, and a plank. The dark-humor payoff is that the fallen figures on the ground are also pressed into service as rungs, which is exactly what the completion card shows — bodies and tools mixed together as steps. You are not expected to defeat the zombies; you are expected to notice the ladder is incomplete and finish it with whatever does the job.

There is no correct ordering to the rungs; the game accepts them in any sequence, and each correct tap visibly adds a step and moves the girl upward. The fence, the outhouse interior, and the streetlamp are scenery.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: trying to fight the zombies. The fence and the horde are decoration; you cannot clear them. The escape route is the ladder to the roof, not a fight.
• Mistake: overlooking the "Toilet" sign. It looks like a fixed part of the outhouse, but it is a loose board and one of the required rungs. Tap it free.
• Mistake: stopping after one or two rungs. The girl can only rise as far as the steps reach. Keep tapping long/flat objects — including the fallen bodies — until the ladder reaches the roof ledge and the "Completed" ribbon appears.
