Brain Puzzle 3 Level 97

Overview

Level 97 is a "clean the dorm before the principal inspects" rush puzzle. The yellow banner reads "Help her clean up the dorm." A smartphone in the center displays a message from the Principal: "I'll arrive at your dorm in three minutes to inspect hygiene." The room is a disaster: trash scattered across the floor (banana peels, watermelon rinds, soda cans, crumpled paper), graffiti spray-painted on the walls, broken and cracked bunk beds, unmade blankets, a girl passed out on the floor with rainbow vomit, and an orange-haired girl on the top bunk drawing graffiti. The completed state shows a spotless dorm with folded pink blankets, clean wooden floors, a washing machine, a mushroom cat bed, and the principal in a purple suit nodding approvingly.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 6

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Sweep the floor. A girl in a black pinstripe suit appears holding a broom. Tap the broom to sweep all the trash — banana peels, cans, bottles, and paper scraps — into the trash bin. The floor tiles are revealed clean. The caption notes the poor-quality bed being repaired.

1. Hammer the broken bed. The brown-haired protagonist in a red cardigan grabs a hammer and pounds the cracked bunk bed frame. A puff cloud appears from the impact. The bed is fixed and no longer tilts.

1. Make the beds and fold the blankets. Tap each rumpled pink blanket on the bunks. They fold neatly into square stacks. Pillows are straightened with pink-striped pillowcases.

1. Clean the table. The white table in the center is covered in stains and grime. Tap it to wipe it clean to a glossy white surface.

1. Hide the hungover girls. The girl who passed out on the floor with rainbow vomit must be lifted into bed. The pigtailed girl with dizzy stars on the lower-left bunk is also hungover — tuck her in. The orange-haired graffiti artist on the top bunk, who was drawing on the wall, is now shown holding her head with both hands; she is dealt with (she stops drawing and sits quietly).

1. Cover the graffiti. The wall spray-painted with graffiti is wiped clean. The caption reads "You painted it yourself, cover it up!" — the wall returns to plain white with blue trim.

1. Watch the principal arrive. The progress bar at the top (showing the principal's face) fills to the red zone just as she walks in wearing a purple suit and pencil skirt. She stands with hands on hips, inspecting the now-spotless room. The brown-haired protagonist stands nervously with hand on forehead. The caption reads "Nice, this dorm is clean and tidy!" The "Completed" state is reached.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle logic is "address every visible mess before the timer runs out." The progress bar at the top tracks the principal's arrival — each cleaning action advances it. The room has multiple categories of mess: floor trash, broken furniture, unmade beds, dirty table, hungover occupants, and wall graffiti. All must be resolved.

The comedic beat is that the girls themselves caused the mess — the orange-haired girl spray-painted the wall, and another girl drank too much and passed out. The cleaning is frantic and last-minute, which is why the brown-haired girl panics and covers her face when she realizes there is still graffiti to cover.

The washing machine and mushroom cat bed that appear in the clean version are hidden appliances that were always there; they are revealed once the trash and blankets are cleared away.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: only sweeping the floor. The bed, table, blankets, wall graffiti, and passed-out girl all need attention. Sweeping alone leaves the dorm still dirty.
• Mistake: leaving the graffiti on the wall. The wall spray-paint is one of the easiest items to miss. The caption explicitly tells you to "cover it up."
• Mistake: leaving the passed-out girl on the floor. She must be put into bed before the principal arrives, or the inspection fails.
