Brain Puzzle 3 Level 98
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 98 is a ballroom rival-elimination puzzle. The yellow banner reads "Help the guy get rid of his rivals." The scene is a luxurious ballroom with a chandelier, arched windows overlooking a nighttime lake, and a checkered pink-and-white floor. A beautiful blonde woman in a white ballgown with a feather boa dances center-stage, sparkling. The hero — a blonde man in a white tuxedo with a gold vest — stands on the right with a heart glowing on his chest. He is surrounded by a crowd of rival suitors in black tuxedos, all with red heart-shaped eyes staring at the woman. The completed state shows only the hero and the woman standing together on a balcony at night, gazing into each other's eyes.

Step-by-Step Solution
- Identify the rivals. The hero in the white tuxedo is the one you are helping. Every other man in the room — all wearing black or dark suits with heart-eyes — is a rival suitor. They surround the woman in a half-circle. You must remove them one by one using objects in the party room.
- Use the bar to get the first rival drunk. A white-haired man in a black suit stands behind the bar counter. Tap the bar area — he is served drink after drink until he slumps over the counter and falls asleep with "Zzz" marks floating above his head. He is eliminated.
- Release the balloons. A bunch of colorful party balloons is tied near the bar. Tap the balloons to untie them. They float upward and carry away several of the heart-eyed rivals who were standing near the windows.
- Use the yellow bucket. A yellow metal bucket on the floor near the bar contains water. Tap it to splash water on the remaining rivals. They yelp and retreat.
- Handle the orange-haired rival in the purple suit. One rival remains: an orange-haired man in a purple tuxedo holding a champagne glass. He develops red heart-eyes and stares at the woman. The hero's head catches fire with jealousy. Tap the purple-suited rival — he is removed (escorted out or distracted), leaving only the hero.
- The woman chooses the hero. With all rivals gone, the woman walks to the hero. The scene cuts to a balcony overlooking the lake at night. The hero adjusts his hair and smiles; the woman blushes. Confetti falls and the "Completed" banner appears.
Strategy & Reasoning
The puzzle logic is "use each party prop to eliminate one category of rival." The bar eliminates the drinker, the balloons eliminate the window-side crowd, the bucket splashes the stragglers, and the final purple-suited rival is removed directly. The hero's jealous fire-head in frame three confirms that the orange-haired rival is the last and most persistent suitor.
The comedy is that the hero is doing all this scheming — getting men drunk, releasing balloons, splashing water — just to be alone with the woman. The cake on his plate in the middle frames shows he is casually eating while plotting.
The order of operations does not strictly matter, but each prop on the floor (bar, balloons, bucket, microphone) corresponds to one group of rivals. The golden microphone stand is decorative; tapping it does not eliminate anyone.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: trying to fight the rivals directly. There is no punch button. You must use the environmental props — bar drinks, balloons, bucket water — to remove them.
- Mistake: leaving the purple-suited rival for last and then not tapping him. Even after the bar, balloons, and bucket are used, the orange-haired man in the purple suit remains with heart-eyes. You must tap him directly.
- Mistake: ignoring the sleeping bartender rival. The white-haired man at the bar who falls asleep is one of the rivals; he counts toward the total eliminated.
