Brain Test 5 Level 22
๐ Walkthrough
Overview
In a park, a knife-wielding attacker chases a woman across the grass. A policeman is hidden behind one of the trees, and the solution is to bring that officer out of hiding so he can arrest the attacker. The level ends on the "Finally he got arrested" screen with the threat contained.
- Difficulty: Regular
- Estimated moves: 2
Step-by-Step Solution
- Read the situation: the woman is fleeing the attacker, who holds a knife, and the open park scenery is what you have to search for help.
- Scan the trees around the scene for the concealed policeman. He does not stand openly on the grass at first; he is tucked behind a trunk where he waits to be revealed.
- Tap or drag the tree to uncover the hidden officer, bringing him into the open.
- Once the policeman appears, he moves in to arrest the knife-wielding attacker and stops the chase.
- The level completes on the arrest screen showing that the attacker has been taken into custody, with the woman safe.
- Check each tree trunk around the park for the concealed officer before looking at benches or bushes; the policeman is hidden behind a trunk, and no other scenery in the scene conceals a person.
- After the officer steps out, let the arrest play through on its own; the level completes only on the screen showing the attacker detained, not the moment the policeman first becomes visible.
- Before finishing, confirm the woman is no longer being chased and the attacker is detained on the arrest screen; the policeman appearing alone does not satisfy the level until that arrest state shows.
Strategy & Reasoning
The puzzle hides the rescue character in plain sight behind scenery. The attacker and the fleeing woman fill the foreground and draw the eye, while the useful character waits behind a tree that looks like ordinary park decoration. Directly confronting the attacker yourself is not possible in this layout, which signals that the answer must be the hidden authority figure rather than a prop fight.
This matches the recurring Brain Test 5 trick where a background object can be tapped or moved to reveal someone stored inside. The trees are the only covering large enough to hide a person, so checking each trunk beats searching the bench or bushes for a weapon. Once the officer is revealed, the arrest plays out automatically; there is no separate step to subdue the attacker manually. The completed arrest screen, rather than just the policeman appearing, is the confirmation that the hidden character did his job.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Do not try to tackle the attacker or hand the woman a weapon; the level resolves by bringing out the hidden policeman.
- Check behind the trees first; the officer is concealed there, not standing in the open on the grass.
- Confirm the arrest screen appears before finishing; merely revealing the policeman does not clear the level until the attacker is detained.
