Brain Test 5 Level 28

Overview

A character needs to get ready for bed. The steps are to remove his shoes, with the footprints showing them coming off, and then settle him under the blanket so he is properly in bed. The level finishes once he lies covered and ready to sleep, with the checkmark appearing over the bed.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Estimated moves: 2

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Look at the character standing beside or on the bed and notice he is still wearing his shoes, which keeps him from being ready to lie down.
2. Remove the shoes from his feet. The footprints left behind mark the shoes coming off, so the action registers as the footwear being taken away rather than the character being dragged.
3. Once his feet are bare, arrange him into a lying position on the bed rather than leaving him sitting upright.
4. Pull the blanket over him so he is covered from the shoulders down; being under the blanket is the bedtime condition the level checks.
5. When he is settled in bed with the blanket over him and his shoes off, the checkmark appears and the bedtime routine is complete.
6. After the shoes come off, leave them beside the bed rather than dragging them onto the blanket; the footprint cue marks their removal, and the bare feet are what prepare him to lie down.
7. When pulling the blanket over him, cover him from the shoulders down and make sure his body is lying flat; a blanket draped over a seated figure will not register as being settled in bed.
8. When he is settled, double-check that his shoes are off and the blanket covers him; either missing condition keeps the bedtime routine from registering as complete.

Strategy & Reasoning

The scene follows a real bedtime order: shoes off first, then into bed, then covered. Trying to tuck him in while he still wears shoes misses the first condition, and dragging the blanket over a standing character does not read as lying down. The footprints are the visual cue that the shoe-removal action worked, which confirms the first step before you move to the blanket.
This level keeps its props simple: there are no extra items to hunt around the room, only the footwear and the blanket. The common misstep is treating "ready for bed" as just covering him, which leaves the shoes on and the level unsatisfied. Conversely, taking off the shoes and leaving him sitting upright also fails, because the settled-under-blanket state has to be reached. Reading the two visible cues — bare feet and blanket cover — makes the completion check straightforward.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Take the shoes off before you pull the blanket; leaving footwear on keeps the character unready for bed.
• Lay him down on the bed first, then cover him; a blanket over a sitting or standing character will not register.
• Watch for the footprint cue that the shoes came off, so you know the first step registered before tucking him in.
