Tricky Test 2 Level 54

Overview

The prompt says "Turn off the lamp again." A hanging gray ceiling lamp with a lit yellow bulb is shown glowing in the center of the screen. There is no light switch on screen. The trick is that you cannot turn the lamp off by tapping it — you must physically unscrew the light bulb from its socket by dragging it downward. Once the bulb is removed, the lamp goes dark and the level clears.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 1 drag

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the instruction "Turn off the lamp again."
2. Observe the hanging lamp: a conical gray shade with a glowing yellow bulb visible underneath.
3. Do NOT tap the lamp shade, the pull cord, or the ceiling mount — there is no switch.
4. Press and hold your finger directly on the yellow lit bulb at the bottom of the lamp.
5. Drag the bulb straight downward, pulling it out of its socket (as if unscrewing it). The bulb detaches and moves down with your finger.
6. Release the bulb off to the side or below the lamp. The bulb leaves the socket.
7. With the bulb removed, the lamp goes dark. The empty gray socket hangs under the shade. The level clears.

Strategy & Reasoning

The phrase "turn off the lamp" normally means flip a switch, but there is no switch anywhere on screen. The designers instead make the literal action of removing the bulb the solution. The bulb is a draggable object; pulling it downward unscrews it. This is a physical-interaction puzzle in the same family as the elephant pinch (level 46) and the bulb unscrewing. Once the bulb is out, there is no source of light, so the lamp is "off." Trying to tap the shade, the cord, or dragging the whole lamp does nothing. The only interactive element is the bulb itself. The hint that this is "again" references an earlier lamp-turning-off level in the game, but the mechanic here is unscrewing rather than toggling a switch.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Tapping the lamp shade or the hanging rod. Correct approach: there is no switch; tap and drag the bulb itself.
• Mistake: Tapping the bulb once expecting it to toggle off. Correct approach: you must drag it downward to remove it from the socket.
• Mistake: Dragging the lamp shade or the whole fixture. Correct approach: only the yellow bulb is draggable; the shade is fixed.
• Mistake: Looking for a switch on the wall or in the menu. Correct approach: there is no switch; unscrew the bulb.

Additional Notes

The lamp is drawn as a hanging fixture with a conical shade, and the glowing yellow bulb is the only source of light on screen. The level title says "again," which implies you may have turned off an earlier lamp in a previous level by toggling a switch; this time there is no switch at all. The bulb is the only draggable element under the lamp. Once you pull it down and off-screen, the empty gray socket remains hanging under the shade and the scene goes dark. This is a satisfying physical-interaction puzzle because it requires you to treat the bulb as a real physical object rather than a tap target. If your first drag does not release the bulb, make sure your finger is centered on the yellow glass part rather than on the shade or the hanging rod.
