Tricky Test 2 Level 88
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
The level opens with the prompt "Jack's lost! Help Jack find his home." in white text near the top. In the centre of the screen stands a simple grey cartoon skeleton (Jack), with a round skull, large black eye sockets, a rib cage, stick arms and stick legs. To his lower-left is a Christian grave marked by a wooden cross stuck in the dirt, and to his lower-right is a rounded tombstone with faint writing on it. The background is a flat dark charcoal grey with a low-poly triangular strip along the very bottom. The puzzle looks like a simple "choose which grave belongs to Jack" question, but the trick is that neither grave needs to be selected by tapping - instead Jack has to be physically led to his resting place. The joke is that a skeleton's home is literally a grave, and the correct one is the cross on the left.

Step-by-Step Solution
- Read the prompt "Jack's lost! Help Jack find his home." and identify the two graveyard options: the wooden cross on the bottom-left and the rounded tombstone on the bottom-right.
- Press and hold on the skeleton Jack in the centre of the screen to grab him.
- Drag Jack smoothly to the left, over to the wooden-cross grave on the lower-left side of the screen, and release him there.
- Watch the result: Jack disappears into the grave (he is now "home"), and the wooden cross tilts/leans to one side to show the grave has been disturbed. The two small dark marks left on the ground near where he stood are the only trace of him.
- The level clears as soon as Jack is dropped onto the left cross grave. Do not touch the rounded tombstone on the right - that is the decoy.
In the recorded walkthrough, the skeleton stands still in the centre for the first ten seconds, then vanishes in an instant while the left cross tilts to the right. The rounded tombstone on the right never changes, confirming it was not the target.
Strategy & Reasoning
The puzzle is worded as if Jack needs directions, but the UI gives you no arrow buttons or dialogue choices. That means the "help" must come from directly manipulating the scene - i.e. dragging Jack himself. This is a recurring Tricky Test 2 pattern: when the prompt says "help X find Y" with no obvious button, you usually have to drag the character onto the destination.
The choice between the two graves is where the trick lies. The rounded tombstone on the right looks like a normal grave and is the tempting, obvious choice. However, the video shows that interacting with the left cross is what triggers success: the cross tilts and Jack vanishes. The left cross therefore represents Jack's actual resting place. The right tombstone is a generic decoy grave that belongs to someone else.
Trying to tap the tombstone on the right does nothing (or counts as a wrong tap), because it is not Jack's home. Trying to tap Jack himself also does nothing, because he is not a button - he is an object that must be moved. The only productive action is the drag from centre to the left grave.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: Tapping the rounded tombstone on the right because it looks like a "proper" grave. Correct approach: Drag Jack to the wooden cross on the lower-left instead; that is the grave that reacts.
- Mistake: Tapping Jack himself expecting him to walk home. Correct approach: Press and hold Jack and physically drag him across the screen - he does not walk on his own.
- Mistake: Dragging Jack to the right tombstone and then waiting. Correct approach: If nothing happens, you picked the wrong grave; release him, drag him back, and try the left cross.
- Mistake: Looking for extra objects hidden off-screen. Correct approach: Everything you need is already on screen; the solution is just a single drag-and-drop.
