Brain Test Level 131 Walkthrough & Answer
Level 131★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
If Level 130 of Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles felt routine, Level 131 is the kind that breaks the pattern. The devs schedule these on purpose — usually right where players start solving on autopilot.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 131:** How many squares do you see?
## Answer
Count all squares including the phone screen itself. Don't forget overlapping squares formed by combined smaller squares.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
The image shows a grid of squares. Count: individual small squares, medium squares formed by 2x2 groups, large squares from 3x3 groups, and the full outer square. Also consider the phone screen border as a square.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 131:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Count squares at every size — 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, etc. — plus the screen border itself.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Perceptual grouping biases you toward the smallest, most obvious squares. Compound shapes formed by combining adjacent squares require active visual construction — your brain has to 'build' them mentally, which takes effort most people don't invest on a timed puzzle.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
At this difficulty, Brain Test expects multi-step thinking. Break the puzzle into parts: what does the question ask, what elements are on screen, and what interactions haven't you tried yet? Combine objects, drag text, or use multiple fingers simultaneously. Systematic experimentation beats random tapping. Mid-game levels (51-150) start combining multiple trick types in one puzzle. You might need both wordplay and physical interaction to solve a single level. If one approach fails, switch to a completely different trick category.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 131:
- Applying real-world logic to a puzzle that rewards absurd lateral thinking.
- Overlooking small UI elements like the level counter, hint button, or settings icon, which sometimes play a role in the solution.
- Assuming the puzzle has only one interactive element when multiple objects might need to be combined.
Tips
- Consider different number systems: Roman numerals, binary, or bases other than 10.
- Don't trust your first arithmetic instinct — Brain Test loves number misdirection.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 131 has a difficulty rating of 3/5 — it challenges your assumptions.
