Brain Test Level 170 Walkthrough & Answer
Level 170★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
When I ran through Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles myself, Level 170 was one of the puzzles where I had to put the phone down and think for longer than I wanted to admit. The walkthrough below is what I worked out, plus the reason the trick works.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 170:** Turn on all the switches
## Answer
Toggle each switch, but note that some switches control OTHERS. Find the right combination where all end up ON.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Flipping some switches toggles other switches off. The trick is to find the correct order. Start from the switch that doesn't affect others, then work backward through the dependencies. There's usually one sequence that gets all switches to ON.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 170:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Find which switches affect others and toggle them in the right order — start with independent switches first.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Cascading dependency puzzles overload working memory. Each switch potentially affects others, creating a combinatorial problem. Most people tap randomly, but systematic analysis (which switch is independent?) dramatically reduces attempts needed.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
For difficulty 4, expand your toolkit: try shaking the device, using the volume rocker, covering the camera, or pressing the home button area. Also try dragging seemingly static elements like the level number, score display, or hint button. Brain Test treats everything on screen as a potential puzzle piece at this tier. Late-game levels (151-300) frequently require device interaction — tilting your phone, using multiple fingers, shaking the device, or manipulating screen elements outside the puzzle area. Think beyond the touchscreen for these multi-step solutions.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 170:
- Tapping the most obvious on-screen element without reading the full question first.
- Ignoring the question text as a potential interactive element — in Brain Test, words on screen can often be dragged, tapped, or used as part of the solution.
- Giving up too quickly instead of experimenting with device gestures like tilting, shaking, or using multiple fingers.
Tips
- Brain Test rewards questioning fundamental assumptions about how puzzles work.
- Consider what information the puzzle DOESN'T give you, not just what it does.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 170 has a difficulty rating of 4/5 — it requires advanced lateral thinking.
