Brain Test Level 171 Walkthrough & Answer
Level 171★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Before scrolling: Level 171 of Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles has a one-step solution, but the step is buried under a layer of misdirection. If you want a nudge instead of the full answer, the progressive hints further down go from gentle to explicit.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 171:** Complete the drawing
## Answer
Connect the dots, but the last dot is hiding behind another element. Drag the element aside to reveal it.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
A connect-the-dots drawing is almost complete but one dot is missing. It's hidden behind a cloud, bush, or other foreground element. Drag that element aside to reveal the final dot, then connect to it.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 171:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Look for a hidden dot behind foreground elements — drag objects aside to reveal it.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Visual occlusion causes you to think all dots are visible. When the drawing can't be completed, players assume a bug rather than looking for hidden elements. Brain Test consistently hides elements behind other elements — always check.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
Difficulty 4 puzzles in Brain Test often involve meta-awareness — the solution might require interacting with your phone's hardware (volume buttons, tilt sensor) or manipulating the game's UI elements. The puzzle boundary extends beyond the screen content to include the device itself. 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 171:
- 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
- Look at negative space, shadows, and object arrangements for hidden patterns.
- The question text and UI elements are part of the puzzle — don't treat them as decoration.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 171 has a difficulty rating of 4/5 — it requires advanced lateral thinking.
