By Level 180 of Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles, you've already cleared 179 puzzles, which is exactly the moment the design starts to use that confidence against you. This one is built for players who've stopped reading the question carefully.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 180:** Wake up the sleeping cat
## Answer
Open the game's settings or volume — the notification sound wakes the cat. Or simply drag a mouse near it.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
A cat sleeps soundly. Tapping it doesn't work, nor does shaking the phone. Drag the toy mouse (hidden behind a pillow) near the cat. Cats instinctively wake when they detect prey, even toy prey.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 180:
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 the toy mouse hidden behind the pillow and drag it near the sleeping cat.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Solution-complexity bias makes you try elaborate methods (shaking, screaming, alarm sounds) when a simple, thematic solution exists. Cats wake for mice — it's basic animal behavior that translates directly to the puzzle.
## 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 180:
- 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
- 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 180 has a difficulty rating of 4/5 — it requires advanced lateral thinking.
