Brain Test Level 2 Walkthrough & Answer
Level 2★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Level 2 lands in Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles's warm-up band, and most players who Google it are stuck not because the answer is hard, but because the puzzle frames the question in a way that sends you down the wrong path.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 2:** How many shapes are there?
## Answer
7. Count ALL shapes including hidden and overlapping ones.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
The trick is that some shapes overlap or hide behind others. You need to count every single shape visible on screen, including partially hidden ones. Move shapes around if needed to find all 7.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 2:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. 7.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Brain Test Level 2 is designed to catch players who think too literally or too logically. The game's core mechanic is to subvert expectations. Most players fail this level on their first try because they approach it with conventional thinking. The key insight is that the game often uses the question text, physical phone gestures, or visual misdirection as part of the puzzle. Once you understand that Brain Test breaks the fourth wall regularly, these puzzles become much more manageable.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
Approach this level with a checklist: (1) read every word in the question, (2) tap each on-screen element individually, (3) try dragging objects around, (4) consider if the question text itself is part of the answer. Early Brain Test levels teach these four habits that carry through the entire game. These early levels (1-50) teach you Brain Test's fundamental trick vocabulary: literal wordplay, tapping hidden elements, and questioning obvious answers. Master these patterns now — they recur throughout the entire game.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 2:
- Fixating on the visual scene and ignoring the question text, which often contains the key wordplay or clue.
- Trying the same approach repeatedly instead of testing a completely different interaction method.
- Forgetting that some levels require physical phone actions — shake, tilt, rotate, or cover the camera.
Tips
- Don't overthink it — Brain Test rewards creative, lateral thinking over logical analysis.
- Count every single element including hidden, overlapping, or partially visible ones.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 2 has a difficulty rating of 1/5 — it should be solvable with a simple trick.
