By Level 212 of Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles, you've already cleared 211 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 212:** Cross the lava without touching it
## Answer
Drag the character up over the question text area — walk across the UI header to avoid the lava below.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Lava fills the bottom of the screen with platforms too far apart to jump. The safe path is the UI — drag the character to the top of the screen, walking across the question text bar as if it were solid ground.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 212:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Use the question text bar as a walkway — drag the character across the top of the screen above the lava.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Play-space boundary illusion limits you to the 'game area' below the question text. Brain Test's UI is part of the game world. The question bar is solid, walkable ground from the character's perspective.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
The hardest Brain Test levels require a systematic multi-step approach: first identify all interactive elements, then test each interaction type (tap, drag, pinch, tilt, shake). After exhausting single actions, try combinations — drag one element onto another, or perform actions in a specific sequence. Document what you've tried to avoid repeating. 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 212:
- 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
- After 100+ levels, sometimes the trick is that there IS no trick. Accept simple answers too.
- The game's interface (buttons, text, counters) can be manipulated as puzzle elements.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 212 has a difficulty rating of 5/5 — this is a tough puzzle that requires creative or multi-step reasoning.
