Brain Test Level 218 Walkthrough & Answer
Level 218★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
If Level 217 of Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles felt routine, Level 218 is the kind that breaks the pattern. The devs schedule these on purpose — usually right where players start solving on autopilot.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 218:** What number does the parking spot have? 16, 06, 68, 88, ?, 98
## Answer
Flip the sequence upside down: 86, ?, 88, 89, 90, 91. The missing number is 87.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
This appears complex right-side up but is a simple counting sequence when flipped. Turn your phone upside down: 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91. The missing number is 87.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 218:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Rotate your phone 180 degrees to read: 86, ?, 88... The missing number is 87.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
A repeat of the orientation trick — proving that even after seeing it once, many players don't recognize it in a new context. Contextual reframing (parking lot vs. number sequence) disguises the same underlying puzzle mechanic.
## 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 218:
- Overthinking a simple puzzle — sometimes the answer is literally what the question says, with no trick at all.
- Not trying to drag or resize on-screen elements, including text, images, and answer options.
- Missing that Brain Test sometimes reuses a trick from an earlier level with a slight variation.
Tips
- Don't trust your first arithmetic instinct — Brain Test loves number misdirection.
- Check if the question is about numerical value or visual appearance of digits.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 218 has a difficulty rating of 4/5 — it requires advanced lateral thinking.
