Level 222★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Level 222 lands in Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles's brutal 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 222:** Catch the burglar — he's the one wearing a mask
## Answer
Drag the masks off people's faces. Everyone is wearing a mask post-COVID. The burglar is the one with a ski mask (or the one who runs when unmasked).
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
In a crowd where everyone wears face masks, find the burglar. Drag masks off faces — the burglar wears a ski mask (balaclava) underneath, or runs away when you try to unmask them.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 222:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Drag face masks off each person — the burglar wears a ski mask or reacts differently when unmasked.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Contemporary context collision. Post-pandemic, everyone wears masks, making 'wearing a mask' useless as an identifier. Brain Test uses current cultural context to invalidate the traditional 'masked burglar' trope, requiring deeper investigation.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
Maximum difficulty Brain Test levels combine multiple trick types into one puzzle. You might need device interaction plus wordplay plus visual misdirection all at once. These multi-layered puzzles test whether you've internalized every trick type from earlier levels and can combine them fluidly. 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 222:
- 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
- Scroll or drag the screen to check for hidden elements beyond the visible area.
- Look at negative space, shadows, and object arrangements for hidden patterns.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 222 has a difficulty rating of 5/5 — this is a tough puzzle that requires creative or multi-step reasoning.
