Brain Test Level 262 Walkthrough & Answer
Level 262★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
When I ran through Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles myself, Level 262 was one of the puzzles where I had to put the phone down and think for longer than I wanted to admit. The walkthrough below is what I worked out, plus the reason the trick works.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 262:** Make the baby stop crying
## Answer
Turn your phone upside down — the baby is being held wrong. Flipping makes the baby right-side up and happy.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
A baby cries on screen. No pacifier, no toy works. Turn your phone upside down. The baby was being held upside down (from the baby's perspective), and flipping your phone corrects it. The baby stops crying.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 262:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Turn your phone upside down — the baby was inverted and needs to be right-side up.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Perspective-taking failure: you see the baby as upright because your phone is upright. But from the baby's internal perspective, it might be inverted. This requires theory-of-mind applied to a game character — understanding that the character has its own orientation separate from yours.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
You're in the advanced zone now. These levels frustrate even veteran Brain Test players, so getting stuck is completely normal. The key insight for difficulty 4 is that the answer often involves doing something the game hasn't explicitly asked you to do. Think about what's possible, not just what's prompted. 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 262:
- 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
- Multi-touch gestures (pinch, twist, multi-finger tap) are valid Brain Test inputs.
- Your phone's accelerometer and gyroscope are puzzle-solving tools in Brain Test.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 262 has a difficulty rating of 4/5 — it requires advanced lateral thinking.
