Brain Test Level 264 Walkthrough & Answer
Level 264★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles Level 264 sits about 88% through the game's 300-level run — late enough that the obvious patterns no longer work, early enough that the mechanics still favor lateral thinking.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 264:** Complete the maze before the ghost catches you
## Answer
Draw the path from end to start (backwards). The ghost follows the conventional path, so going backwards avoids it.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
A maze has a ghost following the standard start-to-finish path. Navigate from finish to start instead — going backwards avoids the ghost who only knows the forward route.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 264:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Navigate the maze BACKWARDS (finish to start) to avoid the ghost on the conventional path.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Direction rigidity means you always start mazes from the beginning. Going backwards is counterintuitive but perfectly valid. Brain Test rewards you for questioning even the most basic assumptions about how puzzles should be approached.
## 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 264:
- Reading the question too fast and missing a critical word like 'not', 'biggest', or 'smallest'.
- Assuming numbers on screen represent their face value when they might be Roman numerals, binary, or visual patterns.
- Skipping the hint system entirely — hints in Brain Test are progressive and often nudge without spoiling.
Tips
- Look at negative space, shadows, and object arrangements for hidden patterns.
- Scroll or drag the screen to check for hidden elements beyond the visible area.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 264 has a difficulty rating of 5/5 — this is a tough puzzle that requires creative or multi-step reasoning.
