By Level 87 of Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles, you've already cleared 86 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 87:** Defeat the dragon!
## Answer
Don't fight the dragon. Drag the ice/water/cloud onto its fire breath to extinguish it, making it harmless.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Fighting a dragon head-on is impossible. Find water, ice, or a rain cloud on screen and drag it onto the dragon's fire. Without fire, the dragon is defeated.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 87:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Don't fight the dragon.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Brain Test Level 87 is designed to catch players who think too literally or too logically. The game's core mechanic is to subvert expectations. Most players fail this level on their first try because they approach it with conventional thinking. The key insight is that the game often uses the question text, physical phone gestures, or visual misdirection as part of the puzzle. Once you understand that Brain Test breaks the fourth wall regularly, these puzzles become much more manageable.
## 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. Mid-game levels (51-150) start combining multiple trick types in one puzzle. You might need both wordplay and physical interaction to solve a single level. If one approach fails, switch to a completely different trick category.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 87:
- 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
- Try dragging objects around the screen — many Brain Test puzzles require you to move elements to unexpected places.
- If your first instinct doesn't work, try the opposite approach — Brain Test loves to subvert expectations.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 87 has a difficulty rating of 5/5 — this is a tough puzzle that requires advanced lateral thinking.
