Guide by LevelWalks
Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles Level 88 sits about 29% 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 88:** What is the sum of all numbers on screen?
## Answer
Add EVERY number visible — including the level number, score, and numbers in the question text.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Don't just add the obvious numbers. Include the level number displayed in the corner, any numbers in the question text, the score counter, and the timer. Add absolutely everything.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 88:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Add EVERY number visible — including the level number, score, and numbers in the question text.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Brain Test Level 88 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
Difficulty 5 is the summit — these are the levels players brag about solving unaided. If you're here without hints, you've already proven your lateral thinking skills. The solution probably requires a combination of techniques you've learned throughout the game. Stay patient and try combining different interaction methods. 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 88:
- 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 overthink it — Brain Test rewards creative, lateral thinking over logical analysis.
- If your first instinct doesn't work, try the opposite approach — Brain Test loves to subvert expectations.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 88 has a difficulty rating of 5/5 — this is a tough puzzle that requires advanced lateral thinking.
