Brain Test Level 89 Walkthrough & Answer
Level 89★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Before scrolling: Level 89 of Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles has a one-step solution, but the step is buried under a layer of misdirection. If you want a nudge instead of the full answer, the progressive hints further down go from gentle to explicit.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 89:** Pop all the balloons
## Answer
Tap each balloon. The last one is armored/special — you need to tap it many times or drag a pin to it.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Most balloons pop with one tap, but the last balloon is reinforced. Either tap it rapidly many times, or find a sharp object (pin, needle, cactus) on screen and drag it to the balloon.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 89:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Tap each balloon.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Brain Test Level 89 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
The hardest Brain Test levels require a systematic multi-step approach: first identify all interactive elements, then test each interaction type (tap, drag, pinch, tilt, shake). After exhausting single actions, try combinations — drag one element onto another, or perform actions in a specific sequence. Document what you've tried to avoid repeating. 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 89:
- 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
- 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 89 has a difficulty rating of 5/5 — this is a tough puzzle that requires advanced lateral thinking.
