Brain Test 5: Tricky Challenge is available on mobile, the latest entry in the Brain Test series by Unico Studios. According to the studio, it is their biggest installment to date. You get to solve short-form, self-contained brain teasers that dive into absurdity and quick thinking.
Take Brain Test 5: Tricky Challenge
The game provides a series of dense mental obstacles, each of which is built around a single, often mischievous idea. One stage might ask you to figure out how to heat a cold house, while the other revolves around preparing food correctly.
You may need to save someone from killing themselves or save another person who is sleepwalking. You may also need someone to help you reach the top of the pole to fix the toilet or retrieve a flag. There are other scenarios too, such as blowing up a little boy with the help of a bunch of balloons.
The presentation brings back the series’ recognizable cartoony aesthetic. The characters and environments are depicted in a light, accessible style. Individual puzzles can be completed in less than a minute.
One notable structural change in the game is the new life and fail system. Earlier entries in the franchise allowed for relatively unrestricted experimentation, but Brain Test 5: Tricky Challenge introduces a system that limits the number of attempts you can make. This feature comes in later levels, pushing players towards more careful problem-solving.
Will you find it? Brain Test 5: Tricky Challenge offers over 100 puzzles. It’s free to play with optional in-app purchases such as boosters and extra hints. The game lets you play offline, just like previous titles. So, check it out here Google Play Store.
