How to play Brain Test 3: Tricky Quests
Understand the objective
- Your main goal is to help Alyx collect the six power gems (blue, red, green, yellow, light blue, and purple) by completing levels filled with puzzles and challenges. Each level presents a unique scenario tied to the overarching story.
Controls
- Use your mouse cursor (on PC) or finger (on mobile) to interact with the game. You can tap, drag, and move objects on the screen to solve puzzles. The interface is simple and intuitive, requiring no complex inputs.
Think creatively
- The puzzles often require unconventional solutions. For example, you might need to drag a character to a specific spot, combine inventory items, or interpret riddles literally. Everything visible on the screen could be a hint, so experiment with different interactions.
Use the inventory system
- Collect objects during levels and store them in your inventory. You can use these items individually or merge them to create new tools to overcome obstacles. For instance, combining a stick and a cloth might make a torch to light a dark area.
Engage in dialogue and chat levels
- Some levels involve conversations with NPCs (non-player characters). Choose the correct chat responses to convince them or unlock the next step. These dialogues test your logic and social reasoning—pay attention to the context to pick the right answer.
Build Alyx’s workshop
- As you progress, you’ll unlock a workshop where you can develop tools and machines using idle resource generators. This feature enhances your ability to tackle tougher puzzles later in the game.
Hints and help
- Stuck on a level? Tap the magnifying glass icon to access hints—each level offers a varying number of them. If you’re still struggling, watch a rewarded video (bottom of the screen) to skip a level entirely. The improved hint system ensures you’re never forced to abandon a puzzle.
