Brain Test 3: Tricky Quests shifts the series into a full adventure, following Alyx on her journey to find six power gems and save her father. Instead of standalone brain teasers, the levels are connected by a narrative, introducing point-and-click inventory mechanics. You explore different rooms, gather objects, and combine them to solve the obstacles blocking your path.
While the format is more structured, the logic is as playful and absurd as ever. Solving a puzzle might involve combining seemingly unrelated items or interacting with the environment in unexpected ways. The addition of dialogue and recurring characters gives the tricky scenarios a lot more context, making the trial-and-error puzzle solving feel like a cohesive quest.
Controls
You can play the entire game using just your mouse or touchscreen:
- Interact: Click or tap on objects to examine them or trigger an action.
- Inventory: Click and drag items into your bag to store them, then drag them out onto objects to use them.
Tips
- Combine items: If you are stuck, try dragging inventory items onto each . Many solutions require you to build a new tool from parts you have collected.
- Look for hidden compartments: Don't just look at objects on the surface. Open cabinets, move rugs, and check behind paintings to find necessary clues.
- Read the dialogue carefully: The characters often drop subtle hints about what needs to happen next in their casual conversations.
If you enjoy point-and-click adventures and games that reward thinking outside the box, Alyx's journey provides a great mix of story and lateral thinking.
