Brainstorming is built on a simple, slightly mean premise: the obvious answer to each puzzle is almost always wrong. It belongs to the lateral-thinking riddle genre, where the challenge isn’t logic in the traditional sense, it’s noticing that a puzzle is asking you to break the rule you’d naturally assume applies.
Each level is its own small trick, solved by dragging objects, tapping specific elements, or combining items in a way that isn’t hinted at directly. That means genuine trial and error is part of the intended experience, not a failure state. The game expects you to poke at a scene before the actual solution becomes obvious, and the moment it clicks is most of the appeal.
With hundreds of levels and no two puzzles solved the same way, it’s built for players who enjoy being tricked as much as they enjoy solving something, genuinely funny and unexpected more often than frustrating, since the solutions tend to be clever rather than obscure for the sake of it.
How to play Brainstorming
Examine each puzzle scene carefully and interact with objects by dragging, tapping, or combining them. The correct solution is rarely the obvious one, so experimenting with the scene is expected. Solve the hidden trick to clear the level and move to the next riddle.
Controls
- Mouse click / drag / tap Interact with objects in the scene
Tips
- If the obvious solution doesn't work, that's the game telling you to look for a trick, not a bug
- Try interacting with every object on screen, not just the ones that look important
- Some solutions involve combining two items rather than using either alone, so don't stop at the first thing you try
- A level that seems impossible usually has a genuinely simple answer once you stop assuming normal logic applies
