Brain Test 2: Tricky Stories - Play for Free! | Poki Game

Brain Test 2: Tricky Stories is the story-driven sequel to Unico Studio's viral riddle game Brain Test. Instead of one-off trick questions, it follows Tom and his family through a set of comic strips, and each panel hides a puzzle you solve by looking past the obvious answer. The fun is almost never in the puzzle's stated goal — it is in noticing the one detail on screen that breaks the rule you assumed was there.

A typical episode drops you into a scene with a short instruction, like helping Tom get ready for a date or settle an argument with his sister. The "solution" usually means dragging an object somewhere unexpected, tapping something that looks like background art, or ignoring the instruction's literal wording entirely. Get it wrong and nothing bad happens — you just try a different interaction until the scene reacts.

Controls

Everything is touch or mouse based: tap, drag, or tilt objects on screen to interact with the scene. There is no keyboard input at all, so it plays the same way on a phone, tablet, or desktop browser.

Tips

• Read the instruction literally first, then look for the loophole — most puzzles hinge on wordplay or a visual pun rather than logic.
• Try interacting with anything that looks decorative. Backgrounds, side characters and UI elements are often the actual answer.
• If dragging an item does nothing, try tapping it, shaking the device, or rotating the screen instead.
• There's no penalty for wrong guesses, so experiment freely rather than overthinking a stage.

It's a good fit for short sessions — a level or two at a time — since each story beat is self-contained and there's no score or timer pushing you to rush.
