Brain Puzzle 3 Level 35 Answer: Help the boy fight off the snow monster

Watch the full solution.

The clip is worth watching for two moments: the drawer swipe that only works after seven bar drags, and the rifle at the end.

Level 35 walkthrough: every move in order.

What makes Level 35 tricky.

The gold bar is dragged ten separate times: to the wall, the boy, the dog, the table, the baguette, the radio, the dry grass, the phone inside the drawer, the icicle and finally the iron rod. Nothing in the level announces that the bar can be reused, so most runs treat the first drag as the bar's one job and then search the snowfield for a second one that does not exist. The chain also hides its only swipe at step 8. The table drawer will not open for a tap, and the phone that comes out of it is a single-use item: it goes to the boy once, at step 10, and never comes back.

Halfway through, the level quietly swaps its rule. Steps 12 to 14 stop using the gold bar: the can goes to the dog, the poop goes to the campfire, and the bigger bonfire that results is dragged onto the snow monster. Then the bar returns for the iron rod at step 15 and the rifle closes the level at 16. A run that has read the opening as "bar to everything" keeps hunting for a bar target after the bonfire, skips the can and strands the dog.

Every target is already lying in the snow. The dry grass sits under the boy rather than beside him, the icicle hangs in front of the snow monster, and the baguette is on the table rather than in the drawer, so each of the ten drags is a small read of a scene that otherwise looks like a pile of props. The ending is the part people miss: the bonfire hitting the monster looks like the finish, and the rifle is still sitting there untapped. The checklist below marks the six places a chain this long breaks.

Six links in a sixteen-move chain.

The moves that look like dead ends are the ones that carry the level:

• The gold bar, ten times over. If a target refuses the bar, the answer is the next item on the list rather than a new tool.
• The drawer, step 8. It wants a swipe to the left; tapping the table does nothing.
• The phone, step 10. It leaves the drawer for the boy once, and the move list only ever names one phone.
• The can, step 12. It comes after the gold bar has already visited the dog, so a run can believe the dog is done.
• The campfire, step 13. Poop first, then the bigger bonfire to the snow monster at 14. The order is the move.
• The rifle, step 16. Dragging the fire onto the monster is not the last step, however finished the level looks.

Ten bar drags, one swipe, one phone, one can, one campfire and one rifle.
