How to Solve Brain Puzzle: Tricky Quest Level 162 — Full Solution
- Drag the three-paddle cactus from the right shelf into the smoke layer; it spins like a fan and blows the smoke out to the left.
- Drag the fireplace flame up onto the blue ice slab. The ice melts, Santa descends, and the hearth is extinguished for the final landing.
- Open the arched left window to reveal the snowman and drag his shovel onto the muddy waste beneath Santa.
- Tap the black holly pot at lower right to release the grey mouse, then drag the mouse onto the food scraps and bones so it eats the remaining debris.
- Pull the sword from the framed Christmas-tree picture and drag it across the white spiderweb to cut Santa free.
- Shift the picture to reveal the pink sharpening stone, use it on the wooden pickaxe, and give the upgraded pickaxe to Santa to break the gold bars.
- Pull the crowbar from Santa's gift sack and use it on the padlocked metal damper.
- Let Santa fall through the open damper and dark fireplace; he leaves the present beside the hearth, and the next-day child scene confirms delivery.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to tap the smoke instead of using the cactus fan
- Leaving the fireplace burning instead of spending its flame on the ice
- Missing the mouse inside the black holly pot

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Santa is stuck above a chimney stack containing grey smoke, a blue ice slab, muddy food scraps and bones, a white spiderweb, yellow gold bars, and a padlocked metal damper. The room supplies a cactus, closed window, black holly pot, wooden pickaxe, burning hearth, and a Christmas-tree picture concealing both a sword and sharpening stone.
- Goal
- Remove every blockage in order and open the bottom damper so Santa can descend through the extinguished fireplace and deliver his gift.
- Opening
- Drag the cactus into the smoke as a fan, then move the fireplace flame onto the ice slab and open the left window.
- Danger Zone
- Several required tools are hidden. The mouse comes from the black holly pot, the sword and sharpening stone come from the Christmas picture, and the final crowbar is inside Santa's sack.
- Mechanics
- Top-down dependency puzzle where each cleared chimney layer exposes the next and room props must be revealed, repurposed, or combined before Santa can descend.
