This guide is mapped to “We must open this vault” in the checked version. If Level 272 shows another question, use the text and screenshot rather than the number alone.
Answer and walkthrough
The question is “We must open this vault.” Its trick depends on how the wording, movable artwork, or screen controls behave. The concise answer appears first; reveal the three steps only if you need more detail.

Step-by-step walkthrough
Read the trick
Read “We must open this vault” literally, then inspect the words, objects, and screen edges for the trick the first glance may hide.
Important notes
- Keep your finger on the movable item until it reaches the named target; a tap alone may not register.
- Do not add extra actions after the verified answer; many Brain Test puzzles punish an otherwise sensible second move.
- Question order can change after an update, so match the wording and screenshot instead of trusting the number alone.
- Restarting the level restores moved objects and counters if an earlier experiment changed the puzzle state.
