Brainy Prankster: Turning Misleading Creatives into Quirky Puzzles

We’ve all seen those misleading ad creatives with absurd situations and puzzles — always a bit cringy, weirdly catchy, and hard to ignore!

Here comes a Brainy Prankster, a new game that turns this format into actual gameplay. Players solve quirky puzzles like helping a policeman gather evidence or sneaking a secret lover past an angry spouse 😏

We spotted the game in AppMagic’s Top Trending chart this week — and since its late-February launch, it has already hit 19.5M installs. 🚀

The game relies almost entirely on ad monetization with little to no IAP revenue.

A reminder that not all hypercasual titles are chasing the IAP-heavy model in 2025! ✍️

👉 To make sure you know what we’re talking about, check out the game’s AppMagic public card.
