Question 1: What’s my favorite game? The correct answer to this riddle is “The Wolves Inside Us.” It’s all about Brainteaser’s favorite (fictional) game—but the trick is that all the options you’re given resemble an actual game made by Telltale, called The Wolf Among Us.^{[2]

- Each riddle has three options to choose from.
- The incorrect answers to Brainteaser’s first riddle are “The Wolf Within Us” and “The Wolves Have Eyes.”
The correct answer here is “Standing Alive.” The other options given for this riddle— “Staying Alive” and “Walking Dead”—are just there to throw you off.^{[3]

It’s easier to catch and arrest Brainteaser if you humor him. You’ll encounter this dilemma in Dispatch’s fourth episode, “Restructure.” An old villain named Brainteaser will contact you and give you two choices: to humor him and answer his riddles or refuse and use your skills to find him. Generally, the better of the two options is “Humor the Brainteaser.”
- You don’t have to agree to answer Brainteaser’s riddles—but if you choose “Find the Brainteaser” instead, you’ll have to track him down the old-fashioned way, which requires skill checks on your part.
- If you choose “Humor the Brainteaser” and answer his riddles correctly, he’ll agree to be arrested and taken away peacefully.
If you miss the last question (“Who was my greatest nemesis?”), Brainteaser won’t allow himself to get arrested—and a team member will get hurt. However, you can miss the first two questions; as long as you get that final question right, you’ll still get the full mission reward and “good” ending, including experience points for the whole team!^{[5]

Thankfully, this mission only has a low injury risk, so it’s not a big deal if it doesn’t go perfectly. The main drawback with “Find the Brainteaser” is the fact that you won’t get that free team XP for answering Brainteaser’s questions. To catch Brainteaser, you’ll need to send someone with high Intellect, plus a member of the team like Golem, Phenomaman, or Punch Up.
