Escape Pyramid Quest’s Room 4 throws two different puzzle types at players: a symbol-based math equation and a matchstick (torch) rearrangement. Here’s exactly how to solve both, plus the trap almost everyone falls into on the math version.
Puzzle 4 Solution: Symbol Math Equation (PEMDAS)
This variant hides three symbols — an eye, a diamond, and a snake — inside a set of equations. You solve for each symbol’s value one row at a time, then plug them into a final equation. The catch: that final equation almost always includes multiplication, so order of operations decides your answer.
Step 1: Solve Each Symbol
Step 2: Solve the Final Equation
If your Room 4 shows different symbols or numbers, the process is identical: isolate each symbol’s value using the simplest equation first, substitute upward through the rows, then apply PEMDAS to the final line before you submit.
Puzzle 4 Solution: Matchstick Equation (1 − 0 = 1)
The matchstick variant starts you off with a broken equation — 4 − 4 = 1 — built from torches. It’s mathematically false as shown, and your job is to move exactly three torches to turn it into a true equation: 1 − 0 = 1.
Which Torches to Move
- Torch 1Remove the top-left vertical torch from the first 4.
- Torch 2Remove the middle horizontal torch from that same first 4 — this turns it into a 1.
- Torch 3Move the middle horizontal torch from the second 4 up to its top position, then use the two torches you pulled from step 1 and 2 to fill in the second digit’s bottom horizontal and bottom-left vertical spots, turning it into a 0.
End result: 1 − 0 = 1, a true equation, solved in exactly three moves.
Room 4 Rewards & How to Claim
Escape Pyramid Quest is a five-room community event where the whole player base helps Kaze and Kenji escape a collapsed pyramid. Each room unlocks after the community clears a shared milestone — winning matches, opening NanoDrops, that kind of thing — and then everyone gets a personalized puzzle to solve for that room’s reward.
Sprout (or 1,000 Coins)
NanoDrops
Smoothie Drops
Chaos Drops & Bling
To claim your Room 4 reward: open the NanoNoodles tab from the main event screen, enter Room 4, submit whichever puzzle type you’re shown, and the reward drops automatically once it’s marked correct. Since the event closes today, don’t wait on this one — Room 5 is the final stage, and its solution is still being confirmed by the community in real time.

Puzzle 4 FAQ
What is the answer to Brawl Stars Puzzle 4?
For the symbol-math variant shown here, the answer is 23, solved with PEMDAS. For the matchstick variant, the answer is 1 − 0 = 1, reached by moving three torches. Your exact puzzle may show different numbers or symbols since Room 4 is personalized per player — the methods above still apply.
Why isn’t my Room 4 puzzle the same as this guide?
Supercell confirmed that Escape Pyramid Quest puzzles differ from player to player. There’s no single universal answer — follow the step-by-step method for your puzzle type instead of copying the numbers directly.
How many torches do I move in the matchstick puzzle?
Exactly three. Two come off the first 4 to turn it into a 1, and one shifts position on the second 4 (with the two removed torches filling it out) to complete the 0.
When does Escape Pyramid Quest end?
The event closes on August 6, 2026 at 8:00 UTC. Room 5, the final stage, is still being solved by the community — check in-game for the latest confirmed answer before the event ends.
What rewards does Room 4 give?
Room-by-room rewards across the event include the redesigned Sprout brawler (or Coins if already owned), NanoDrops, Smoothie Drops, Chaos Drops, and Bling. Exact Room 4 rewards appear in-game once you submit the correct solution.
