World’s Smartest Crow Outsmarts Humans in Escape Room Challenge

Can a crow really solve puzzles better than us? Watch as one fearless bird takes on a nine-part escape room filled with mind-bending challenges for the ultimate prize: juicy nuggets.

This video had us hooked from the very start. What begins as a lighthearted grudge between Mark Rober and some porch-raiding crows quickly turns into one of the most fascinating intelligence tests you’ll ever see. To find out if crows are truly as smart as science claims, Mark built a nine-level escape room packed with puzzles designed to stump even humans.

From raising water levels with rocks to recognizing faces and even fashioning tools, Cheryl the crow blew us away with her problem-solving skills and persistence. Along the way, we also see kids attempting the same puzzles, showing that thinking like an engineer is all about creativity, trial and error, and never giving up.

What we loved most about this video is how it highlights the brilliance of nature’s problem solvers in a fun, cinematic, and totally unexpected way. It’s not just about a crow earning her nuggets, it’s about discovering the intelligence and personality hidden in creatures we often overlook. If you’ve ever underestimated birds, this video will change your mind.

Trust us, you’ll want to see how far Cheryl goes in this escape room showdown. Hit play on the video below and prepare to be amazed.
