Help Riley outplay Claire without getting caught

Level Overview

Welcome to Tricky Story Story 2 Level 25! Riley (orange-haired girl on the right) and fake heiress Claire (girl in red top and black skirt on the left) are having the final heir confrontation in the principal/lawyer's office. The serious examiner in the middle is carefully verifying the assets and identity documents of both. This level's core mechanism is action counter mode (0/8). You must use windows, water cups, erasers, briefcases and hidden compartments on bookshelves in the office to continuously execute 8 successful evidence replacement, interference or exposure operations within the 60-second time limit without being discovered by the examiner. Each correct operation will add "+1" to the progress bar. Collect 8 points to assist Riley in perfect victory!

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Swipe Up to Push Open Large Grid Window in Center (Progress 1/8): Point your view at the white grid large window directly behind the examiner in the middle. Press and hold the lower edge of the window frame with your finger and execute the swipe up gesture to completely push open the tightly closed window.
2. Guide Wind to Blow Claire's False Documents (Progress 2/8): After the window is opened, strong wind from outside will blow into the office. Click the stack of materials on the examiner's desk belonging to Claire (on the left) to let the wind blow her forged report completely away.
3. Drag Blue Water Cup on Table for Liquid Destruction (Progress 3/8): Click the blue glass water cup on the table. Lift it and deliberately drag it to pour on Claire's contract documents on the left, using water stains to completely blur her forged seal.
4. Use Pink Eraser to Erase Claire's Fake Signature (Progress 4/8): Click the pink rectangular eraser directly in front of the examiner's documents. Drag it to the signature line that needs to be modified and rub it repeatedly to smear and clear Claire's pre-forged Ashford family handwriting.
5. Open Black Briefcase Under Table to Get Real ID (Progress 5/8): Click the black leather briefcase leaning against the table leg directly under the table. Click the lock to pull open the briefcase and extract Riley's high-end original identity asset certificate from it. Progress bar successfully adds 1.
6. Move Founder Portrait on Left Bookshelf (Progress 6/8): Move your gaze to the upper left layer of the left bookshelf where a gold-framed suit uncle portrait (Ashford family founder) is hanging. Push it to the left with your finger to expose the orthodox family golden emblem originally hidden behind the painting.
7. Slide Heavy Books on Right Bookshelf to Find Real Ledger (Progress 7/8): Notice the middle layer of the right bookshelf where a row of red and pink thick books are neatly arranged. Click and slide this row of books to the right. The Ashford real family trust fund ledger hidden in the deepest part will automatically fall onto the table.
8. Continuously Click Two Spotlights on Ceiling to Focus Truth (Progress 8/8): Finally, click the two white recessed spotlights on the ceiling directly facing the table with your finger. Continuously click them quickly. The highlighted light beam will focus on the real documents and badges presented by Riley (progress bar fills to 8/8 full). The examiner instantly recognizes the truth, slaps the table and rises to completely sweep fake Claire out the door to complete the counterattack!

Pro Tips

• Hand speed seamless connection: Pushing window (Step 1) and opening briefcase (Step 5) can be operated simultaneously with two fingers in the first 8 seconds of opening without waiting for the wind blowing documents animation to finish completely, which can best outrun the time in the upper right corner.
• Strictly prevent examiner from looking up: The examiner (man in the middle) will periodically look down to write and look up to examine. When a red alarm exclamation mark appears above his head, players must immediately withdraw their fingers and pause any displacement operations on the table (such as pouring water, erasing). Otherwise, they will be caught on the spot, causing suspension failure.

Common Mistakes

• Mistakenly pouring blue water cup on Riley's documents on the right: Riley is the object we need to help. If you pour the water cup (Step 3) on the documents on the right, it will cause the hard-earned orthodox evidence to be destroyed. The game forcibly black screens.
• Forcibly erasing fake signature when examiner looks up directly: The entire signature erasing (Step 4) logic requires 2 seconds of stiffness time. If you operate when the examiner is alert, it is completely illegal and will be judged as cheating and favoritism, causing failure.
• Only clicking black briefcase without pulling out evidence documents: Briefcase (Step 5) is a displacement composite prop. You must first click to pull open the zipper, then manually drag the exposed white paper documents inside to the examiner's folder to accumulate count.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why didn't the progress bar above add after I moved the heavy books on the right bookshelf (Step 7)?

This is usually because you released your hand too quickly. You need to press and hold that row of colorful books and drag them all the way to the right to the edge dead corner to trigger them to completely stack together and expose the back gap independent state frame. Only then will the hidden real ledger fall down smoothly.

What are the current 119 stars in the upper right corner for?

That represents the total star assets you have accumulated from clearing levels. It can be used in the dress-up mall in the game main menu to purchase and dress up various high-end daily clothes or evening gowns for Riley and male protagonist Liam. It does not affect the specific physical puzzle judgment of this level's 8-point counter.
