Help Claire, Lexi, and Jenna get invitation cards to the party

Level Overview

Welcome to Tricky Story Story 2 Level 26! Claire, Lexi and Jenna urgently need three exclusive invitations to the WILD CATS party to sneak into the scene. At this time, Riley is standing in front of the hallway locker, holding a precious genuine invitation in her hand. This level's core mechanism is action counter mode (0/3), representing that clearing requires executing 3 core stage target operations. You need to find tools in the school hallway, unlock hidden compartments and successfully copy or seize party admission tickets. This guide will break down 8 extremely detailed physical operation steps to help you push the progress bar step by step to 3/3 for perfect clearance!

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Observe and Lock Screwdriver Tool on Ground: Look around the dim school hallway floor. On the tile in the lower left near the door passage, a blue-yellow handled portable screwdriver is lying.
2. Pick Up Screwdriver to Put in Temporary Prop Bar: Precisely click and hold this screwdriver with your finger, lift it from the ground and put it into your bottom active interaction tool tray.
3. Find Hidden Upper Compartment Inside Locker: Move your view to the inside of the blue-gray locker that Riley is standing next to which is already open. Notice the top layer has a secret iron box fixed with screws.
4. Use Screwdriver to Unscrew Iron Box (Progress 1/3): Drag the screwdriver from the prop bar to the screw hole of the upper iron box in the locker. Rotate clockwise quickly to disassemble the screws and pry open the iron box. Progress bar successfully adds 1.
5. Create Sound to Disturb Riley Looking at Letter: To prevent Riley from discovering, you need to divert her sight. Click the red and blue "SPRING FLING" or "GO WILDCATS!" dance banner hanging overhead.
6. Use Banner Shaking to Cut Riley's Sight Defense: Continuously pull the banner to make it shake greatly, dropping confetti or making sounds. Riley will be attracted by the movement overhead and briefly move her sight away from the invitation in her hand.
7. Seize Genuine Invitation in Riley's Hand While She's Distracted (Progress 2/3): While Riley looks up at the banner in the absolute blind spot, quickly click and hold the black "WILD CATS" genuine invitation she is holding in her right hand and pull it away. Progress bar accumulates to 2/3.
8. Combine with Tools in Iron Box to Forge 3 Cards (Progress 3/3): Drag the seized genuine invitation into the upper iron box in the locker just unscrewed in Step 4. The iron box contains an oil print copy template. After combining the two, it will automatically print out 3 perfect clone invitations (progress bar fills to 3/3). Claire's trio successfully gets admission tickets and cuts into clearance cutscene!

Pro Tips

• Blind spot quick pickup: Directly pick up the screwdriver in the lower left corner in the first second of opening without waiting for the dialogue box text above Riley's head to completely fade, which can save 3 seconds.
• Strictly follow sequence logic: You must first use the screwdriver to pry open the upper iron box (Step 4), then pull the banner to grab the card (Step 7). If you grab the card before preparing the forging iron box, Riley will immediately discover and trigger an alarm, causing failure.
• Ignore irrelevant background interference: The two colorful dance posters on the left wall, the green plant leaves in the flower pots on both sides of the hallway, and the thick textbooks stuffed in the lower layer of the locker are all non-interactive static renderings. Do not click randomly.

Common Mistakes

• Directly forcibly grabbing card in Riley's hand with finger at opening: At this time Riley is staring at the card. Touching the card before pulling the banner (Step 5) to create overhead distraction mechanism will be caught on the spot and judged as failure.
• Using screwdriver as weapon to smash locker door on right: Screwdriver is a functional disassembly prop. If you blindly drag it to physically smash the cabinet, it will not produce any reasonable physical demolition layer and will only bounce back to its original position.
• Directly dragging seized card to passers-by in distant classroom: The seized invitation is exclusive forging material. It must be placed in the secret oil print iron box on the right (Step 8) for triple copying. Giving it to passers-by will cause key props to disappear directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why didn't Riley look up when I clicked the banner overhead (Step 5)?

Because the banner is hung very firmly. Simple "Tap" cannot trigger its physical shaking detection. Please be sure to use the "Press and Swipe Down" force gesture to completely pull it to create sound.

Will the "119" stars in the upper right corner be deducted in this level for forging cards?

No. That represents the total perfect gold star assets you have accumulated in the entire "Hidden Heiress" main line so far. It is only displayed as an honor total value in the upper right corner and will not produce any variable consumption on the 3-point counter mechanism of copying invitations in the hallway in this level.
