Overview
Stuck on this challenge? This walkthrough breaks down every step so you can move on quickly.
Welcome to Tricky Story Story 2 Level 8! Claire (the girl in the pink dress on the right) is eyeing the ancestral watch on Riley's wrist (the orange-haired girl next to her wearing stained jeans). In the school corridor full of lockers, everyone is preparing for the "Spring Fling" dance. This level's core mechanism is counter mode (0/8). You can't directly grab the watch, but must interact with the corridor environment, couples, trash cans, and banners within 60 seconds to successfully execute 8 prank operations that add "+1" to the progress bar, divert everyone or create chaos, and finally make the perfect move! Time Limit: 60 seconds
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Here's the complete solution. Follow these 8 steps in order — each one is a concrete action you take on screen.
- Pull Down the Ribbon Above the Couple: Observe the couple flirting on the left. Press and hold the red, blue, and white decorative ribbon hanging above their heads and pull it down to tear it off completely.
- Kick the Papers on the Corridor Floor: Click the large stack of white waste papers scattered at the couple's feet, tap several times to kick them around or pile them open, interfering with the road surface.
- Pop the Balloons on the Left: Move your view to the left side locker, where three red, blue, and white balloons are tied. Click the balloons and pop them with your finger. The loud bursting sound will startle people around.
- Lift the Fire Extinguisher and Spray: Click the red-bottomed black-nozzled fire extinguisher leaning against the wall in the lower left corner. Lift it and drag it to the middle of the corridor, spraying a cloud of white dry powder smoke on the ground to block vision.
- Push Over the Trash Can at the End of the Corridor: See the gray metal trash can next to the corridor door directly ahead. Double-click or swipe it horizontally to push it directly to the ground.
- Pull Down the "GO WILDCATS!" Banner: Press and hold the red "GO WILDCATS!" cheer banner hanging in the middle back of the corridor. Swipe down quickly to tear the entire banner off and cover it on the couple's heads.
- Mess Up the Couple's Boy's Hair: Click the spiky head of the boy in the green hoodie. Rub your finger left and right on it to completely mess up his hairstyle into a bird's nest, causing an argument between him and his girlfriend.
- Distract Riley and Execute the Final Theft: After the previous chaos has diverted everyone's attention and vision (progress bar reaches 7/8), click Claire's empty hand and precisely drag it to Riley's left wrist, unbuckle and successfully pull away the watch. Progress bar fills to 8/8 for perfect clearance!
Pro Tips
Use these tips to make things easier — they cover the common traps and fastest route through.
- Multi-touch to save time: Pulling the ribbon (Step 1) and popping balloons (Step 3) can be operated simultaneously with two fingers without waiting for the animation to finish, maximizing the 60-second time limit.
- Ignore secondary dead backgrounds: The thick textbooks in the locker behind Claire and the English letters on the boy and girl's clothes are all non-interactive static textures. Don't blindly click randomly.
