Your objective: Help Linda set up a luxurious pool party.

Welcome to Tricky Story Story 2 Level 18! Fake socialite Claire is yelling at her mother Linda who is setting up on site with her phone (upper left window), making various luxury party demands. The site is currently a mess with broken tables and balloon debris all over the ground. This level introduces high-difficulty multi-component counting mode (0/12). Clearing requires completing 12 successful effective interaction operations in total. You need to reasonably use bright flower petals, balloons, paint, high-end vases on the ground, and flamingos and sun in the sky. Each successful assembly, repair or placement of a prop will add "+1" to the progress bar. Collect 12 points to help mom perfectly replicate the luxury scene within the time limit!

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Here's the complete solution. Follow these 12 steps in order — each one is a concrete action you take on screen.

1. Click Donut Box in Mother's Hand (Progress 1/12): Click the brown donut box in the hand of mother Linda who is making a phone call in front. She will open it and place it on the old wooden table in the middle as a party appetizer dessert.
2. Pick Up Pink Balloon Pile on Ground to Inflate (Progress 2/12): Click the large pile of pink deflated balloons scattered on the floor in the lower left corner, lift them up and drag them to the automatic air pump interface on the flower box steps on the right.
3. Continuously Click Air Pump to Inflate Pink Balloons (Progress 3/12): After the balloons are put on the interface, continuously click the air pump 3 times quickly to blow them into a large bunch of beautiful pink balloon bouquets. Progress bar successfully adds 1.
4. Hang Inflated Pink Balloons on Right White Fence (Progress 4/12): Press and hold this bunch of inflated pink balloons and drag them to hang on top of the white wooden fence (Fence) on the right to increase party atmosphere.
5. Extract Purple Paint on Right Flower Box (Progress 5/12): There are two cans of paint next to the air pump. Click the purple paint/paint can (Paint Can) and lift it up and drag it to the surface of the shabby gray stone table in the middle for spraying.
6. Use Paint to Refurbish Shabby Stone Table (Progress 6/12): Smear the paint back and forth on the table surface. The stone table will instantly become an extremely high-end luxurious pink-purple marble texture long dining table.
7. Move White Vintage Vase on Left Ground (Progress 7/12): Click the carved white porcelain vase (Vase) standing on the lower left under the table. Press and hold it and drag it to place it smoothly on the left end of the refurbished marble long table.
8. Move Second White Vase on Right Ground (Progress 8/12): Similarly, click the second white porcelain vase on the right ground and drag it symmetrically to place it on the right end of the long table.
9. Collect Scattered Pink Rose Petals to Insert in Vases (Progress 9/12): Click the pink rose petal piles dropped under the white fence on the right and by the pool. Pick them up and stuff them into the two white vases just placed respectively.
10. Pick Up Inflatable Water Gun on Ground and Throw in Pool (Progress 10/12): Click the red and blue toy water gun/inflatable syringe lying under the stone table on the floor. Lift it up and throw it directly into the sparkling blue swimming pool as a water interactive prop.
11. Click Pink Flamingos Flying in Sky (Progress 11/12): After props are processed, look up. Click the two pink flamingos (Flamingos) flying side by side in the sky. They will hover over the mansion, adding natural luxury to the manor.
12. Click Golden Sun in Upper Right to Switch Perfect Weather (Progress 12/12): Finally, click the dazzling golden sun icon in the upper right corner. The scorching sun outside the hall shines in and the water surface ripples with bright pink "7" and "9" dazzling reflections (progress bar fills to 12/12). Linda mom finally completes the luxury party perfectly before her daughter comes home to clear the level!

Pro Tips

Use these tips to make things easier — they cover the common traps and fastest route through.

• Efficient inflation and parallel actions: Balloon inflation (Step 3) requires continuous clicking. During the 2-second animation of balloon expansion, you can quickly use the other hand to move the white vase (Step 7) on the ground. Two-finger operation can steadily outrun the countdown in the upper right corner.
• Pay attention to paint and stone table order: You must first use purple paint (Step 5) to refurbish the shabby stone table into a marble dining table. Only then will the system allow you to place vases and donuts steadily on the table. Otherwise props will keep bouncing back to their original positions.
