Overview
This guide covers everything you need to clear this stage — answers, steps, and pro tips.
Your objective: Help Claire, Lexi, and Jenna get invitation cards to the party.
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
Here's the complete solution. Follow these 8 steps in order — each one is a concrete action you take on screen.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
Use these tips to make things easier — they cover the common traps and fastest route through.
- 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.
