Tricky Story Level 178 – Dodge Claire’s Drink Attack

Overview

Stuck on this challenge? This walkthrough breaks down every step so you can move on quickly.

Your objective: Help Riley avoid Claire's drink attack.

Welcome to Tricky Story Story 2 Level 28! At the lively indoor party, angry Claire (girl in black dress on the left) is holding a wine glass, preparing to surprise attack and splash Riley who is happily chatting with Liam. This level's core mechanism is action counter mode (0/10). Before Claire officially launches the attack, you need to make full use of various items in the party room: scissors on the table, magazines, scattered red cups, umbrellas, leather bags on the ground, and even hanging colorful balloons and parrots on the windowsill. Each successful trigger of protection, setting up defense lines or interfering with Claire will add "+1" to the progress bar. Collect 10 successful blocking interactions to completely disintegrate Claire's vicious attack!

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Here's the complete solution. Follow these 10 steps in order — each one is a concrete action you take on screen.

1. Pick Up Large Red Scissors on Front White Table (Progress 1/10): Observe the bar at the bottom covered with white tablecloth. Click the large red-handled scissors in the center of the table to put them into the interaction tool tray.
2. Cut Balloon Rope to Create Large-Scale Interference (Progress 2/10): Drag the scissors just obtained to the rope knot of the large bunch of colorful balloons hanging in the center above. Cut the rope with one scissor. The balloons will instantly fly around and block Claire's aiming sight.
3. Turn Open Fashion Magazine on Table to Block Sight (Progress 3/10): Click the black-covered fashion magazine to the left of the scissors on the white table. Swipe up to turn it completely open and stand it up to form a small barrier on the table.
4. Stack Scattered Red Plastic Cups on Table (Progress 4/10): Several red plastic cups are scattered on the far left of the white table. Press and hold them and stack them one by one to organize the table and free up physical interaction space.
5. Pull Out Black Umbrella from Black Umbrella Bucket (Progress 5/10): A cylindrical black umbrella stand is standing under the balloons. Click the gold curved handle umbrella inserted in the umbrella bucket and pull it out.
6. Open Black Umbrella as Blocking Shield (Progress 6/10): Drag the pulled-out umbrella directly into the space between Liam and Riley. Click the umbrella to completely open it in the air, forming a hardcore folding shield that blocks liquid splashing.
7. Move Away Black Handbag on Ground (Progress 7/10): A large black leather handbag is on the floor at Riley's feet. Press and hold the leather bag and move it to the right edge to clear aisle obstacles so Riley can adjust her position more flexibly.
8. Click Colorful Parrot Perched on Window Frame (Progress 8/10): Move your view to the upper right corner. A green-feathered red-chested parrot is perched on an open glass window frame. Click the parrot 2 times quickly. It will make a piercing cry and flutter down, distracting the attention of passers-by in the whole field.
9. Seize Pink Bubble Gum from Black-Clothed Girl in Lower Right (Progress 9/10): A black-haired girl in a leather jacket is standing in the lower right corner blowing a big pink bubble gum in her mouth. Click and seize her bubble gum and stick it on the floor tile at Claire's about-to-lunge foot bottom.
10. Trigger Pulling Curtain to Complete Final Sight Blockade (Progress 10/10): After the umbrella shield, balloons and parrot are all in place (progress bar reaches 9/10), click the white large curtain hanging next to the window and pull it hard to the left. The curtain smoothly covers half the room (progress bar fills to 10/10). Claire's wine splash is completely blocked by the umbrella and curtain, instead bouncing back and splashing herself. Riley perfectly avoids the wine attack for successful clearance!

Pro Tips

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

• Multi-finger operation crazy hand speed: Taking scissors to cut balloons (Steps 1 & 2) and pulling umbrella (Step 5) are completely parallel to each other. You can use left and right hands with two fingers to work simultaneously to handle scissors and umbrella bucket, which can save 10 seconds.
• Echo curtain mechanism from beginning to end: The final curtain pulling (Step 10) is the fuse that triggers the grand finale. Be sure to ensure that the defensive umbrella has been opened in Step 6. Otherwise, even if you pull the curtain, it will leak water stains due to inadequate defense, causing failure.
