Tricky Story Level 188 – Frame Riley with Bag Evidence

Overview

This guide covers everything you need to clear this stage — answers, steps, and pro tips.

Your objective: Frame Riley by putting things in her bag.

Welcome to Tricky Story Story 2 Level 38! This level comes to a high-end luxury dress custom shop. Claire and her two vicious followers (trio in lower right corner) are plotting the final crazy counterattack - by stuffing expensive luxury goods from the store into Riley's bag to publicly frame her for theft (frame Riley by putting things in her bag). Riley's best friend Maddie is sitting on the left round stool resting, while Riley's brown backpack is placed next to her. This level's core mechanism is action counter mode (0/9). You need to assist these ill-intentioned bad girls by using iron hammers, display case jewelry, mannequin accessories, and even paintings on the wall in the scene to successfully complete 9 frame-up item placements or prerequisite unlocking operations. Each successfully hidden item will add "+1" to the progress bar. This guide will clarify all frame-up logic to help you steadily push the progress bar to 9/9 to meet plot needs!

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Here's the complete solution. Follow these 9 steps in order — each one is a concrete action you take on screen.

1. Pick Up Black Iron Hammer on Marble Floor (Progress 1/9): Observe next to the green turtle back bamboo potted plant in the lower left corner. A black-handled iron hammer is lying quietly on the floor. Click and hold this iron hammer to put it into the active tool tray. Progress bar successfully adds 1.
2. Use Iron Hammer to Smash Bulletproof Glass Display Case on Right (Progress 2/9): Drag the just-obtained iron hammer to the fully enclosed glass jewelry display case on the independent high platform on the right. Hit it twice continuously to completely smash the glass and eliminate physical obstacles.
3. Stuff High-Luxury Diamond Ring from Display Case into Riley's Backpack (Progress 3/9): Take out the sparkling high-luxury diamond ring/crown from the smashed display case. Drag it across half the room and precisely throw it into Riley's brown backpack on the blue round stool on the left.
4. Remove Gemstone Pendant from Central Mannequin's Neck (Progress 4/9): Notice the long-haired mannequin in the center wearing a golden haute couture long dress. She is wearing a heavy gemstone necklace around her neck. Click and hold this necklace to untie it and also drag it to throw into Riley's brown backpack.
5. Take Down Golden Lucky Cat on High Shelf (Progress 5/9): Above the door in the back hung with striped curtains, there is a wooden high shelf with a golden lucky cat ornament on it. Click the lucky cat with your finger and pull it down, then also stuff it into Riley's backpack.
6. Remove Miniature Crown from Maltese Dog Pet Portrait Frame on Wall (Progress 6/9): Move your view to the white-haired Maltese dog pet portrait hanging on the right wall. Look carefully at the miniature crown worn on the little dog's head in the frame. Click and remove this miniature small crown and hide it in the backpack.
7. Extract Golden Key Hidden at Edge of Lower Left Potted Plant Soil (Progress 7/9): Observe the bottom of the red flower pot in the far lower left corner. A golden spare key chain is hanging in the shadow at the junction of green leaves and potted plant. Pull it out with your finger and move it directly into Riley's bag to push progress to 7/9.
8. Pull Out High-End Brooch from Left Dress Hanger (Progress 8/9): Click the golden clothes hanger on the left full of purple and pink haute couture dresses. Find a shining large brooch/ribbon accessory in the fold corner of the clothes pile. Remove it and throw it into the backpack.
9. Put Claire's Own Luxury Earrings in to Complete Kill (Progress 9/9): Finally (progress bar reaches 8/9), click Claire herself in red top and jeans on the right. Claire will reluctantly remove the luxury earrings worn on her own ears as the ultimate frame-up iron evidence and throw them into the backpack. Progress bar instantly fills to 9/9. The three bad girls look at each other and show sinister smiles. Successfully set up the trap for perfect clearance!

Pro Tips

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

• Seamless connection quick pickup: Directly use two fingers to operate simultaneously in the first second of opening: left hand picks up iron hammer on ground (Step 1), right hand clicks left furniture clothes hanger (Step 8). This two-finger parallel operation can save 5 seconds.
• Strictly follow "break window then frame" logic: You must first use iron hammer to smash glass display case (Step 2). Only then will the system unlock the Hitbox of the diamond ring inside. If you directly click the diamond ring inside at 0/9 progress, the character will be unable to take it because of hitting the glass layer.
