Overview
This guide covers everything you need to clear this stage — answers, steps, and pro tips.
Your objective: Help Claire secretly spread flyers to smear Riley.
Welcome to Tricky Story Story 2 Level 42! In the late night quiet Brookside High School hallway, jealously maddened Claire (blonde girl in the middle holding a thick stack of flyers) is plotting the final public opinion counterattack - by posting and distributing malicious tabloid flyers everywhere in the school to make other students completely isolate and oppose Riley (spread flyers around the school to turn others against Riley). This level's core mechanism is action counter mode (0/14). To help Claire achieve her goal, you need to precisely paste the malicious flyers she is holding one by one on the iron lockers on the left, the large black bulletin board on the right, and the door deep inside. At the same time, to prevent leaving dead corners, you also need to physically tear and destroy the dance banners and ribbons hanging high above the hallway. Each successful trigger or posting of a target will add "+1" to the progress bar. This guide will provide you with the most precise 14-step action breakdown to help you perfectly fill the progress bar for clearance!
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.
- Extract 1st Flyer to Post on Left Locker #1 (Progress 1/14): Click the red and white tabloid flyer pile Claire is holding in her arms. Hold and drag the top flyer to precisely paste it on the first blue locker door on the far left.
- Extract 2nd Flyer to Post on Left Locker #2 (Progress 2/14): Extract another flyer from her arms again and drag it to paste on the second blue locker door next to it.
- Extract 3rd Flyer to Post on Left Locker #3 (Progress 3/14): Repeat the action to paste the third malicious flyer in the center of the third locker door.
- Extract 4th Flyer to Post on Left Locker #4 (Progress 4/14): Paste the fourth flyer properly on the last fourth blue iron cabinet.
- Pull Down Couple Ribbon to Create Chaos (Progress 5/14): Look up to observe the red and blue decorative ribbon hanging from the ceiling on the upper left. Press and hold the ribbon and execute the Swipe Down gesture to forcefully tear it off.
- Pull Down Second Ribbon on Right Ceiling (Progress 6/14): Similarly, press and hold the second decorative ribbon symmetrically hanging on the lower right ceiling with your finger and swipe down to completely pull it down.
- Tear Open Huge "SPRING FLING" Large Banner Above (Progress 7/14): Lock your view firmly on the red "SPRING FLING" giant dance cloth banner hanging directly above. Press and hold the banner and forcefully swipe down to directly tear most of it and let it hang down. Progress bar successfully adds 1.
- Pull Down "GO WILDCATS!" Promotional Banner in Back (Progress 8/14): Notice the smaller red "GO WILDCATS!" banner hanging above the door deep in the middle back hallway. Execute the downward swipe gesture on it with your finger to completely pull it off the wall iron hook.
- Extract 5th Flyer to Post on Right Wooden Large Bulletin Board (Progress 9/14): Move your gaze to the white wall on the right where a vacant brown wooden frame large bulletin board/blackboard is hanging. Extract a large flyer from Claire's arms and drag it to precisely paste it in the upper left corner of the bulletin board.
- Complete Remaining 5 Flyers for Full Scene Coverage Posting (Progress 14/14): Use multi-finger continuous drag operation to paste the last remaining 5 malicious tabloid flyers from Claire's arms neatly on the right side of the bulletin board and the two open wooden door panels directly in front and on the right. When all 14 tabloid flyers and banner destruction in the whole field are all in place and the hallway is full of clown flyers (progress bar fills to 14/14 full), the screen locks and cuts into Claire clapping and laughing, triumphantly escaping the late night teaching building ultimate villain success cutscene!
Pro Tips
Use these tips to make things easier — they cover the common traps and fastest route through.
- Multi-finger crazy posting flow: The first 4 steps of posting flyers on left iron cabinets can be completely parallel. In the first 10 seconds of opening, you can use left hand index and middle fingers and right hand index finger to alternately frantically click and drag paper from Claire's arms without waiting for paper adsorption animation to finish. This can instantly squeeze out 8 seconds in the 60-second countdown.
- Must strictly follow "front to back" posting: In hard coding detection, you must first paste the 4 blue lockers closest to you (Steps 1-4) before unlocking the Hitbox judgment area of the back and right blackboard. If you directly drag paper to the deepest wooden door at opening, the card will automatically error and bounce back to original position.
