Tricky Story Level 197 – Eavesdrop on Riley & Claire

Overview

Need help with this puzzle? Here's a clear, step-by-step guide so you can solve it fast.

Your objective: Help Liam eavesdrop on Riley and Claire's conversation.

Welcome to Tricky Story Story 2 Level 47! The scene is divided into left and right parts by a center large wall. On the right high platform, blonde Claire is extremely arrogantly pushing and threatening Riley wearing "YEP" gray sweatshirt. On the left room, male protagonist Liam (boy in blue and white baseball uniform) is carrying a camera hiding behind the door, trying to eavesdrop and record all their conversations. This level's core mechanism is action counter mode (0/8). You must reasonably use desktop equipment, drones outside the window, cleaning tools on the ground, and decorations on the wall in the left room within the 60-second time limit. Continuously execute 8 successful acoustic, visual or obstacle removal operations. Each correct interaction will add "+1" to the progress bar. Collect 8 points to assist Liam in perfectly collecting ultimate conspiracy evidence!

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.

1. Pick Up Smart Recording Phone on Desk (Progress 1/8): Observe the wooden office desk on the left. A black smartphone/voice recorder is on the desktop. Click and hold this phone and drag it to stuff it into Liam's empty right hand to start close-range sound wave recording.
2. Wear Heavy Bass Monitoring Headphones on Desk (Progress 2/8): Click the black over-ear wired headphones next to the phone. Lift them and precisely drag them to put them on Liam's head to improve his sound capture feedback. Progress bar successfully adds 1.
3. Hand White Paper Cup on Desk to Liam as Amplifier (Progress 3/8): Click the white paper cup standing in the upper left corner of the office desk. Drag it to Liam's left hand covering the door to use the paper cup sound transmission physical gain to amplify the talking sound on the other side of the wall.
4. Control Black Tech Drone Hovering Outside Window (Progress 4/8): Notice outside the red-framed glass window on the left, a black four-axis drone is hovering. Continuously click the drone 2 times quickly. This will activate it to aim at the right high platform through the window for panoramic high-definition capture.
5. Pick Up Feather Duster Lying on Floor (Progress 5/8): At Liam's feet, a long-handled brown feather duster is lying diagonally. Hold it to lift it up and neatly store it in the gap grid of the left office desk.
6. Pick Up White Waste Paper on Ground for Cleaning (Progress 6/8): Click a white waste paper/confidential document scattered on the floor. Pick it up and throw it into the drawer in the lower layer of the office desk to clear ground stepping noise.
7. Click Handsome Doctor Portrait Frame Hanging on Wall (Progress 7/8): Move your gaze to the white wall directly above Liam's head where a white coat male doctor honor portrait is hanging. Click the frame to make it slightly tilt to disrupt the room's original magnetic field and physical penetration.
8. Prop Up Yellow Long Wooden Stick Leaning Against Wall Root (Progress 8/8): Finally (progress bar reaches 7/8), click the yellow long wooden stick leaning diagonally at the bottom edge of the central wooden door. Hold it and prop it up hard to make it completely stuck in the bearing gap of the wooden door as a sound insulation amplification bone conduction medium (progress bar fills to 8/8 full). Liam's camera and phone instantly record full signal. Claire's arrogant blackmail face is completely locked into the cloud for perfect clearance!

Pro Tips

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

• Opening desktop items extreme speed flow: Taking phone (Step 1), taking headphones (Step 2) and handing paper cup (Step 3) are all concentrated on the left office desk. In the first 8 seconds of opening, you can use multiple fingers to frantically alternate drag on the screen left and right without waiting for single adsorption animation to finish. This can instantly take the first 3 progress points.
• Strictly prevent Claire from turning her head: Claire on the right high platform will periodically push Riley or vigilantly look at the left. When a red alarm exclamation mark appears above her head, players must immediately stay still on the screen and pause any item displacement operations in the left room (such as moving wooden stick, picking up paper). Otherwise, they will be caught through the wall on the spot causing stealth failure.
