Overview
Need help with this puzzle? Here's a clear, step-by-step guide so you can solve it fast.
Your objective: Help Claire steal all the spotlight at prom.
Welcome to Tricky Story Story 2 Level 51! The prom officially opens, and other excellent students are performing on the center stage, while Claire and Liam are standing on the red carpet below. To completely suppress competitors and steal the spotlight from all the girls on stage, Claire must use all available photography, lighting and makeup props at the scene. This level's core mechanism is action counter mode (0/8). You need to fully utilize the golden powder box on the floor, reflector, photography softbox light on the left, photographer, and chandeliers and onlookers in the back in the prom hall. Continuously execute 8 successful physical enhancements or visual manipulations. Each successful operation will add "+1" to the progress bar. Collect 8 points to help Claire dominate the spotlight!
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.
- Pick Up Golden Luxury Powder Box on Right Floor (Progress 1/8): Observe the purple carpet on the right side where an open golden square powder compact is lying. Click and hold it to put it into the active tool tray at the bottom.
- Apply Makeup to Claire's Face to Activate Shining Effect (Progress 2/8): Drag the just-obtained golden powder box to the face and shoulder area of the central blonde Claire. The powder puff will automatically apply powder, activating a golden "luxury shining micro-light layer" on her skin surface.
- Drag Central Silver Round Reflector for Fill Light (Progress 3/8): Click the silver round professional reflector standing on the ground behind Claire. Hold it and move it to the right, precisely adjusting the angle to reflect and focus the surrounding light on Claire.
- Turn Up Left Professional Studio Softbox Light Brightness (Progress 4/8): Move your view to the leftmost side. Adjust the black giant square softbox light standing there, click its side power switch and bracket to direct the strong beam at Claire and Liam.
- Forcibly Turn Photographer's Lens to Snap Claire (Progress 5/8): Click the professional photographer uncle in gray short sleeves and jeans with his back to the player in the front left row. Click his arm or DSLR camera to forcibly turn his lens focus from the silver dress girl on the background stage to frantically photograph Claire.
- Continuously Click Two Crystal Chandeliers on Ceiling (Progress 6/8): Cast your view upward. Click the two extremely luxurious European-style crystal chandeliers hanging on the ceiling. Continuously click them 2 times quickly to adjust the main power, making the background lights dim while highlighting the front row lighting.
- Dismiss Two Red and Green Dress Girls Taking Photos in Back Row (Progress 7/8): Notice the right back background where two female classmates in red and green are holding smartphones and whispering. Click the phone screens in their hands to forcibly turn them off or disrupt their attention, making them have to turn their heads to look at Claire wrapped in golden light.
- Adjust White Mink Fur Shawl on Claire's Shoulder (Progress 8/8): When the previous 7 core spotlight mechanisms of makeup, reflector, photography lights, and chandeliers are completely locked on Claire (progress bar reaches 7/8), click the white fox fur/white mink fur shawl draped on Claire's arm. Swipe up gently to completely lift the shawl to the shoulder and shake it twice (progress bar fills to 8/8 full). Flashlights, spotlights and stage lights roar and burst simultaneously, the background stage girl instantly completely eclipsed. Claire perfectly steals the entire C position spotlight. Clearance success!
Pro Tips
Use these tips to make things easier — they cover the common traps and fastest route through.
- Multi-finger parallel action flow: Picking golden powder on the right floor (Step 1) and turning on the giant softbox light on the left (Step 4) are completely on both sides of the body, non-conflicting layers. In the first second of opening, directly use both thumbs simultaneously to save 4 seconds of surplus time in the 60-second hard time limit.
- Pay attention to reflector and photographer logic sequence: You must first use the reflector (Step 3) and fill light (Step 4) to stack Claire's "highlight reflection volume" in the scene before the gray short-sleeved photographer on the left (Step 5) will be allowed to move the lens over. If you skip lighting and directly click the photographer, the camera lens will automatically bounce back to the background stage due to focus mismatch.
