Tricky Story Level 266 – Help Cece Score ≤4 Points

Overview

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

Your objective: Help Cece score no more than 4 points on the exam.

The objective of this level is to help Cece fail her entrance exam by ensuring her final score is no more than 4 points. This requires intentionally selecting incorrect answers for a series of quiz questions, incorrectly identifying valuable items, and demonstrating poor etiquette.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Here's the complete solution. Follow these 11 steps in order — each one is a concrete action you take on screen.

1. To begin the exam and intentionally lower Cece's score, tap 'The fallen kingdom of Eryador' as the answer to the first question, 'Which dark church did King Altair I defeat to found the Altair dynasty?', as this is the incorrect option.
2. For the second question, '2.1+1=?', tap '1' to provide an incorrect mathematical answer, further reducing Cece's score.
3. For the third question, 'How many days are there in a year?', tap '366' to provide the correct answer (implying a leap year), which will unexpectedly increase Cece's score. While this is a correct answer, the overall strategy is to fail, so this step slightly hinders the primary objective but is shown in the gameplay.
4. For the fourth question, 'Who is the crown prince of the kingdom?', tap 'Prince Louis' to select the incorrect crown prince, ensuring another point deduction for Cece.
5. Transitioning to the item identification challenge, where the goal is to 'find the valuable items', drag the 'cloth' item from the inventory to the left vase to reveal its details, then remove the cloth. Next, tap the 'right vase' to incorrectly identify it as non-valuable (or fake), causing Cece's score to drop.
6. For the second item identification task involving paintings, drag the 'magnifying glass' from the inventory to the right painting to examine it, then drag the magnifying glass to the left painting (Mona Lisa replica) to inspect it. Then, tap the 'left painting' (Mona Lisa replica) to incorrectly identify it as the valuable item, leading to another score reduction for Cece.
7. For the third item identification task involving bracelets, drag the 'wine glass' from the inventory to the right bracelet to pour water on it, revealing it as fake by its color change. Then, drag the wine glass to the left bracelet to pour water on it, showing it is genuine. To fail, tap the 'right bracelet' to incorrectly identify it as valuable, causing Cece's score to decrease.
8. Moving to the etiquette test, for the question 'Where should the napkin be placed correctly?', tap the 'bottom right image' which depicts the napkin tucked into the collar, as this is the incorrect placement for formal dining etiquette.
9. For the next etiquette question, 'Choose the appropriate utensil for eating soup.', tap the 'ladle' to select the incorrect utensil, as a regular spoon is typically used for individual soup servings.
10. For the final etiquette question, 'What should you do if you want to call a servant for service?', tap 'Shout the servant's name' to demonstrate poor manners, ensuring Cece's score drops to 2, successfully meeting the objective of scoring no more than 4 points.
11. Observe the final comic strip sequence confirming Cece's low score and her admission to remedial class, indicating the successful completion of the level's objective.

Pro Tips

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

• Always remember the core objective: 'Help Cece score no more than 4 points.' This means you should aim for incorrect answers or choices that result in score deductions, rather than correct ones.
• For item identification puzzles, carefully observe the clues. If an item is a 'replica' or reacts negatively to a test (like changing color with water), it's likely the fake one. To fail, you often need to pick the genuine item or the one that appears valuable but is not the target of the 'find valuable' instruction if the goal is to get it wrong.
• In etiquette challenges, common sense and knowledge of proper manners are inverted. Choose the option that represents poor etiquette to ensure Cece fails that section.
