Tricky Story 3 Level 3 is a dining survival puzzle where Cecilia must endure the servant Nina's bullying by eating spoiled food without losing her temper. Choose 'Eat the food' at the start, then pick the less rotten option in each of 6 food-comparison rounds — bread, soup, fruit — while staying calm. The reward for patience is the butler catching and punishing Nina on your behalf.

Board Notes

Layout: Cecilia sits in a tall ornate white chair at a dining table inside a grey-paneled room. The servant Nina stands to the left in a black-and-white maid uniform. Several dishes of visibly spoiled food sit on the table — greenish bowls, dark plates, and questionable servings. A blue flower vase decorates the right side.
Goal: Survive 6 rounds of the servants' bullying by making calm choices and picking the less spoiled dish in each food-comparison pair.
Opening: The first choice is critical: 'Slap the servant Nina' / 'Flip the dining table' / 'Eat the food.' Only 'Eat the food' is correct — both aggressive options fail immediately.
Danger Zone: The food pairs look similar and the fancier dish is often the rotten one. In the soup round, pick the golden bowl over the green one. The final dialogue choice is also a trap — 'Leave me alone' is the only correct calm response.
Mechanics: A survival-choice puzzle with food-comparison rounds. After enduring all the bad food, a cutscene shows the butler and a blonde man discovering Nina's bullying. The butler grabs Nina's arm and punishes her. The level ends with a final dialogue choice where calm wins again.
