Tricky Story 3 Level 31 Walkthrough

hard

Tricky Story 3 Level 31 is a river-crossing puzzle where Cece and Lucien must navigate a broken wooden plank bridge over crocodile-infested water. Across 8 rounds, they step on stable planks, avoid snapping crocodiles, and use vines to swing past collapsed sections. 'We have to make it full way safely' sets the stakes, and 'No, it's really safe!' confirms the path when you choose correctly.

Board Notes

Layout: A top-down view of a blue river with a broken wooden plank bridge stretching across. Crocodiles lurk in the water — one near the bridge start, another mid-stream. Green banks with trees and hanging vines frame both sides. Cece (white dress) and Lucien (dark suit) stand at the near bank.
Goal: Cross the river safely across 8 rounds (0/8 to 7/8) by stepping on stable planks, avoiding crocodiles, and using vines to bypass broken sections.
Opening: Step onto the first plank. Identify which boards are cracked — they collapse underfoot. The first crocodile guards the bridge entrance; pick the plank farthest from it.
Danger Zone: Crocodiles snap at anyone who steps on a plank within their reach. Broken planks have visible cracks and collapse instantly. 'We have to make it full way safely' — every wrong step costs hearts and there is no going back.
Mechanics: A hazard-navigation puzzle. Each round presents a choice of planks to step on. Stable planks hold weight; cracked ones collapse. Crocodiles patrol specific zones. Vines hanging from trees can swing the couple over the worst gaps. The couple moves together, so both must fit on each safe section.

Quick Tips for Tricky Story 3 Level 31 (spoiler-free)

Cracked planks collapse — choose intact ones. Crocodiles telegraph their zone. Use hanging vines to swing past the most dangerous gaps.
Focus on one color at a time: finish the cleanest grouping, then reassess the whole board before the next move.
Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
