Tricky Story 3 level guide
Tricky Story 3 Level 40 Walkthrough
Tricky Story 3 Level 40 is a hidden-object puzzle where Cece searches a rural farm yard for 11 missing cats. The scene features a wooden cottage with a shingled roof, a stone well, a mud puddle, a sandbox with flowers, a wooden fence, and scattered rocks. Cats of every color — grey on the roof, orange near the fruit basket, white behind rocks — hide in unexpected spots. Tapping interactive objects like the well and rocks reveals cats that are otherwise invisible.
Board Notes
- Layout
- A rural farm yard with a wooden cottage (shingled roof), a stone well to the left, a wooden fence in the background, green trees, a dirt/mud puddle in the center, a sandbox with flowers on the right, and scattered rocks and boulders. A grey cat sits on the cottage roof. An orange tabby is near a basket of fruit. A cat bed/sandbox sits near flowers.
- Goal
- Find all 11 missing cats across 11 rounds (1/11 to 11/11) by searching every hiding spot in the yard.
- Opening
- Scan for visible cats first — the grey one on the roof and the orange tabby near the fruit basket. Then tap less obvious locations: behind rocks, inside the well area, under the fence.
- Danger Zone
- Some cats blend perfectly with their surroundings — grey cat on grey roof, brown cat near brown fence. The mud puddle and sandbox look interactive but check if they actually hide a cat before moving on. Missing any single cat means replaying.
- Mechanics
- A hidden-object puzzle with 11 cats scattered across a farm yard. Hiding spots include: cottage roof, behind boulders, near the well, in bushes, under the fence, by the flower sandbox, near the fruit basket, and around the house walls. Some cats require tapping their hiding object first (well, rocks) to make them appear.
Quick Tips for Tricky Story 3 Level 40 (spoiler-free)
- Tap every object in the yard — some cats only appear after interacting with their hiding spot. Check the roof, well, behind every rock, and under the fence.
- Focus on one color at a time: finish the cleanest grouping, then reassess the whole board before the next move.
- If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
