Tricky Story Level 12 Walkthrough

easy

Tricky Story Level 12 is easiest when you build the setup in layers and keep the last trigger for the end. Open with drag the Advertisement Paper from the wall to Ryan, keep the middle support actions in order, and do not jump ahead before you tap the Phone in Ryan's pocket to make it ring.

Board Notes

Layout
Anna needs to sneak past Ryan without being recognized. The important props are the Advertisement Paper, the Box, the Large Plant, and the Bucket. The board is readable at a glance, so the puzzle is less about hidden space and more about spotting which short interaction chain actually advances the scene.
Goal
The real target is to sneak Past Ryan. The board starts to open once you drag the Advertisement Paper from the wall to Ryan, but it does not fully close until you tap the Phone in Ryan's pocket to make it ring.
Opening
Drag the Advertisement Paper from the wall to Ryan. Find the Mask on the advertisement on the wall next. Open the Box on the floor to find Makeup before the rest of the scene starts to shift.
Danger Zone
The easy mistake is opening the correct hiding spot and then stopping there. In these levels, revealing the prop is only half the solve; the real finish comes from using it on the right target immediately.
Mechanics
This level mixes reveal actions with direct placements. The right answer is not just finding the needed prop, but using it quickly enough that the scene can keep advancing.

  • When a drawer, box, or window opens, assume the level still wants one more move. The hidden prop matters only after it is dragged onto the real target.

  • If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
