Tricky Story: Normal Story Level 36 Walkthroughs & Guide

Tricky Story: Normal Level 36 — Prove that Ryan is not qualified to work Guide Overview

I remember playing this one back when hidden-object levels actually made you feel like a sneaky kid. Level 36 drops you into a messy room while Dad is busy with the baby. The whole thing is about timing and order. You have to collect seven items without getting caught. My first run ended with Dad catching me mid-grab. Normal Story Level 36 punishes players who rush. Every item must be taken in a specific sequence. The trick is watching Dad’s movements without staring at him.

Pattern Overview

You must collect distractions and tools before the baby’s needs unlock later items.

The Emotional Sequence

• Ball Under the Bed: Builds confidence with an easy grab while Dad is distracted
• Trash Bin Knockover: Creates a small mess so you can justify searching near it
• Crumpled Paper with Crayon: Turns a boring scrap into a drawing – keeps Anna quiet
• Key Under Bed to Unlock Box: The hidden key feels like a puzzle payoff before a necessary item
• Wheel Under Rug to Stroller: Repairs the stroller so Dad can move the baby farther away
• Window Open for Soda Can: Uses fresh air as an excuse to reach the ledge
• Toy Rattle After Baby Calms: The final grab requires perfect patience

Why This Level Feels Tricky + The Key Insight

Why Tricky

• You can’t tell which items are safe to grab and which trigger Dad’s attention. The ball under the bed looks harmless, but grabbing it too early or late messes up the rhythm.
• The wheel under the rug is hidden so well that most players search the obvious spots first. They waste time and Dad catches them mid-action.

My "Aha!" Moment
I thought I had to grab everything as fast as possible before Dad finished with the baby. So I dashed around, snatching items left and right. Dad always turned at the worst second. After the third restart, I realized the ball and the key were both under the bed – not a coincidence. Normal Story Level 36 groups items near Dad’s blind spots on purpose. The real trick is watching his animation cycle: he looks away when the baby fusses. Once I understood that, each item had a natural window.

Step 1. Foundation Recovery

Grab the ball under the bed first. Normal Story Level 36 opens with this simple pick because it builds your confidence. Dad is still turning away from the crib. The ball is within arm’s reach without any noise. Anna’s inner thought says “Grab the ball under the bed.” She knows it’s safe. After you take it, Dad doesn’t flinch. This step teaches you the core rule: wait for his back to face you.

Step 2. Messy Distraction

Knock over the trash bin, then grab the torn teddy. The bin falls with a soft clatter. Normal Story Level 36 expects you to create noise so Dad looks toward the bin, not toward you. You duck behind the bed. The teddy is half-hidden under the trash. Your timing has to be exact: knock the bin when the baby cries. The crying masks the sound. Grab the teddy before Dad finishes checking the mess.

Step 3. Artistic Alibi

Unfold the crumpled paper near the bin. Use the yellow crayon on the drawing. This step is pure misdirection. Normal Story Level 36 wants you to leave evidence that looks innocent. Anna thinks “Unfold the crumpled paper near the bin, then use the yellow crayon.” Dad sees a kid coloring and relaxes. You must finish the drawing before moving on. The crayon is on the floor next to the bin. If you skip this, Dad becomes suspicious and watches the room longer.

Step 4. Hidden Key Payoff

Use the key under the bed to unlock the box, then grab the baby’s diaper. The key is right where you found the ball earlier. Normal Story Level 36 rewards you for checking the same spot twice. The box is across the room near the window. Unlocking it makes a metallic click. Grab the diaper quickly – Dad’s attention is on the baby’s crying. The diaper feels like a backward prize, but it triggers the next phase.

Step 5. Wheel and Stroller Repair

Take the wheel under the rug, attach it to the stroller, then push it to the right and grab the milk bottle. The rug is in the corner behind the door. Normal Story Level 36 hides the wheel flat against the floor. You’ll feel the bump under your cursor. Attaching the wheel makes the stroller roll smoothly. Push it to the right and the milk bottle appears on the seat. Dad now has a working stroller – he’ll put the baby in it soon.

Step 6. Fresh Air Grab

Open the window to grab the soda can. The window latch is stiff. Normal Story Level 36 forces you to make noise again, but now Dad is strapping the baby into the stroller. The can is on the outer ledge. You have to lean out. Anna thinks “Open the window to grab the soda can.” She knows it’s risky. The cool breeze distracts Dad. He thinks you’re just hot. The can disappears into your pocket.

Step 7. Patient Finale

Wait until Dad calms the baby, then grab the toy rattle. This step is the hardest. Normal Story Level 36 tests your self-control. Dad walks the baby in the stroller back and forth. You have to stay still. The rattle is on the changing table. After the baby stops crying, Dad sets the rattle down and turns to get a cloth. That’s your window. Grab it in one motion. No hesitation.

The Logic Behind It

Normal Story Level 36 is solved by pairing each grab with Dad’s distraction cycle. You either create a noise or wait for the baby’s cries to cover your moves.

Final Scene Description

When I finished, I watched Dad pick up the baby and head outside with the stroller. The rattle sat abandoned on the table. I had collected every item without him noticing. Normal Story Level 36 ended with me sitting cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by my haul – a ball, a patched teddy, a scribbled drawing, a diaper, a milk bottle, a soda can, and a silent rattle. The room felt empty.
