Tricky Story: Story 2 Level 9 Walkthroughs & Guide

Tricky Story: Story 2 Level 9 — Help Riley expose Claire’s identity Guide Overview

I needed a couple of tries before I understood what Tricky Story 2 Level 9 was actually asking. The dialogue kept mentioning a missing watch and a claim about being the real Ashford heir, but the game wanted me to drag objects to Claire – not hunt for evidence. My first attempt just clicked everything at random, which did nothing. The trick is to realize Claire is a liar, and each item you push at her cracks her story a little more. The order isn’t arbitrary; it’s a psychological escalation. Once I stopped treating it like a scavenger hunt and started reading the social cues, the whole level clicked.

Pattern Overview

Tricky Story 2 Level 9 turns detective work into a social confrontation: you must chip away at a liar’s confidence one prop at a time.

The Emotional Sequence

• Bouquet Before Accusation: Flowers disarm Claire, lowering her guard before you challenge her identity.
• Microphone Before Exposure: Amplifying her voice makes every stumble public, so everyone hears the cracks.
• Cat Before Loyalty Test: The cat’s reaction reveals who Claire truly trusts – not the impostor.
• Book Before Evidence: The textbook from a classmate contains attendance records that contradict her story.
• Camera Before Record: The reporter’s camera captures her lie on film, creating undeniable proof.
• Paper Before Contradiction: The teacher’s attendance sheet shows Claire wasn’t where she claimed to be.
• Blue Hoodie Before Confrontation: The real Ashford heir steps forward, forcing a direct face-off.
• Window Before Resolution: Opening the window lets the truth physically enter – the genuine Claire climbs through.

Why This Level Feels Tricky + The Key Insight

Confusion points:

• Players might think they need to collect all items first and then use them together. That does nothing.
• The window step feels completely random – why open it at the end? You won’t guess that the real Claire arrives through it until you try. My “Aha!” Moment: I assumed I could gather everything and then confront Claire all at once. So I spent five minutes dragging items around the room without using them on her. Then I noticed the dialogue line “Stop trying. Everyone here believes I’m the real Ashford” after I dragged the bouquet – that triggered the realization that Tricky Story 2 Level 9 is about progressive social pressure, not inventory management. I understood that each item must be used immediately to weaken her alibi step by step, like peeling an onion.

Step 1. Bouquet Before Accusation

Why start here? Tricky Story 2 Level 9 opens with the bouquet because you need to disarm Claire before making accusations. Drag it to her – she thanks you politely, but her expression flickers. This lowers her guard, making the next steps hit harder. Anna’s thought? “Mistress, I have arrived” – but that’s the cat later.

Step 2. Microphone After Flowers

With Claire relaxed, grab the microphone from the stage. Tricky Story 2 Level 9 then forces you to drag it to her – her voice booms across the classroom. “Slam!!” echoes as she drops the flowers. Now everyone hears her stammer when asked about the watch. Her confidence wavers publicly.

Step 3. Cat to Test Loyalty

The cat hides behind the teacher’s desk. Drag it to Claire. Tricky Story 2 Level 9 uses the cat’s reaction to expose the impostor – the animal hisses and backs away. “The Master is calling, goodbye Mistress,” Anna whispers. That’s your cue: the cat only trusts the real Ashford.

Step 4. Book from Classmate’s Bag

Open the classmate’s bag on the left desk, then drag the textbook to Claire. Tricky Story 2 Level 9 reveals the attendance sheet tucked inside – it shows the real Claire was at a different school during the watch theft. “It's impossible... I left the watch right here!” Claire shouts, but the evidence contradicts her.

Step 5. Reporter’s Camera

The reporter stands by the window. Drag his camera to Claire. Tricky Story 2 Level 9 then plays a recorded video of the real Claire at the PE class – the impostor’s alibi crumbles. The screen pulls back to show the class murmuring. “Ha ha, you look so sluggish!” Anna’s inner voice mocks the fake.

Step 6. Teacher’s Paper

The teacher holds a clipboard. Drag the paper to Claire. Tricky Story 2 Level 9 now forces a direct contradiction: the paper says the new student arrived late, but Claire claimed she was early. “I'm sorry,” she mumbles. One piece of evidence remains missing — the guy in blue.

Step 7. Blue Hoodie Guy

He’s standing outside the window, visible through the glass. Drag him into the scene. Tricky Story 2 Level 9 triggers his entrance – he climbs through after you open the window next. But first, dragging him to Claire makes her gasp. “How could this be... This watch is mine,” the real Ashford says, holding up the watch.

Step 8. Open the Window

Tricky Story 2 Level 9 ends with this action because the real Claire needs a physical way in. Drag the window open – the blue hoodie guy steps through. The impostor’s face goes white. “Attention everyone!” the teacher announces. The fake is exposed, and the class gasps. The screen zooms out to show the whole room in shock.

The Logic Behind It

Tricky Story 2 Level 9 is solved by escalating social pressure: you disarm Claire, expose her lies publicly, present irrefutable evidence, and finally confront her with the real heir. The method is to use each prop immediately to weaken her credibility before the next blow lands.

Final Scene Description

I watched the blue hoodie guy step through the open window, the missing watch glinting on his wrist. The impostor’s face drained of color. “This watch is mine,” he said. The teacher nodded, and the class erupted. Tricky Story 2 Level 9 ended with the fake being led away, the real Claire taking her seat. The watch gleamed under the fluorescent lights, and Riley smiled.
