Tricky Story Beginner's Guide: Master Your First 10 Levels

Tricky Story is a cartoon brain-teaser game where each level hides a clever twist behind a funny mini-story. If you've just downloaded it, the early levels can still trip you up — the obvious action is almost never the right one. This guide covers how Tricky Story works, quick solutions for levels 1–10, and the habits that make the rest of the game feel fair.

How Tricky Story Actually Works

Most puzzle games teach you one mechanic and repeat it. Tricky Story does the opposite: every level is a self-contained scene with its own goal, props, and joke. You might be dressing Anna, setting traps for a stalker, or helping Riley win a talent show. The goal text tells you what to achieve, but never how.

The core interactions are simple — tap, drag, and combine — but the trick is figuring out which objects matter and in what order. Characters react (a speech bubble or a worried expression) when you're on the right track, so watch the screen, not just the items.

Top 5 Tips for Tricky Story Beginners

1. Tap everything that looks decorative. Background objects are often interactive props in disguise.
2. Read the goal text word by word. The instruction is the puzzle, not a hint — literal wording is a common Tricky Story trick.
3. Drag items onto the character AND onto each other. Some objects only unlock after they meet another item.
4. Revisit items after a scene change. A prop that did nothing earlier may become draggable once the story advances.
5. Use the level screenshot on our walkthrough pages to confirm you're on the right page before reading the solution.

Tricky Story Levels 1–10 Quick Solutions

The first ten levels of Story 1 each teach a single mechanic, so they're the best place to build good habits:

• Level 1 — Drag the dress, shoes, water, medicine, porridge, fruit, flowers, and photo to Anna in sequence. Order matters: feed her before dressing her.
• Level 2 — Find the 10 "wrong" details in the living room by tapping each oddity.
• Levels 3–9 — Each introduces one new interaction type (keys, dragging multiple items, timed sequences).
• Level 10 — Combines everything: set 9 traps using the hammer, ink, wrench, gasoline, bone, stone, and more, then call the police.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Rushing through levels without exploring. Tricky Story rewards players who slow down and look.
• Ignoring character reactions. A frown or smile is a free hint that you're close.
• Giving up after one failed sequence. Many levels have several valid orders; a slightly different sequence often works.

What Comes After Level 10

Once you've internalized these habits, the game opens up across four versions — Story 1 (60 levels), Normal (90), Story 2 (65), and Story 3 (67). Each version introduces new characters and tougher scenarios, but the core "observe, think, then act" loop stays the same. Browse every Tricky Story level walkthrough whenever you're stuck, and you'll never be blocked for long.
