Description
The crossword puzzle must be filled in correctly to complete the activity. The player can click any space on the crossword puzzle to select it, and then start typing letters in from there.

There are small yellow arrows for scrolling up and down through the clues. The answers to the crossword puzzle can be found by exploring the museum, and either reading the descriptions of paintings/photographs for the art-related clues, or by looking over the large globe in the geography room for geography-related clues.
