START

PRESS ESC TO EXIT

You decide to spend the day at the Art Gallery with permission from your parents, with one

condition – You must not be late arriving home for dinner.

CONTINUE

At the Art Gallery you tour the paintings until you come across one that catches your eye.

Leaning in a little closer, you examine the detail and textures of the piece. You lean in a

little more…

CONTINUE

Your foot slips and you fall forward, but instead of hitting the wall you keep going and find yourself inside the painting! You need to escape or you’ll be late getting home! You see a path at a junction, but which way do you go?

LEFT RIGHT

The ground starts to shake and the painting around you begins to become jumbled with

thick outlines and abstract properties.

RUN BACK TO THE JUNCTION

CONTINUE FORWARD

You turn the corner and see Picasso's The Weeping Woman coming straight for you with a runny nose and a hanky! She leans on your

shoulder and cries. There's no way you're getting out of this mess.

RETURN TO THE JUNCTION

After a while of walking you realise the path has disappeared. You attempt to rely on your

senses.

MMM.. THAT SMELLS GOOD...

THE GROUND FEELS DAMP IN

THIS DIRECTION...

IS THAT SOMEONE SCREAMING?!

You stumble upon Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper and Jesus offers you some bread and

wine which you take graciously.

HANG WITH JESUS

CONTINUE ON YOUR JOURNEY

You listen as Jesus speaks to his apostles. He directs his attention to you and says, “At the end of it all, choose the right." He then bids

you farewell.

CONTINUE ON YOUR JOURNEY

You can see Monet's Water Lilies, and beyond that, what appears to be an exit!

RETURN TO WHERE THE PATH

DISAPPEARED

ATTEMPT TO SWIM ACROSS THE POND

Your foot gets caught on a water lily and you drown! Looks like you're not getting home for

dinner.

RETURN TO THE JUNCTION

The sky has turned a deep red and you realise that you are walking on a board walk next to a body of water. The screaming is getting louder

the further you walk.

RETURN TO WHERE THE PATH

DISAPPEARED

BREAK INTO A RUN, SOMEONE COULD

NEED HELP!

By now you can see the source of the agonizing sound; Edvard Munch's The Scream! You fall to the floor with your hands over your ears in an attempt to block out the terrifying

sound. So much for getting home.

RETURN TO THE JUNCTION

As you walk, you realise with joy that you have found the path again, however your joy is

short lived as you realise you have come to yet another junction!

SOMETHING IS URGING YOU TO COME CLOSER...

THIS WAY SEEMS VERY DARK AND

GLOOMY…

LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF LIGHTS AND

BOLD SPLOTCHES…

LOOKS LIKE THE HEAT IS RISING OVER HERE...

The detail in the paintwork around you increases and things are beginning to look a lot

more realistic.

RETURN TO WHERE THE PATH

DISAPPEARED

SOUNDS LIKE AN EXIT INTO THE REAL WORLD!

You don't realise you've come face to face with Da Vinci's Mona Lisa until it's too late! Is she

smiling or frowning? Your confusion stuns you and you can't tear your eyes away from her

face. Better luck next time.

RETURN TO THE JUNCTION

The objects around you seem to be melting in the heat and there are a lot more insects

crawling around.

RETURN TO WHERE THE PATH

DISAPPEARED

IF THE PAINT MELTS YOU MIGHT BE ABLE

TO ESCAPE!

Oh no! It's become so hot you've started to melt too! And are those... melting clocks?!

You've come across Dali's The Persistence of Memory. Looks like your dinner's going to be

extremely cold if you ever get back home.

RETURN TO THE JUNCTION

You are swept up into Van Gogh's Starry Night and find yourself at the very top of the Cypress

tree. The flowing colours and fluid brush movements are making the tree shake and

your grip is starting to slip.

HOLD ON TO THE TREE FOR YOUR

LIFE!

LET GO AND FACE THE GRUNT OF

WINDS!

The winds become too strong and tear the tree right out by the roots, taking you with it. Before your hit the ground you realise you will never even know what your parents made for

dinner.

RETURN TO THE JUNCTION

You fly through various paintings until you finally land in front of an enormous wall with a backwards version of the painting you first fell in to. Hurrah! You begin to walk forward but

your foot bumps against something.

PICK IT UPRUN SUPER FAST TOWARDS THE

WALL

You run into a solid wall and hurt your head, making you forget all about trying to escape and even your own name. Guess you won't

be... uhh... what were you doing again?

RETURN TO THE JUNCTION

It’s so dark you can’t even see your feet! Your eyes eventually adjust and you realise you're

not surrounded by black, but very dark shades of purple, blue and green. As you continue the

colours become lighter and more radiant.

CONTINUE FORWARD

You find yourself in front of an enormous wall with a backwards version of the painting you

first fell in to. Hurrah! You begin to walk forward but your foot bumps against

something.

PICK IT UPRUN SUPER FAST TOWARDS THE

WALL

You hold what looks like an unfinished artist's statement for the painting you fell through. You reason that perhaps if you can finish it

then you'll be able to escape. It reads; "______ paints were used to create this artwork."

METALLIC MONOCHROMATICGRAYSCALE WATERCOLOUR

Perhaps you need to take a look at the painting again.

RETURN TO THE JUNCTION

Yes! Because everything was painted using one colour, with white and black for toning, monochromatic is right! You hear a rumble and light flashes before

your eyes! You blink a couple of times and realise that you are back in the gallery! You jump to your feet and race out a minute before closing time. Now

for the real trouble - explaining why you're home late to your parents.

GOOD LUCK!
