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? RIGHT LEFT
The ground starts to shake and the painting around you begins to become jumbled with thick outlines and abstract properties. CONTINUE FORWARD RUN BACK TO THE JUNCTION
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. THE GROUND FEELS DAMP IN THIS DIRECTION... MMM.. THAT SMELLS GOOD... 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. CONTINUE ON YOUR JOURNEY HANG WITH JESUS
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! ATTEMPT TO SWIM ACROSS THE POND RETURN TO WHERE THE PATH DISAPPEARED
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. BREAK INTO A RUN, SOMEONE COULD NEED HELP! RETURN TO WHERE THE PATH DISAPPEARED
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! LOOKS LIKE THE HEAT IS RISING OVER HERE... THIS WAY SEEMS VERY DARK AND GLOOMY… SOMETHING IS URGING YOU TO COME CLOSER... LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF LIGHTS AND BOLD SPLOTCHES…
The detail in the paintwork around you increases and things are beginning to look a lot more realistic. SOUNDS LIKE AN EXIT INTO THE REAL WORLD! RETURN TO WHERE THE PATH DISAPPEARED
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. IF THE PAINT MELTS YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE! RETURN TO WHERE THE PATH DISAPPEARED
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. LET GO AND FACE THE GRUNT OF WINDS! HOLD ON TO THE TREE FOR YOUR LIFE!
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. RUN SUPER FAST TOWARDS THE WALL PICK IT UP
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. RUN SUPER FAST TOWARDS THE WALL PICK IT UP
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." WATERCOLOUR MONOCHROMATIC METALLIC GRAYSCALE
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!
