What are scramblers?
A scrambler is a program that chops up an image and scrambles up the pieces (requires the java plugin). The object of the game is to swap 2 pieces at a time until all pieces end up in position to form the completed picture. These scramblers all come with a 4 minute timer. Can you beat the clock? These games require a keen eye for detail.
When done completing each puzzle, take some time to explore the background and history of each Memorial. How many facts can you find? |
