For each of the ten topics, three questions needed to be answered. Should the player answer incorrectly, they had to begin that topic again.

The ten topics were:
- RMS Titanic
- Stonehenge
- Pompeii
- Charles Dickens
- Queen Victoria
- Shakespeare

Once all numbers were unlocked, the safe opened to reveal the painting. As a prize, the player was rewarded with a short story in PDF format, entitled, The War of Art.
