Early civilizations shaped our world by solving puzzles. Faced with a problem, they were able to visualize and execute a creative solution with few resources. These brilliant innovations are the foundations of our modern society and the mark of true genius.

According to Ancient Greek poet, Hesiod, the infamous story of Pandora's box began when Zeus gave Pandora a box (in ancient Greece this was called a jar) but warned her never to open it. Pandora, who was created to be curious, couldn't stay away from the box and eventually, the urge to open the box overcame her. Horrible things flew out of the box including greed, envy, hatred, pain, disease, hunger, poverty, war, and death. Opening this secret box will require the cunning and true genius that Zeus used to trick poor Pandora.

GOAL: Manipulate the hidden panels and components of the box until it opens, revealing the chamber within.
