• The players first have to imagine and form the puzzle picture from the mind of someone (the picture character) already in the picture. Of course there is a guide that comes with character clues
• The players have to use their imagination to determine what is happening in the image given in the present day
• The puzzlers have to imagine and determine what will happen to the characters in the image in the coming minutes 
• The puzzlers will form a puzzle image of what the characters in the puzzle box are looking at
• The puzzlers form an image using the puzzle of what the characters in the image will look like if they come to life in reality
• The puzzlers use time travelling concepts to create an image of what the puzzle will look like when they travel years back into the past
