- Dear player... The Crossword Imaginary Grid Game found you for a reason.
- The aim of this game is to create a crossword grid with your hands and explore a part of the Glossary of Productive Play (and hopefully having some fun on the way!)
Take some time (will this game make your time leisure or productive?), place the pieces on a surface, on a wall, on your bed, on your cat's body.. and start playing!
- Inside, I prepared for you the DEFINITIONS of the words and GRID-SQUARES to recreate the grid.
To recreate the grid, follow the following scheme for every content category:

[Crossword imaginary grid structure]
- I know it might sound complicated now, but I promise you that you will understand how to make it work while playing. There are three things you have to keep attention to while creating the grid...
1. One code (e.g. B7), composed by a letter and a number that define the position in the imaginary grid. Position these as the first step!
2. In addition to the code that indicates the starting point of the word, the definitions papers will also contain the clues to solve the crossword.
3. A content category that gathers all the definitions that are part of the same crossword (e.g. Ideology). But maybe you can play around with this..
- If you don't know the word, don't stress yourself out: these crosswords are meant to teach while having fun.. yes, you heard that well, you are experiencing Productive Play!
Enjoy this time you are taking for yourself.. it's okay not to finish it, it's okay to give up, it's okay to still be happy with it. And if you are really unsatisfied, just call some friends and have some fun together!
- If you want some more.. check our website for more content!
And remember, these are just instructions not to get lost. But it's okay to get lost.
Remember to get lost sometimes.
