Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an interactive puzzle. In particular, the methods and systems of the present disclosure may: generate data representing a graphical user interface (GUI); and receive user input via one or more user-manipulable control elements of the GUI such that one or more of a plurality of different, distinct, visibly distinguishable, continuous, and extensible line elements expand and/or contract along their one or more predetermined associated paths in an image area of the GUI to form a line drawing comprising at least a humanly discernible portion of at least one image, of a plurality of different and distinct images that may be rendered in the image area, that constitutes at least a portion of a solution to a user-solvable puzzle associated with the plurality of different and distinct images.
