Interact with a painting, and its sides will fold out, revealing it to be a triptych (three-part) painting. Each painting is a pixel recreation of a real-life triptych painting, and your objective is to both recreate the real-life works of art, and arrange them in a specific order. Below, we’ve listed which paintings you’ll have to recreate, and how you’ll have to order them.
