To solve the entire thing, you'll have to find words from categories as diverse as boys' names, hair styles and accountancy.
You'll visit London, Las Vegas and outer space.
You'll encounter spiders, vampires and fictional horses.
You'll be transported from ancient Egypt, through the world of dreams and to the end of days.
