Multi-Form Project -- Easter Egg

I recently finally finished my multi-form "Boredom Buster Game" program with visual basic. See my posting made on March 21st to see more details on this project.

One of the major features that we learned for this project was how to add an "Easter Egg." This is a term used for special surprises that programmers code into their work. When clicking on the "challenge" button on the menu screen, a form pops up challenging them to try and find Sir Scrambled, who has gone missing. They are also asked to keep pressing Shift with another letter on the keyboard to find where he's hiding. If they successfully press Shift + E on the keyboard, another form will pop up notifying them that they found Sir Scrambled! Below are the screen captures for the Challenge Form, as well as the form that pops up when the user successfully types the right code (Shift + E) to unlock the Easter Egg Surprise!
