The Circus Maximus in Rome, race day. A quarter of a million people pack the stands; rich spectators arrive in litters, pigeons wheel overhead, and the starting gates stand open. Four-horse chariots thunder round the track, and women wave wreaths for their favourite drivers.
Scorpus, the greatest charioteer in Rome, is racing for the Greens. Seven puzzles stand between you and the finishing line. Solve them all, and one last word is what they shout as he crosses it.
Crossword — the races, the crowd and Rome, in Latin from Book 3.
Anagrams — unscramble seven things done at the races.
Cipher — decode a message in Latin, then answer the riddle it asks.
Matching — the relative pronoun quī, quae, quod ("who, which") in its different cases.
Picture Count — reassemble the Circus Maximus, then count what you see.
Odd One Out — find the word that doesn't belong in each row to build the story, then answer questions about it.
Final Rebus — one clue from every lock. Their first letters spell the final word.
Every answer box checks itself. Spelling and capitals are forgiving, and macrons are never needed.
Fourteen words from race day. Every clue gives the English meaning; you supply the Latin. Fill the grid — every crossing letter must agree both ways. Seven cells are marked in red: once the grid is solved, their letters unscramble into one more word.
The grid is correct. Unscramble the seven red letters:
Seven things done at the races. Unscramble each one.
That's the end of the free taster. The other 5 locks of this room are for Locked Lessons members.

Victor — the winner. Scorpus crossed the line first, raised the palm of victory, and a quarter of a million people roared his name.
