Play The Sun Crossword Challenge DS with Page Three's Sam Cooke and Vikki Blows

Don't worry, you're not playing against them – Atari isn't that cruel

Play The Sun Crossword Challenge DS with Page Three's Sam Cooke and Vikki Blows

London commuters at Victoria Station are in for a treat on April 18th. That's according to Atari, which is celebrating the release of The Sun Crossword Challenge on the same day with a giant interactive crossword.

Hoping to complete the puzzle will be Page Three 'stunners' Sam Cooke (pictured second) and Vikki Blows. But they'll need help from the public, and that's where the commuters come in.

Beware though: by getting involved you get your picture taken with the ladies. Great to show off to your mates and brighten up a Friday morning's work, perhaps. Not so great when your ladyfriend sees the shot and you have to explain why you happened to take a detour via Victoria on that particular day.

Assuming we can tear your eyes away from the above images (and no, we can't provide them any bigger – the pictures, we mean), we ought to tell you a little bit about the game. Okay, it's a crossword puzzle affair, with some 1,000 challenges on offer, but the twist is that it follows The Sun's crossword approach in the way it includes two sets of clues – 'coffee time' quick clues and longer, cryptic brain teasers.

Either way, you input your answers via the stylus (the game has a character recognition function).

Atari and the girls will be at Victoria from 8am. If you spot them, do give them a hand or they'll risk spending the whole weekend at the station trying to solve the clues. Then again, 'exploitation' is a relatively long word. (Apologies in advance for the mindless stereotyping – they're probably exceptionally bright.)
