Games has become one thing in everyday life. Formerly, the game is only used as a means of entertainment alone, but now the game has become the extent of its function. For example, game can be a mean of learning, business land, and competed as one of the sport by professionals.

Images of a puzzle will be scrambled using the Linear Congruential Generator (LCG) method. Linear Congruential Generator using an initial state then with a special formula will generate a pseudo-random number. The initial state used is taken from a variety of sources that are considered quite random. Thus, the Linear Congruential Generator will produce a series of numbers that resemble random numbers.
