The mockup looks really nice.  I think it should be doable.  If you have the 
"chalk" font, it would be much easier.  In that case, you can just draw the 
text onto the chalkboard background, very similar to how it's done now.  The 
only tricky part is that you'd want "(reveal word)" to be a clickable area, 
and probably the "try" box as well (unless you want to do a regular 
KPushButton for that).  Actually, I might argue for getting rid of the Try 
button in favor of just pressing Enter in the Edit Box.

The "clickable area" can be done with the background widget's 
mousePressEvent(); just check if the position of the mouse click is within a 
QRect which bounds the clickable area(s).  

Will the file cabinet drawers also be clickable?  If so, you can do a similar 
thing for those, although it would be slightly more complicated, because 
you'd want to overlay a "drawer open" pixmap...

I'd be willing to help out with the coding of this.  Is there a "background" 
template of the mockup, with just a blank chalkboard and all drawers closed?
