And so it goes – on and on, one team member after the other, going on their journey into the maze, exploring it deeper and deeper, until they find the exit. At that point, they can either come back (if the timer on the flashlight allows them to), and share the right way with their group – or leave, leaving them hanging a bit :).

The game ends when all the groups came out, or when the time runs out (the game itself lasts around 2,5 hours, plus about 30 minutes of introduction and rules in the beginning). In our case, the last members of the groups got through just as the time ran out.

Sooo… where are the puzzles, and where is the challenge?

There is no real (traditional) puzzles inside the maze – not the kind you are used to from escape rooms at least. You can find the exit without figuring out a single thing – but it’s quite a bit harder. There are some hints around the maze and in your starting areas that can make your exploration substantially easier – maybe finding a shortcut, or actually figuring out what is going on – the labyrinth is a tricky place, and it can play tricks with your mind, almost, as it was alive.

To be completely honest – we didn’t figure out any of them :). We had some ideas what it could be, or where we could find some things to help us, but never took the time to test it out or look for them – everyone was too busy delving deeper into the maze.
