How to play Maze Runner
You are the green ball. Get to the gold exit in the bottom-right corner, as fast as you can.
- Swipe on the maze, or tap next to your ball. You can also use the arrow keys, W A S D, or the arrow buttons under the maze.
- Your ball keeps running down the corridor and turns round bends by itself. It stops at the next fork, so you choose the way.
- Pick up the blue gems on the way. Each one is worth 50 points. Grab another gem within 5 seconds and the points go up: 100, 150, and so on, up to 250 a gem.
Stars, hints and lights out
Every maze has a par time, shown next to your clock. Finish at or under par for 3 stars. Finish in twice par or less for 2 stars. Slower than that is 1 star.
Press Hint (or H) and the path to the exit shows for 2 seconds. A hint costs you: that maze can then give 2 stars at most.
A full run is 11 mazes. The first is 10 by 10, and each one after is 2 bigger, up to 30 by 30. On mazes 4, 7 and 10 the lights go out. You only see a little around your ball, so follow the gold glow to the exit.
Daily maze is one 20 by 20 maze that is the same for everyone today. A new one appears at midnight. Your best time for today is saved in this browser, along with your best run and your best time on each maze.
