01 — Story

The brief

Maze Runner starts you in the top-left of a random maze and asks for the glowing green square in the far corner. Every escape adds eight seconds and deals a bigger maze. The score is how many mazes you clear before the clock dies.

Move one square at a time with arrows, WASD, the buttons, or a slide of your finger. The clock starts on the first step. Visited squares shade lightly. Gold coins are worth a two-second detour when you can afford the walk.

You begin with sixty seconds. Every maze has exactly one route between any two squares, so a dead end is information, not a bug. Keeping one hand on a wall is slow and never fails in these mazes.

How to escape

Step toward the green square. If you are lost, follow one wall until it delivers you.
