Magic Maze

Description from the publisher: Once upon a time… After being stripped of all their possessions, a mage, a warrior, an elf, and a dwarf are forced to go rob the local Magic Maze shopping mall for all the equipment necessary for their next adventure. They agree to map out the labyrinth in its entirety first, then find each individual’s favorite store, and then locate the exit. In order to evade the surveillance of the guards who eyed their arrival suspiciously, all four will pull of their heists simultaneously, then dash to the exit. That is the plan, anyway… but can they pull it off? Game Concept Magic Maze is a real-time, cooperative game. Each player can control any hero in order to make that hero perform a very specific action, to which the other players do not have access: Move north, explore a new area, ride an escalator… All this requires rigorous cooperation between the players in order to succeed at moving the heroes prudently. Moreover, you will only be allowed to communicate for short periods during the game. The rest of the time, you must play without giving any visual or audio cues to each other. Goal of the Game All the players win the game if all of the heroes succeed in leaving the shopping mall in the limited time allotted for the game, each having stolen a very specific item. The Time Limit You have 3 minutes at the start of the game. Hourglass spaces you encounter along the way will give you more time. If the sand timer ever completely runs out, all the players lose the game: Your loitering has aroused suspicion, and the mall security guards nab you!
