Features

MAZES FROM THE START

From the first round onward, the experience throws you into challenging maze-like sequences packed with puzzling layouts and satisfying exploration. These labyrinths are clearly lit, and each one includes a starting point and an exit so you can search, learn, and escape.

The rounds scale up in complexity over time. Early challenges are designed to help you get comfortable, while later ones introduce new constraints and tougher problem-solving. As you progress, you’ll get better at locating the masks and finding your way out.

In the first round, you’ll receive a task to complete along with helpful hints to let you finish faster. At the end of each round, you’ll be given another challenge; however, in round one you only need to identify the simplest correct solution. Still, you must watch the clock: every challenge has a time limit. If you fail to finish or exit before the timer ends, you’ll be eliminated even if you’re close to solving it.

CHALLENGE DIFFERENT MAZE TYPES

Once you’ve practiced the easier rounds, the game moves into more demanding mazes so you can see how the format shifts as difficulty increases. When you open the game’s boxes, puzzles appear, and in the newer mazes your goal becomes clear: find gift boxes hidden across the environment to unlock valuable rewards.

To keep moving forward, you’ll need to open these gift boxes. Doing so grants additional time and helps you push through the challenge.

If you’re stuck and can’t figure out how to get out, the game includes a recovery option that lets you return to the maze’s beginning, saving you time and frustration.

Overall, your mission is to move around the map, collect the puzzle pieces, and determine the location of the next checkpoint as accurately as possible. As the game continues, you’ll solve more puzzles and gain experience interpreting the riddles you uncover.

FIND THE GOLDEN MASKS

Your main objective is to locate the masks hidden throughout the maze. To do that, you’ll need to open the gift boxes to uncover them. Some stages require you to find five matching masks within the time window—so you’ll want to manage your time carefully rather than wandering aimlessly.

When you complete a maze, it disappears and the game moves you into the next one with fresh challenges.

At times, you may become disoriented inside a maze and struggle to locate an exit before the timer runs out. When that happens, use the Tomb of the Mask help feature—you’ll find the instructions you need inside.

The game also encourages momentum: by opening gift boxes, you unlock new features, and by collecting masks tied to those features, you build toward deeper progression. Over time, the experience continues to develop—refining itself to make your journey as engaging as possible.
