Overview
Maze Craze is an interactive board-game that's a maze. It has "walls" comprised of lines of LEDs arranged in a grid. The player moves his or her magnetic piece through the maze. A computer will track a players movement (using magentic sensors), ensuring they don't cheat and will change the position of the walls in response to the player's movements (by lighting different walls). The game is designed to be fun for the whole family, with a vareity of difficulties and also a 2-player option! The maze will count the number of moves it took for you to complete a certain puzzle and you can try to beat your family's high score!!
