Abstract

A maze game, comprising a game board having a grid that defines a plurality of spaces. The spaces each have a colored dot, each dot either white, black, or red. The dots are covered by a playing piece during normal game play. The playing pieces each have a square base and a conical handle. Game play commences by having one player lift one of the playing pieces to reveal the dot beneath. If a black dot is revealed, the player replaces the playing piece and lifts another. If a white dot is revealed, the player replaces the playing piece and another player lifts one of the playing pieces. If a red dot is revealed, the player has won.
