Description

In Magic Maze, you and your fellow players must work together to guide four different adventurers to specific shops in a shopping mall. However, there's a twist: you can't talk! Each player can only move the adventurers in a specific direction, meaning you'll need to rely on subtle cues and shared understanding to succeed. As you navigate the ever-expanding mall (created through tile placement), the adventurers will need to visit their assigned stores before escaping through designated exit points.

The game plays out in real-time, adding to the frantic fun. There's a timer ticking down, and if you run out of time, it's game over! Players can use a large 'Do Something!' pawn to pressure others into acting, but ultimately, success hinges on non-verbal communication and coordinated movements. This creates a unique and hilarious experience where teamwork is essential, even when words are forbidden.
