At first glance, the Monster Maze looks friendly… almost too easy.
a Vertical maze, controlled with a simple joystick. Move the maze left or right to guide a stainless-steel ball through the twists and turns toward the finish.
Sounds simple, right?
Flip the red switch to activate Challenge Mode.
Without warning, a red light suddenly illuminates. Your joystick instantly stops responding, and the maze takes on a life of its own.
Behind the scenes, a microcontroller take control, rotating the maze in random directions for random lengths of time. Just when you think you have the perfect line, the maze shifts beneath you, sending the ball exactly where you didn’t want it to go.
Then, just as suddenly as it started, the red light turns off.
Control returns to you.
The joystick works again.
You continue navigating toward the goal.
But don’t get comfortable…
Because Challenge Mode can strike again at any moment—usually when you least expect it.
And just like that, the ball is rolling away again, repeating history and testing your patience all over.
