Games that take place in a maze

Maze video games are a genre of action games that involve navigating a complex network of paths or corridors with the goal of reaching a specific destination or completing an objective. The gameplay revolves around solving puzzles or overcoming challenges presented by the maze-like environment.

In maze games, players typically control a character or an object and must navigate through a labyrinthine structure filled with obstacles, dead-ends, and sometimes enemies or hazards.

Maze games have been popular since the early days of gaming, with classic examples like Pac-Man, ZZT, Gauntlet.
