3D Maze is a challenging test of your spatial relations IQ, and is far more bewildering than you expect. Be forewarned: only about one in three people ever finish this fiendishly difficult challenge! To generate the levels for the game, the creator used a technique called "evolutionary computation" (http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_computing), a sub-category of artificial intelligence based on Darwin's Theory of Evolution. This unique 3D Maze is open throughout the week and is changed every Sunday night, with new courses and fun and engaging themes! Persevere and exercise your short-term memory as you race up, down and all around. Can you beat the best time? Prize for finishing the maze. See video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt2jimM2NHk

Come by and play chess on one of the many boards provided.

Try the dualpose-stands and backdrop controls, and use your viewer's camera to compose andtake a great selfie Snapshot or with a friend!
