🔥FINAL NEW MAZE REVEAL FOR 2024!🔥

Bursting into The Last Gas Station on the Left in a frantic search for salvation, you find yourself in the final flicker of civilization - a world where the dead don’t stay dead.

The survivor behind the counter is barely holding on, and the growls of the undead are closing in. Supplies are dwindling, and there’s no safe place left for you here. Your only hope lies across a zombie-infested swamp. Armed with nothing but a medikit and desperate directions, you must deliver medical supplies to the soldier holed up in a safe house bunker, beyond the swamp. But the path is overrun with grotesque, mutated zombies—bigger, faster, and more vicious than anything you’ve ever faced.

Will you make it out alive? Will you find safety, or is this gas station the last stop you'll ever make?

As you fight through the relentless swamp, facing horrifying mutations and uncovering dark secrets in the bunker, your survival is anything but guaranteed. The rotters are closing in, and hope is slipping away. Will you have the courage to help others to secure your own escape? Can you reach the plane before it’s too late? Or will the gas station become the final memory of safety you ever know?

Time’s running out. Will you escape the nightmare or become just another victim? The clock is ticking—will you make it out alive?

This isn’t just a maze—it’s a fight for your life.

🔥NEW MAZE REVEAL FOR 2024!🔥

'Slappy the clown has never celebrated a birthday, and the decades of neglect have driven him to madness. This year, he's seized control of a decaying clown house at the edge of town, transforming it into a nightmarish carnival of twister birthday horrors. The once-vibrant space is now a chilling tableau of faded decorations, peeling balloons, and a cake that seems too big for its own good.

Slappy’s spinning rage has twisted his desire for celebration into something far more disturbing. His friends, long dormant in their dark corners, will be awakened for this nightmarish festivity. But beware—Slappy’s mood is unpredictable like his humour. He’s not used to getting what he wants, and this year, he's DEMANDING a present. Squeaky rubber chickens are his favourite, and if you want to survive the night, you’d better bring one. Enter if you dare, but remember: in Slappy’s house, the party never ends, and the true cost is more than you bargained for.'

🔥NEW MAZE REVEAL FOR 2024!🔥

'Welcome to the year 1936, where the word “humane” is the latest craze. The Slaughter of Animals Act has just come into play, but not everyone’s thrilled. The old Meat Market up at the end of town—known for its unique practices—is under the watchful eye of the law.

Last year, Inspector Frank Snitzel was sent in for the first annual inspection. Let’s just say Frank didn’t make it back to work. Rumour has it, he might not have made it out alive. And now, it’s your turn.

Congratulations, Chief Inspector! You’ve been promoted just in time for this year’s inspection. Your task? To investigate the conditions, check the quality of the meat, and, of course, gather those all-important blood, stool, and urine samples. Sounds easy enough, right?

But be warned—there’s more than just the stench of slaughter in the air. The workers are a bit too eager, too jumpy, too nervous, the machinery’s a bit too rusty, and the chainsaws… well, they move a bit too quickly. The animals might be gone, but the echoes of their suffering remain. Or maybe it’s something else entirely?

The marketing for The Meat Market is disturbingly friendly, with cheerful slogans and bright posters—a stark contrast to the dark rumours swirling around poor Frank, some say he had been silenced to cover up the horrific conditions he uncovered..

Navigate the winding halls of The Meat Market, where every corner holds a surprise and every sound raises the hairs on your neck. The walls seem to breathe, the floors slick with something that’s not quite water, and the whispers—are they calling your name?

So grab your clipboard, Inspector. Your report is due by dawn. The county health district depends on you!

Good luck. You’ll need it.'

🔥2024 New Maze Announcement!🔥

Possession, 1692

The year is 1692, and The Village is gripped by fear. You stand at the edge of the settlement, where dark forces and betrayal whisper through the narrow streets.

Once peaceful, The Village has been torn apart by tensions with nearby HalloweenTown. Demonic entities and sickness strain the community. Fear took root when Reverend Parris, with his fiery sermons about the devil, became the village minister.

Then it began. In the cold of autumn, young girls fell ill, tormented by invisible forces. The villagers, already on edge, quickly blamed the devil. Whispers of possession and witchcraft filled the air.

In October, five girls accused women in the village of witchcraft. The next day, the accusers were seen impossibly floating above the village—a chilling warning. Interrogations began, spreading fear like wildfire. Houses were marked, women accused, and trials plunged The Village into terror and paranoia.

As you enter the maze, you must decide: who can you trust?
The powerful Putnam family is determined to root out witches, led by young Ann Putnam, who names neighbours, friends, and even family as servants of the devil. Her words drive the village into madness. Beware her gaze!

Judge Sewell presides over the trials, believing he serves God, though doubts haunt him. He is swept up in the hysteria, and the blood of the innocent stains his hands.

Your journey through the village will test your resolve and faith.

Will you side with the church, trusting in its righteous path? The priests and nuns, stern and unyielding, condemn anyone who strays. In their eyes, everyone is suspect. Even you.

Or will you find sympathy for the accused? Are they truly in league with the devil, or merely scapegoats of a fearful society?

As you move deeper into The Village, truth and lies blur. Shadows shift, and the cries of the accused grow louder, mingling with the church’s chants. The village becomes a vortex of doubt and dread.

Lamplights will guide your way through the damned village, but be warned—light attracts demons and witches alike. The village does not just test your courage—it tests your soul.

The final question lingers as you approach the heart of the village: Could one of your own be a witch? As the maze twists and turns, leading you through scenes of torment and trial, you must decide where you stand… or suffer the fate of being buried alive, entombed in a marked box for eternity.

But remember, in this village, truth is elusive. Trust no one, for even the most pious can harbour darkness. You find yourself before the judges, accused of witchcraft, with lamplight flickering in your eyes and no one to defend you.

Welcome to Possession, 1692. Your trial has just begun.
