About the game
What you do in a play session
Attention, shoplifters! The Magic Maze is now more secure than ever, and Management is not messing around. The Maximum Security expansion is here to spice things up, introducing new challenges and helpers that will test your nerves and real-time coordination. Forget peace and quiet, because now we have guards patrolling the corridors and security systems that will make your hair stand on end.
This expansion brings modules you can mix and match to create the perfect experience of controlled chaos. Want more difficulty? Face the grumpy guards, sensors that catch you red-handed, or the control room that can trap you. Prefer a helping hand? Use ventilation shafts to move faster, open secret passages in walls, cast super useful spells, or even manipulate the mall layout with telekinesis. And if the tension gets too high, there are even anti-stress tokens to allow for a quick (or not-so-quick) discussion.
Each module comes with its own tutorial, so you can gradually add the new features without unpleasant surprises. Get ready to shout "RUN!" and "NO, YOU CAN'T GO THERE!" more often than ever before. It's the perfect recipe for those who already enjoy the frenzy of the original Magic Maze and want to take the adrenaline to a new level, with more options and strategies to devise at high speed.
