About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a test of memory and dexterity with The Magic Labyrinth! The mission is straightforward: young magician apprentices need to retrieve lost objects from their master's maze before he notices. There's just one catch: the maze has invisible walls! Each player controls a magician apprentice, equipped with a small magnet at the base, which drags a steel ball beneath the board. The game box itself becomes an essential part of the structure, hiding the walls you can't see. If you bump into one of these hidden barriers, the ball drops, and... there goes your progress! You'll have to retrace your steps. To succeed, a good memory is crucial for remembering obstacles and planning your route. It's a game that challenges your concentration and navigation skills, all within a fantasy setting with a touch of magic. Perfect for those who enjoy family games with a challenging twist and a really cool physical component.
