Maze Runner / Gameplay

Run the maze.

Stock drops. Side quests. Real competition.

When the stock drops, the race begins. A stone maze, other runners, and one coin with a purchase value. First to hold it, takes it.

02 / The run

Chase the drop.

No campaign to finish. A drop lands, the map marks it, and everyone in the maze can try.

  1. 01

    Enter the maze

    The Gardens is a stone labyrinth, ivy on the walls, a name floating over your head. Third person. WASD. The arrow on the ground is your route.

  2. 02

    A stock drop appears

    A giant coin plants itself in a corridor. Ticker and value sit above it — AMZNx, about $10. On the minimap it is the live point.

  3. 03

    Race the other runners

    Sprint, vault, cut the corner. Everyone sees the same drop. It is not hidden loot. It is a race.

  4. 04

    Hold E

    Claiming takes five still seconds. Fire, reload, or take a hit and the hold breaks. Someone can steal it at the corner.

  5. 05

    It lands in your collection

    A card confirms rarity, ticker, and purchase value in dollars. Transfer stays pending. The token value can still move.

03 / Stock drop

Not loot. A piece of stock.

Every drop in the trailers has an x-ticker, a rarity, and a dollar purchase value. Rarer means louder. Louder means a crowd.

  • CommonMSFTx≈ $5
  • CommonNVDAx≈ $5
  • RareAMZNx≈ $10
  • RareGOOGLx≈ $10
  • EpicTSLAx≈ $20
  • EpicAAPLx≈ $20

Values shown in the public clips, not a price list. One drop stays live until somebody claims it. Then the maze plants another.

Rare GOOGLx · ≈ $10

Hold E · 5.0s

Firing, reloading, or getting hit interrupts the claim.

04 / The maze

Running is half the job.

A sidearm with six shots. A minimap of the corridors. A ground arrow for the mission. Names in the corner when someone joins, or when someone just took the Tesla drop.

The map doesn’t lie

The live drop is a point on the minimap. Zones have names — The Northern Paths, The Fern Garden — and an explored percent. Daytime the garden is open. After dark, it changes.

Other runners have names

Every player wears a tag, often a handle. You see them in the corridors and in live activity: who joined, who took $5 of Apple, who took $20 of Tesla.

The claim is fragile

Those five seconds are when you stand still. A shot, a reload, or a hit wipes them. Some people run. Some people wait at the corner.

05 / Beyond the race

The maze has more to do.

The stock drop is why you enter. The rest keeps the session open: XP, missions, gear, a green table, and a team mode.

06 / Night combat

Hunt after dark.

After dark in the Fern Garden, guardians show up — Moss Walkers. Dropping one in the trailer is worth +8 XP and +2 salvage. Hold the Garden asks you to help take down six.

03 / Expedition

Complete tasks. Earn XP.

Beat your best run on 12 checkpoints. Mark the nearest drop. Hit 5 moving targets in 30 seconds. Missions refresh every four minutes. XP and salvage stay.

04 / The shop

Gear up. Power up.

Boosts are $1, one use, 45 seconds. Original characters stay free. Shield and veil drop if you shoot or start a claim. Timers keep running while you are away.

One use · 45 sec

Rush

Move 20% faster for 45 seconds.

02 / Blackjack

Put your drops in play.

The Courtyard Club has a blackjack table. In the trailer, chips are tied to SOL: 1 chip = 0.00001 SOL. You play what you brought. Shop perks do not enter the arena.

05 / Capture the flag

Bring your team.

1v1, 2v2, or 3v3. First to 3. Six minutes. Same carbine, same chance — no shop perks. Three grounds: Block Nine, Glasshouse, Breakwater.

The official account says $MAZE is on the way. There is no public client yet, and that profile does not point at a contract. This page explains the trailers. It does not hand out stock, chips, or tokens.
