Rules and Gameplay:
The labyrinth consists of a series of interconnected rooms, each containing a challenge or puzzle that requires critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity to overcome. The challenges can vary in nature, such as logic puzzles, riddles, memory tasks, and physical obstacles.
The contestants start at different points in the labyrinth and must navigate through the rooms in a specific order. Each successfully completed challenge provides a clue to determine the correct path to the next room.
The contestants can encounter locked doors or obstacles that require keys or specific items to unlock or bypass. These keys or items can be obtained by solving puzzles or completing certain tasks in other rooms.
