So last night I started playing popular hipster puzzle game The Witness on my PS4. Do you remember The Witness? Everyone was banging on about it last week. Anyway it’s a game built around mazes, some on panels, others cleverly built into the environment.
So here is an episode of early 90s US kids show Masters of The Maze, with – who else? The X Factor‘s Mario Lopez.
Of possibly more interest to quiz nerds, albeit in Serbian, we were chatting about a quiz called Lavirint in a comments box not so long ago. I can’t work out if it’s a version of All3Media’s 1001 Rooms – Beat the Matrix or not, but looks like a similar idea.
I have to say, I really liked The Witness. Played it through to an ending, at least, but I’m some way from having found everything. Tons of great ideas, well-taught; I found it right up my street.
I’m enjoying it, I’m about 4 hours and 90-ish puzzles in right now.
With the title of this post, I thought you were making a reference to Australian kids’ show A*mazing, which is sort of a BBC (*) version of Funhouse.

(*) This analogy only really works if you consider the BBC period strictly between late Crackerjack and Dick and Dom.
