The Incredible Color Changing Maze

From the people who get hundreds of thousands of people lost each year in cornfields comes an all new book for teambuilding, ropes courses, and challenge education programs.

This new book provides a quality puzzle option for any ropes course or teambuilding program. This puzzle is designed to be portable, flexible, and most importantly a puzzle that truly focuses on encouraging teamwork and learning. With over twenty puzzles utilizing only one or two sets of materials, this puzzle provides flexibility with a variety of groups. Puzzles are rated from very easy to very difficult, and the puzzle lends itself to a variety of variations and additional options.

This is a new type of puzzle that participants have most likely never seen. The concept is easy for participants to learn, but solving the puzzle will require the entire team. This book includes coordinator instructions, facilitator pages and participant pages for each puzzle, 21 full color map handout pages, installation instructions, and ideas to maximize your use of the puzzle. The entire book comes in a three ringer binder to allow you to pull out pages and easily make copies of any page for facilitators and participants thus protecting your original investment.

How the Puzzle Works: In this puzzle, you must travel from the entrance to the exit by following colored lines. Whenever you come to a dot, you must change to a different color line. While this looks easy, it is actually very hard to find the path from the entrance to the exit. To add more challenge and make it more fun, this puzzle gets laid on a large tarp or on the ground to stretch 20 feet by 20 feet or even larger. When participants walk up to the puzzle, they will immediately be interested in how this unique puzzle works.

While solving the maze can be hard in itself, this book includes a variety of puzzles. For example:

•  "Off Color Maze"-In this puzzle, participants are given a map to make the maze easier. But suddenly they realize that the colors on the map are completely different than the colors in the maze. They need to find the pattern to the colors to solve the maze.

• "Roger That"-In this puzzle, participants are divided into two groups. One group gets the map, but they cannot see the maze. The other group has to actually walk the maze following the guiding of the map readers who cannot see where they are going. This is a great puzzle for emergency personal training such as firefighters to practice radio communication.

• "Map Issues"-Participants will be glad they have a map to solve the maze until they realize that all the lines and dots have been scrambled around the map. Now they need to try to read a scrambled map to find their way out.

• "Spelling Bee"-As participants navigate the maze, they will collect letters that will help spell a secret phrase.

This is just a sample of the many puzzles in this book. All puzzles use only one or two layouts of the maze itself. The use of different maps is what makes this puzzle flexible without lots of overhead. We designed this puzzle with participant benefit in mind because we know it is important that participants really gain from any teambuilding program they complete.

*Please note that the maze on the book cover is not the actual maze and is not an exact replication of the actual maze. This cover photo maze has many solutions and would be too easy for participants to complete.
