About the game
Living Labyrinth is a light-hearted race through an ever-changing maze of garden tiles. Players hurry to be the first to reach their goal, all the while moving pathways, changing the maze, and even moving the victory goals. Should you race ahead at full speed? Or spend precious time cutting off your opponents? Only one player will succeed and escape the Living Labyrinth! Rules are simple, and the game can be enjoyed by both kids and families. The action cards give players a handful of simple tactical options, but playing them in the right order on the right tiles requires some challenging decisions. The double-sided tiles ensure that the maze is never the same twice - don't expect the same plan to work in every game, because the ground under your feet is ever-changing!

Questions and answers
Living Labyrinth supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Living Labyrinth is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Living Labyrinth for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Living Labyrinth has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
