Exhausted Rocket

Foam Labyrinth

(walk-in maze that reshuffles in minutes)

Snap long, two-tile-high wall strips, fold them once or twice, and arrange them into winding corridors — instant human-sized maze. At 60 cm tall, the walls are high enough to block a toddler's line of sight but low enough for you to cheer from above.

Game modes

  1. Classic Maze – Start at one entrance, find the exit.
  2. Pac-Man Dash – Hide 6 balls or balloons in dead-ends; set a one-minute timer and shout “GO!” Squat, grab, sprint, repeat.
  3. Shuffle & Replay – Lift any wall section, swivel, drop — new maze, zero extra build time.

Details:

  • Estimated build time: ≈ 10 mins
  • Mats needed: ≈ 30 – 48 pcs (more tiles = bigger maze)
  • Difficulty: Easy

Why it rocks

  • Reconfigurable: endless layouts with the same walls.
  • Cardio + brain work: running, squatting, route-planning.
  • Compact teardown: walls fold flat when playtime's over.

Lay the paths, release the mini explorer, and watch the steps (and giggles) stack up.

  • Puzzle Play Mats(I started with 4 packs which has been enough for all the builds shown here. Of course, more mats = more building possibilities!)
