"There is a ship at the entrance of the maze and all that you see beside the maze is actually in the ship. The maze is actually much bigger than it is in the picture. The maze is easy to navigate from a bird's eye view but the people in the ship don't know which way to go and there are a lot of dead ends."


by Jack, age 6, Ewing, New Jersey, USA.

"The guy in front is videotaping the other guys racing through the maze. The first racer won, and he is holding his golden prize. The other guys got stuck."


by Samuel, age 7, California, USA.

"The guy who is running close to the start did a U-turn into a dead end. Where the Whampa is, that is also a dead end. Where General Greivous is blasted, that is also a dead end. The guys with a Darth Vader helmet is going to the finish. As you can see, the finish is a guy in jail, so pretty much wherever you go, you're pretty much going to be terminated."

"This Lego maze is also a board game. It is styled after the Lego Games set Minotaurus in that it is a maze with a monster in it. There is a spinner that is spun to determine what a player can do on their turn. The goal is to collect all the Atlantis treasure key parts and get your Minifig out of the maze. One part of the spinner lets you move the monster, who destroys obstacles in the maze, picks up treasure keys, and can send the other players Minifig back to the start."

by Sebastian age 6, Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

"This is a BIG maze and pretty easy - but be careful! There are lots of dangers along the way! Bob, in the black, made it! He found the exit. Diane, on the left, is sorta lost. She just can't find the way! Gregory, with the white hair, is scared. He just entered the point of no return. Spooky!"

by Luke, age 9, North Carolina, USA.

by Rachel, age 10, North Carolina, USA.

by Owen, age 8, Union, New Jersey, USA.

“This is a labyrinth in space. You can’t see it by looking in the picture but the maze is under the second platform too, not only the first one. The little oval things scattered around are supposed to be moon rocks. They are actually rolled up lego treads. There’s a guy with a jetpack climbing upstairs. You’re not supposed to be able to see the stairs because he’s supposed to be jetpacking up to fix something. We put bricks under it to make it look like it’s floating but it didn’t really work. I got the idea from a computer game that I play, it’s Club Penguin. The main idea is that at first I was trying to copy the box world but then I just went to space.“


by Wes, age 6, Greenville South Carolina, USA.

"This maze is a puppy maze. Made of three puppy houses there are confusing pathways and a zip line all to help play tricks on the greedy poodle pup. All the clear yellow blocks are stink bombs."

by Christopher 6, Texas, USA.


by Malcolm, age 9, Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

"The figures in my maze are divided into two groups. Four are protectors of the maze. Seven are trying to get from the start to the finish. The protectors protect the crystal at the end. One of the Hagrids is protecting the exit. The green Alien is protecting the entrance. The Rock Monster and other Hagrid are protecting the middle of the maze."


by Ben, age 6, Lexington, Virginia, USA.

"This labyrinth is in medieval times. People need to get torches before going through because it is a night-time labyrinth. In front is the torch shop."


by Emma, age 7, Texas, USA.


by Isaac, age 12, Texas, USA.


by Orion age 7, California, US.

"It's a really fun maze, that's tricky to get out of."


by Simon, age 8, Saskatchewan, Canada.

"This is a LEGO Labyrinth. The 'ball' I used is actually a LEGO head! I made the walls taller so the LEGO 'ball' doesn't fall out."


by Zephyr, age 8, Wichita, Kansas, USA.

"This a labryth that has a mind control piece, a ninja sword, laser guns and swords. The evil God, Zorga decided to put these people inside the labyrinth as punishment. There is one way to escape: the brown wall at the very back is actually a door."
