I. INTRODUCTION
MAZE QUEST is more than just a game; it is a journey through the logical structures of the mind. As a young explorer, you are tasked with navigating the infinite labyrinths and challenging questionnaires.
Your mission is simple but profound: collect the Hearts of Wisdom and Love scattered throughout the maze. You can exit only after collecting 5 hearts and complete the questionnaire.
This is not everything. Sometimes directly on your path you will find the question mark. Every one you pick up means an extra question at the exit. Answer them all to prove your skill! After every forth answered correctly in first try-answer you are getting +2 to the ability for creating passages.

III. KNOWLEDGE CHALLENGE
Upon exiting the maze, the true test begins. The Knowledge Challenge will present you with questions based on the scrolls you collected during your journey.
Answer correctly as many as you can in the fist try to earn bonus points to create passages (short cuts). Each correct answer prints question explanation to help you learn additional details.
