A description is made herein with regard to a game composed of one to up to eight peripheral triangular-shaped playing surfaces referred to as the “small labyrinths”. The peripheral playing surfaces are attached to a central module here referred to as a central hub or the “large labyrinth”. This game that can be played by one person or by teams of players requires the use of an appropriately sized spherical entities that traverse channels engraved into or associated with the small labyrinths and the large labyrinth. The objective of the game is for each player to rapidly direct 4 different spherical projectiles towards a depression in the large labyrinth. The first player to attain this objective is the winner. To initiate play, the spherical entity is placed into the start point of the small labyrinth by each player. The sphere is then directed along a channel towards a maze that terminates in a depression located in the large labyrinth.
A play unit comprised of multiple play areas that are flat surfaces that can have variable shapes, each containing a maze engraved or attached to the flat surface by appropriate means. Each play area can be moved by a player's hand. The play area is manipulated by holding the playing surface and moving the flat surface in variable directions as desired by the player. All the play areas being attached to a unit called a central hub by a joint that can allow movement of the play surface in variable directions. A spherical playing piece is directed through the maze on the playing surface towards a depression located in the central hub.
