About this game

Magic Maze Kids hands each player just one job, only moving mice up, or only moving them sideways, and then forbids everyone from talking about it. You have to silently read the board and each other, nudging your mouse into position at exactly the moment a teammate needs to move it, all while a sand timer ticks down. It is real-time cooperative chaos scaled perfectly for little hands, and watching a family finally sync up without a single spoken word is genuinely the best part.
