ABSTRACT:
A reconfigurable maze comprising a plurality of columns positioned on a plurality of corresponding hydraulic lifts. Each hydraulic lift is connected to a respective column for moving the column between a raised position and a lowered position. Columns in the lowered position form a floor of the maze while columns in the raised position form walls of the maze and define paths through the maze. The maze may be reconfigured by selectively raising and lowering the columns. The columns may be manually or automatically performed by a central processor. The maze can be used to play hide and seek and predator and prey games.
