Find the key, unlock the gate, beat the clock
Scary Maze drops you into a dim, first-person labyrinth of narrow brick corridors. Somewhere in the passages lies a key, somewhere else stands the gate it opens, and you have to find both and walk out before the timer expires. Every turn looks much like the last, so the real test is keeping a map in your head while the clock runs.
How to play Scary Maze
- Walk the corridors and search for the key.
- Grab the key and keep track of the junctions you have passed.
- Find the gate and reach it with the key to unlock it.
- Get through the gate and out of the maze before the timer runs out.
Controls
| W / A / S / D | Walk forward, left, back and right |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Turn and look around |
Tips to play better
- Pick one wall, left or right, and follow it consistently; it stops you from walking in circles.
- Give junctions names in your head, such as the long hall or the dead end, so the route back is easier to recall.
- Turn with small, smooth mouse movements; big swings make it easy to forget which way you were facing.
- If you find the gate before the key, note how you got there, because you will need to return.

Scary Maze FAQ
Can I play Scary Maze on a phone or tablet?
No, it is built for desktop. You need a keyboard to walk and a mouse to look around.
What happens if the timer runs out?
You fail to escape and have to try the maze again, so it pays to learn the layout and move with purpose.
