Magic Maze Sand Timer is the official timer app for the board game Magic Maze Pocket, and it can also be used with Magic Maze and Magic Maze on Mars. Designed to be simple and reliable, it lets you start the countdown at the beginning of your game, pause it if an interruption occurs, flip it when your team earns extra time, and mark the game as won when you complete your mission. When time runs out, a clear audio alert ensures everyone knows the round has ended. Completely free with no in-app purchases or ads, this app is available for everyone to download and enjoy without restrictions.
