Escape the O is a puzzle maze game inspired by the classic Minotaur in the Labyrinth challenge — but with a playful twist. Instead of a monster, you’re trying to outsmart Otte (“the O”), navigating through the maze to reach the exit. For every one move you make towards the exit, O gets to move twice. However, O will only move if it reduces his distance to you and will always move sideways first. Key Features: - Daily maze for you to compete against your friends - Hundreds of mazes available - 4 Maze Sizes: 9x9, 11x11, 13x13, 15x15 Hints are available, but do you need them?
