Five torches are included, which will reveal the path to the next floor for a short time if used. Higher difficulty questions give more points when solved. There is a character in each room who will talk to you, and there are paintings on the walls that lead to Encarta articles.įour difficulty levels of questions are included, and nine different selectable trivia categories are included, along with an "all of the above" option. Answering a question wrong twice in a row will cause the question to reset, though no points are lost. Once the points reach a certain level, the next floor reached will be the king's throne room, breaking the curse, and winning the game. Points are added to the player's score with each correctly answered question. Dead-ends are common, though retracing steps does not require answering more questions. While the exit is marked, the road leading to the exit has many twists and turns. To unlock a door between rooms, the player must correctly answer a multiple-choice, timed trivia question. The castle consists of several floors, each floor holding 100 rooms in a 10x10 grid. In MindMaze, while reading Encarta, the player is transported back in time to break the curse on King Miser the First's castle. (Earlier versions have a direct link in the main menu, later versions hide it behind the Ctrl-Z shortcut.) Included, from Encarta 94 to Encarta 2007, with minor user-interface variations between versions, is the educational game MindMaze. Not an American user?
