{{Main|List of maze video games}}
'''Maze game''' is a [[video game genre]] first described by journalists during the 1980s to describe any game in which the entire playing field is a maze. The player must escape monsters, outrace an opponent, or navigate the maze within a time limit. After the release of [[Namco]]'s ''[[Pac-Man]]'' in 1980, many maze games followed its conventions of completing a level by traversing all paths and a way of temporarily turning the tables on pursuers.

===Television===
* Both ''[[Nubeluz]]'' and ''[[American Gladiators (1989 TV series)|American Gladiators]]'', from Peru and the United States respectively, featured a giant life-size maze used in competition. The object on both programs was for the contestants to find their way from the entrance to the exit as quickly as possible. On ''Nubeluz'', the contestants took turns running through the maze and had a maximum of 1 minute to reach the exit;<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O43hZ3piBZQ A segment of an early 1992 episode of ''Nubeluz'' featuring the maze.
