The object is to collect the fire, found at the end of the maze, in as little time as possible. The timer on the bottom records your progress, and will reset to zero when you make contact with any of the walls – something you are not allowed to do. The trick is patience and coordination, you are doing well if you can reach the end in under half a minute.
