Competition

The competition is a race against the clock. you have to explore the maze, find the optimum route to the target cells and then run from start to target as fast as you can. these phases present different challenges to the mouse.

Essentially, you have a wooden maze made up of a 16 by 16 grid of cells. Mice must find their way from a predetermined starting position to the central area of the maze unaided. The mouse will need to keep track of where it is, discover walls as it explores, map out the maze and detect when it has reached the goal. As if that was not enough, the winner is the mouse that manages this the fastest. There are many versions of the full rules on-line and there are a number of minor variations on how the score of the mouse is determined.
