'''The Maze''', | '''The Maze''', also known as the '''Scary Maze Game''' was a Flash game created in October 2004 by game developer [[Jeremy Winterrowd]]. | ||
This Flash prank disguises itself as a simple maze game in which the player has to utilize their mouse cursor to move a blue little dot through the maze. At the start screen, there is a note informing the player that the objective of the game is to pass through all 4 levels, and the player cannot touch the walls; however, there are only three levels in the game. The game also explains that it is best with the volume on, but, there is no sound in any part of the game. | This Flash prank disguises itself as a simple maze game in which the player has to utilize their mouse cursor to move a blue little dot through the maze.

The first two levels are easy to complete. But as the third level is reached, the walls begin to shrink and have sharp turns, making it difficult to avoid touching them. This usually makes the player concentrate on the screen. Then, near the first curve to the left of the maze sharp part (The game also knows if the player is cheating; if they use right-click), an image of [[Regan MacNeil]] in her possessed state from the 1973 supernatural horror film ''[[wikipedia:The Exorcist|The Exorcist]]'' pops up along with a loud, distorted scream that plays twice, scaring the player. | The first two levels are easy to complete.

The game was uploaded to Jeremy's now-defunct personal website, Winterrowd.com in 2005. The original version of the game had some slight differences in color, where orange/yellow with alternative text was used instead of cyan.
