While reaching the half of the maze, a screamer with The Grim (from ''The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy'') pops up, yelling "NOOOO!" in his american voice, and then goes into a red screen saying "MES DE TERROR! Te asustaste? Te engañamos!" (MONTH OF TERROR! Did you get scared? We tricked you!), along with what is barely remembered to be, a text telling the player to send it to his/her friends with the code "MIEDO" (FEAR). According to recent testimonials, The Grim also pops up when touching the grass area three times, a likely attempt at a "Game Over" screen.

According to the page manobros.com, the game was available from May 22, 2009 on its website. Using the inspect element option, you can get the original link where the code "200810" appears, indicating that it existed since October 2008. The game was removed from the Cartoon Network page at some point in 2011. It has been mentioned on some pages and articles. Anyway, on YouTube you can find a gameplay of the game, although this does not show the game in its entirety.


Through manobros.com, the original link to the Cartoon Network site can be obtained, although this leads nowhere and the versions archived at the Wayback Machine are broken. A thumbnail has also been found within a part of the same site which shows what the game's title screen would look like, and two screenshots, one taken from an Argentine blog article. and another from a video demonstration of the Cartoon Network 2.5 page.  
While reaching more than the half of the maze, a screamer with The Grim from ''The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy'' pops up, with a male voice yelling "NOOOO!", and then goes into an end screen; "MES DE TERROR! Videos, disfraces, accesorios de cabeza y más... ¡Este mes no dejes de asustar!" (MONTH OF TERROR! Videos, costumes, head accesories and more... This month don't stop scaring!), along with three Toonix avatars in halloween costumes, and two thumbnails for screamer videos created by CN for the Month of Terror, an option to go to the dedicated microsite, and a bottom text telling the player to send it to his/her friends, all in a background that is dark red with blood splotches.


During his search, he found an index page containing various versions of the game inside a folder, this carried the same code that was in the original link. Also, in the folder appears the date of modification, or upload of the file, which details that it was probably published on October 27, 2008 on the Cartoon Network page. Something to highlight is the number of different versions of the game, each of these files is named "terrorgame" plus an abbreviation of the country: ar (Argentina), cl (Chile), la (Latin America - used in the rest of the continent), mx (Mexico), ve (Venezuela). The language was also included in the files: es (Spanish). However, one of these files has only the abbreviation of the language instead of the country which is pt (Portuguese) that came to be used on the Cartoon Network Brazil page as O labirinto do Blu , according to some testimonies.

El Laberinto de Blu (Bloo's Maze) is a screamer Flash game that was available on the latinamerican Cartoon Network website in October 2008, based on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends TV series. The game was a parody to The Maze.

It was available on the website since 2008, to 2011, where it was removed after the website got a restructuration. It was also available on the Brazilian Cartoon Network website, where it was called "O Labirinto do Blu".

The game is actually well known on the Spanish-speaking Lost Media community, where many members tried to find a copy of the game before Adobe Flash closed on January 1st 2021, all in vain unfortunately. One thing that was only available from this game besides two screenshots of the game's thumbnail from the Brazilian and Argentinian websites, is a gameplay video (although it doesn't show the entire game, and the scream is the one from Zoeken due to an editing.)

In July 21, 2021, the game was found by Hispanic Lost Media Wiki user MatyGamingHD and Flashpoint user Ganonthegreat in a CDN by Turner, after which the game was uploaded in a Google Drive folder, along with its different versions for different latinamerican countries as shown in their filenames, mx (Mexico), ve (Venezuela), br (Brazil), cl (Chile), ar (Argentina), and la (Latinamerica), for the rest of the country, although they're the same game save for the language in the Brazilian Portuguese variant.

Gameplay

As stated above, is a parody to The Maze, meaning it has similar gameplay; unlike the Maze, the title screen contains an instructions option, where besides telling how to play, it tells the player to turn up the speakers, to supposedly hear a "code" that Bloo will give the player upon reaching the end. After starting the game, using the mouse, you have to control Bloo through a white maze surrounded by turquoise-color grass with trees (instead of walls) to avoid touching, to try to reach a brown rectangle with an animated, shining key at the end.

While reaching more than the half of the maze, a screamer with The Grim from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy pops up, with a male voice yelling "NOOOO!", and then goes into an end screen; "MES DE TERROR! Videos, disfraces, accesorios de cabeza y más... ¡Este mes no dejes de asustar!" (MONTH OF TERROR! Videos, costumes, head accesories and more... This month don't stop scaring!), along with three Toonix avatars in halloween costumes, and two thumbnails for screamer videos created by CN for the Month of Terror, an option to go to the dedicated microsite, and a bottom text telling the player to send it to his/her friends, all in a background that is dark red with blood splotches.
