'''<font color="Cyan">''The Maze''</font>''', more commonly known as the ''Scary Maze Game'', is a Flash game created in 2004. It was made by game developer [[Jeremy Winterrowd]]. | |||

At the start screen, there is a note telling the player to beat all four levels to intrigue them further into the game. However, there are actually only three levels. | This Flash prank disguises itself as a simple maze game in which the player has to move their mouse cursor to progress through the maze.
