Magic Maze: Hidden Roles

Players control a team of adventurers moving through a mall-like labyrinth to locate items and reach the exit under a strict time limit. Movement and actions are resolved in real time with each player responsible for specific directional controls, while a shared sand timer and limited communication create pressure. One or more hidden-role cards assign secret objectives that can conflict with the group goal; traitors try to subtly obstruct progress without being exposed, and calling out a suspected traitor hands that player's control to someone else. Optional challenge cards add private tasks and location-based goals that influence player behavior. Requires three or more players.
