WARNING
Avoid creating “short circuits” when building circuits in Circuit Maze
™
.
Doing so can cause the batteries to overheat and damage the
game’s components.
A “short circuit” occurs when there is no resistance, or very little
resistance, between the two ends of the Power Supply. In Circuit Maze, this
occurs any time there is a direct path of metal strips from the Start (+) end
of the Power Supply token to the Finish (–) end with no LED Beacons in
between. Pages 10 & 11 give more information on short circuits.
Example 1 Example 2 Example 3
Make sure to avoid creating “short circuits” such as those shown
above, where the current can move completely through the circuit
without passing through an LED. Always remove the Power Supply
tokens from the grid when Circuit Maze is not in use.
Before starting to play Circuit Maze, always
check your batteries rst. Try this simple
test setup. If the LED doesn’t light up, your
batteries may be dead, if so, you will need
to replace them with fresh batteries.

Circuit Maze
™
is an electricity puzzle game. To play, you build
a circuit pathway across the Game Grid from Start to Finish.
When you complete your circuit and light up the
designated Beacons, YOU WIN!
Circuit Maze is challenging and fun. Plus, hands-on circuit
building teaches you how electricity really works.
You’ll develop a good mental model for how current ows
through an electrical circuit as you play.
