BEACONS AND
SWITCH TOKEN:
For challenges that include
the 3-way Switch token, the
Challenge Card indicates
the Beacon conguration
goal for each
switch position.
SETUP:
. Select a Challenge Card.
. Set up the tokens on your game grid
to match the symbols illustrated on
the Challenge Card.
a. NOTE: The exact location and
orientation of some tokens
will be given. If the symbol
contains a ROTATE sign
, it
is up to you to gure out the
orientation.
. Select the tokens underneath the
words “ADD TO GRID” for use in
this challenge. Any remaining
tokens will not be used.

CIRCUIT MAZE RULES AND CURRENT FLOW:
The following are the rules and regulations for how the current ows in
Circuit Maze. These will be helpful for you to understand as you play.
Our rules match the rules for how electrical circuits behave; by playing
Circuit Maze you will be learning basic electronics concepts.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS:
You solve each challenge by placing your tokens on the game board to
create a pathway – that is, a circuit – of metal strips, light Beacons and
switches that connect the Start Token (+) to the Finish Token (–). Your
solution must include at least one illuminated Beacon (LED/resistor)
along the pathway or have an open switch.
You’ll notice that the Start and Finish Tokens are connected by a
wire, and that the Start Token (+) houses three AAA batteries.
