BEACONS AND
SWITCH TOKEN:
For challenges that include
the 3-way Switch token, the
Challenge Card indicates
the Beacon conguration
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.
. Identify the Beacons you must light
to solve the challenge.

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.
