A maze you can't see, for iPhone and Apple Watch. Slide your finger through the dark and feel every wall in your hand. Reach the exit, and the way you came lights up as a thread of light.
While you play, the maze stays hidden. When you get out, it shows you everything. These are the app's real screens, not mock-ups.
There's nothing to look at: a black screen, a faint grid and a small ring where you stand. Touch anywhere, slide the way you want to go, and the walls answer in your hand.
Reach the exit and the route you felt your way along is traced as a thread of light, start to finish, with sparks at every turn and a light click in your hand as the thread goes by each one.
In Curvatures, the walls run in rings and the corridors bend, so there's no right angle to count on. You trace the shape in your head, one turn at a time.
The Awakening teaches you to read the walls. Whispers hides keys you must find before the exit opens. Curvatures bends the maze into circles. Echoes and Shadows adds holes, doors that open and close, and traps on the move.
Neon is yours from the start. Northern Lights, Volcanic, Nebula and Plasma Laser change the thread that reveals every path, and on iPhone your home screen icon changes with it.
Touch tells you where the walls are, sound tells you where things are, and the light comes last.
Each sensation means one thing: a jolt for a wall, a rising buzz as one gets close, a double tap at a corner, a metallic double pulse for a key, a rattle for a trap, a warm swell at the exit.
Footsteps, a thud where you hit, a chime at a junction, the tick of a closed door or a moving trap from wherever it is. With headphones, you can hear which side it's on.
Voice guidance reads every instruction aloud and tells you what just happened: “Key found.”, “The door is closed.”, “Trap! Back to the start.” Turn it off in Settings when you know the way.
Double-tap the maze and its walls and exit flash up three times, then go dark again. You start with three hints, and a level solved with one tops out at two stars.
Three for getting out within twice the time of the shortest route, with no more than three walls hit. Take longer, or bump more, and it's two, or one.
A new maze every day, the same for everyone, with a key to find. One free try a day; the Daily Pass lets you go again as often as you like.
With VoiceOver on, your finger still steers through the maze directly, and a hint speaks the way instead of flashing it: “Up 2, then right.” With Reduce Motion, the reveal shows the whole maze from the start, without camera moves.
One in-app purchase opens chapters 2 to 4 for good. The Daily Pass, the light threads and hint packs are extras you can skip. No subscription.
No account, no ads, no tracking, nothing sent to our servers. Your stars stay on your device; only your hint count travels, through your own iCloud.
Haptic Maze has its own Apple Watch app, and it runs without your iPhone. Turn the Digital Crown to push forward, or slide on the screen, and feel the walls on your wrist.
It's on its way to the App Store for iPhone and Apple Watch. Leave your email and we'll write once, on the day it comes out.
