The Labyrinth Table is a playful piece of wood furniture built by Benjamin Nordsmark. As the name suggests, the minimalist rectangular table consists of a giant maze that’s situated beneath a sheet of diamond glass. Nordsmark calls this a “small universe,” and the mesmerizing labyrinth is occupied by six small figures that can be moved around by the handles underneath the table.
Nordsmark intends for his gorgeous creation to evoke a sense of nostalgia. “Most people remember from their childhood how they used to play with miniature figures,” he writes. This fond memory encourages people to engage and explore “the story of the labyrinth” and to move the different characters through the giant puzzle.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

That maze was modeled from the maze in the movie “The Shining”. Adam savage from myth busters recently made a 100% accuruate version of the maze for the cubrick museum.
