Now is your chance to take on the role of Luke and destroy the Death Star. You think it’s easy? You think it’s just going to take a couple squads of X-Wings to cover your butt while you shoot some torpedoes in the hole? It’s not going to be that simple this time.
In this Perplexus Maze, you have to navigate the X-Wing, which in this case is a tiny metal ball, through tunnels and pathways until reaching the escape hatch to the glowing red core. This clear Death Star allows you to see every angle as you strive to blow this space station up.
This puzzle lights up and has sound effects too. Once you get that X-Wing where it needs to go, you’ll hear Han in your head giving you a yahoo and telling you to it’s time to go home. You can grab one from Amazon for $40.

Adam Savage is always working on some kind of cool project. The man never seems to slow down. For a recent feature on Tested, Adam designed and built an impressively accurate replica of the hedge maze from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.
As usual, Adam takes a project and knocks it out of the park. It makes me want to watch the movie again.

Earlier this week, this huge Pac-Man maze showed up in the LA Fashion District. Apparently it is for a Bud Light Super Bowl commercial they’re filming. It even has life-size ghosts and dots.
Screw the video game. This commercial is what I want to see.

I have never even heard of micro dominoes before. I guess they are just like regular dominoes, but tiny. Like 80x smaller and 100x lighter in fact. They look like tiny sticks of gum. Who knew? These things are so small, they have to be set up using tweezers. And it will tick you off 80x more than standard dominoes, when they all fall before you are ready.
I wonder how many tries it took to set this one up. There’s no way they did that the first time. Good job domi-nerds. You rule.

You know what Doctor Who needs? More corn! A cornocupia of corn. It’s timey-wimey, corny, worny. Forget the Brigadier. We need the Kernel! Ugh! Terrible. That’s it for my corny jokes.
So what’s the deal with this huge Doctor Who crop formation? It’s to celebrate 50 time-traveling years of Doctor Who. The 300+ meter-long maze was made by York Maze and and you may have noticed, it depicts a giant Dalek, along with the first and latest Doctor.
It looks pretty awesome, but I would hate to get lost in this maze of maize – especially if I bumped into these guys…
At least we know that aliens didn’t create this one.

Never get out of this maze, never get out of this maze. Many people say that trying to find the time on many of Tokyoflash’s watches is like looking at a maze but this new one is actually supposed to look like a maze. The logically named Tokyoflash Kisai Maze watch has two modes- maze and regular digital mode. Press the button and it switches over.
The time is actually there within the maze. Once you see how to see the time in the maze, your eyes will adjust so that you can see it every time right away. Stealthy. There’s even an animation mode where a little pixel moves around the maze like an 8bit arcade game. Here’s a video demo:
There’s also a date and alarm modes as well as backlighting with press of a button. You’ve got 8 color choices for the Maze. That’s A-maze-ing (sorry, couldn’t resist that one, I’ll head back to my cavern of shame and hall of dismay).
