04.18.2015 Mall of America Mirror Maze


I found a group-on for a mirror maze! Tickets were purchased, and co-workers were recruited.

We were given plastic gloves so as to not dirty and smudge the mirrors and entered though a thick black curtain. The place is dark, and looks as though there are an infinite number of pathways, but it was more like an infinite number of tricks.

This was surprisingly difficult to get through! Everyone went in thinking, "This is for kids, it's going to be like a cheap funhouse" (Actually, I went in thinking, "Yaay!") All the mirrors were angled so you couldn't tell if your friend in front of you, around the corner, behind you, or just in the mirror, so we really did walk in circles for a while...I was leading the group, so that did not help either but luckily (or unluckily?) we stuck together. Shamefully, even the kids that were in the mirror maze figured it out and got out before we did.

Obviously we eventually made it out, I stopped looking for directions and we soon found a new pathway to the exit. But for the record, if you put me back in the maze again, I still wouldn't know how to get out.

Also! This place would make for a very dangerous (and exciting) game of tag..!
