Encarta

Multimedia encyclopedia which included a trivia game, MindMaze, in every edition of until Encarta 2007. Early versions have MindMaze as a direct link in the main menu, while later versions hide it behind a Ctrl+Z shortcut. In MindMaze, the player navigates through several floors with 100 rooms each in a 10x10 grid, moving through rooms by answering multiple-choice trivia questions on a timer. Answering a question wrong twice in a row resets the question. In each room is a character that will talk to the player, and there are paintings on the walls which lead to articles within Encarta. There are four difficulty levels, and nine trivia categories for selection. When answering a question, an article link is next to each potential answer.
