Mummy Maze is a game created by PopCap in 2002. It is based on Robert Abbott’s Theseus maze. There are 3 scales of lattices: 6*6, 8*8, 10*10. With white mummy functioning as Minotaur, Mummy Maze introduced many varieties: red mummy, scorpion, trap, gate and key. There is only one Minotaur in the original Theseus maze, while the explorer in Mummy Maze faces more enemies.
