👻 Ghost Maze

← All games

Ghost Maze is an arcade maze-chase in the classic style — with its own boards and characters. You guide a white dumpling through a 19×21 maze, eating pellets (10 points) and four power pellets (50 points) that briefly flip the roles: the frightened ghosts flee and you can catch them for 200, 400, 800 and 1600 points in a row. Four ghosts with distinct personalities hunt you: Bystry charges straight at you, Cichy cuts off your path, Zwinny strikes from unexpected angles and Leniwy only chases from a distance. Side tunnels wrap around to the other edge of the board, fruit bonuses appear at the pen exit, and clearing all pellets brings the next maze at a faster pace. You have 3 lives. Steer with the arrows, WASD, a swipe or the on-screen buttons.

How to play

  • Steer the dumpling with the arrow keys, W/A/S/D, a swipe gesture or the directional buttons under the board. You can press a turn early — the dumpling turns at the next intersection.
  • Eat the pellets: a regular one scores 10 points, a power pellet 50 points and frightens the ghosts for a few seconds — catch them then for 200, 400, 800 and 1600 points. The fright lasts shorter on every level.
  • Each ghost hunts differently: Bystry charges straight at you, Cichy aims 4 tiles ahead of you, Zwinny attacks from the far side, and Leniwy only chases while it is far away.
  • The side tunnels wrap around to the opposite edge of the board — ghosts slow down inside them. A caught ghost returns to the pen as a pair of eyes and comes back out.
  • Twice per level a fruit appears at the pen exit — eat it for a bonus of 100 to 500 points.
  • Collect every pellet to advance to the next maze (the layouts alternate each level and the pace rises by 5%). You have 3 lives. Press P or Escape to pause; your best score is saved in your browser.
