What are The Maze Trials?
This is an original survival PvE minigame inspired by The Maze Runner. Players wake up in a mysterious glade, surrounded by towering walls and four massive doors leading into an ever-changing deadly maze.
Their goal? Survive, explore, and escape.
Daytime: The maze doors open, allowing players to scavenge resources, battle rival teams, and search for the exit.
Nighttime: The doors close, and monstrous Grievers emerge—custom creatures that hunt down anyone left outside.
Victory: 50% of the team needs to escape, so teamwork is essential to get to the end. (WIP)
The Maze Trials is built for fast-paced 1.5-2 hour games with progression mechanics, strategy, and high-stakes survival elements.
What We’ve Developed So Far
- Dynamic Maze System – The maze doors open and close based on time, creating a living, shifting world.
- Queueing system – Players can join and leave the queue, and get teleported when enough players are online.
- World Protection - The maze walls are protected from scrutiny
Planned:
- Custom Items & Mechanics – Final product may differ:
- Maze Runner Boots (Speed III)
- Maze Compass (Points to the exit)
- Balanced Gameplay Mechanics
What Still Needs Development
While I’ve made incredible progress, I still need to work on quite some things:
Remaining Plugin Development:- Matchmaking system, lobby, game countdown, post-game rewards
- Grievers pathfinding, spawning, intelligence
- Custom events fog, storms, earthquakes,
- Balancing
- Infraction system for player management
Looking for a Co-Owner!
I’m leading the development & plugin side, but I’m looking for a co-owner who can take charge of server management, community growth, and staff organization.If you love building a community, managing game servers, and bringing players together, this might be the perfect opportunity for you! There is no monetary incentive at the moment, but once you create a community around this, I'd love to share any revenue with the team directly.
Join the Project!
Looking for experienced:- Builders (Maze designers, atmospheric structures, biomes)
- Server Staff & Moderators (Managing in-game events, helping new players)
