The Panda's Maze

(align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[ #The Panda's Maze by Dillon Newberg I hope you enjoy this interactive experience. To begin, please click [[here->The Panda's Maze]].]

Here is how this works: 1. You proceed through the maze until you reach a crossroad. 2. Each crossroad has a riddle. Answer correctly and you'll find your way out of the maze. 3. Do not answer incorrectly. You'll regret it. I won't, but you will. Are you ready? [[Yes]] [[No]] If you want to see where the riddles come from, check out the (t8n-time:1s)[[source->riddle]]. For the images click [[here.->images]]

Yay, you're playing!!! Oh, and guess what. You're starting at a crossroad. Here's the first riddle (This is easy): A man who was outside in the rain without an umbrella or hat didn't get a single hair wet. Why? A. He wore a hoodie. [[(Go Left)]] B. He was completely bald. [[(Go Right)]]

You don't want to play? That's too bad because I already closed the door... I guess you have to, my friend. [[Teehee...->Yes]]

You go left aaaaannnd...you're at a dead end. You're not the first to choose that answer. Don't feel too bad, friend. Since it's the first round, I'll go easy on you. Just go (t8n-time:1s)[[back->Yes]] and try again.

Yay!!! Good job! Let's keep going (link-reveal: "shall we.")[ (link-reveal: "Over the rocks")[(link-reveal: ", pass the cobwebs")[(link-reveal: ", avoid the snake...")[(link-reveal: "I mean, what snake?
