About Tomb of the Mask
Tomb of the Mask sends you into a strange new kind of labyrinth, lured there by a mystic mask and your own appetite for adventure. Movement works differently than in most maze games: one swipe shoots your hero in a straight line until a wall stops them. As you travel, you paint the maze, and the only way to reach the next labyrinth is to cover every corner of the current one.
That single rule turns each maze into a route-planning puzzle, since dashing into the wrong dead end can force a long detour to reach the stretches you missed. Some mazes aren't as safe as they first appear, either, so stay alert for traps along the way. Quick swipes and bite-sized stages make it ideal for mobile play and short sessions, yet working out the most efficient path keeps your brain busy the whole time.
How to play Tomb of the Mask
- Swipe in a direction to send your character dashing until it hits a wall.
- Move through the maze to paint over every corner of it.
- Watch out for hazards, since some labyrinths are more dangerous than they look.
- Finish painting the whole maze to move on to the next one.

Tips and tricks
- Before your first move, scan the maze for corners that can only be reached one way and plan to visit them early.
- If a maze won't complete, check the small nooks and dead ends for an unpainted patch.
- Don't swipe faster than you can think; one rushed dash into a trap costs more than a brief pause.
- Plan a route where each dash paints new ground instead of retracing paths you've already covered.
