Hype Maze

Banked

A no-shooting zombie escape. Weave through the maze and rescue every survivor to clear each floor while roaming zombies hunt you down — they take shortcuts, so keep moving. One touch ends the run; the more you rescue and the deeper you get, the bigger the Hype payout.

Zombie Maze Escape: how to play, rules & tips

Play Zombie Maze Escape free online: run the maze, rescue every survivor and stay out of reach of the zombies. Hype Maze is a maze chase game with no shooting at all.

How to play Zombie Maze Escape

Swipe, or use the arrow keys or WASD, to set your direction. You keep moving that way until you turn or reach a wall. If you press a direction before you reach an opening, you take that turn as soon as it opens.

Walk over the glowing survivors to rescue them. Rescue every survivor on a floor to clear it and move on to the next. The zombies hunt you through the maze, and one touch ends the run. Restart is always free.

Floors, zombies and scoring

There are three maze layouts, and they repeat as you go deeper. Floor 1 has one zombie, and each new floor adds one more, up to four. On floors 1 and 2 the zombies move at half your speed. From floor 3 on they move as fast as you do.

Zombies chase you along the shortest route, but now and then they take a random step, so they can be dodged. Each survivor scores 10 points and each cleared floor adds 150. Your best run banks Neons, and getting caught never takes them back.

Zombie Maze Escape tips

Use the early floors. Zombies are slow there, so clear the hard-to-reach corners first.
From floor 3, never head down a corridor toward a zombie. It is as fast as you, and the horde only gets bigger.
Lead zombies around a loop of walls, then cut back to the survivors on the other side.
Queue your next turn before you reach the corner so you never stop in the open.
Grab the survivors in dead ends while the zombies are far away. Those are the riskiest spots later.
