Word Maze is described as a combination of 3D maze and word guessing game.

A maze is displayed in 3D and starts moving by itself. When it comes to a fork, you have to guess a word, rather like in hangman except you have to guess it before a bomb goes off! If you don't manage to get the word, marks will be deducted and you're asked to advance left or right. If your choice agrees with the computer, you will advance toward the exit; if not, towards a dead end. If you get the word right, your score is increased and you're guided towards the exit by the computer. If you get out of the maze before oxygen runs out, you have the option to play again.

As a 3D maze, Word Maze is trivial and boring. As an educational game, even though the program allows you to add your own words, it won't teach you many new words. Sound and animation are virtually non-existent and I'm afraid, all this boils down to is a souped up game of Hangman with some graphics at an inflated price.
