From Chapter 5....

First-time runners must try the 3-circuit labyrinth. 4 turnings are needed to escape it.


More experienced runners can train on the 5-circuit labyrinth. 5 turnings are needed to escape it.

What makes up a "circuit"?

And how would one "escape"??

I see one way in and one way out for all but the middle drawing...

hmmmmm
No way out in the bottom labyrinth either, meant for the more experienced runners, although it says 5 turns are necessary to escape...I guess we can speculate what "escape" actually means now...

And why would one have to escape the labyrinth? Shocked

Maybe they start in the center?

There is a center and an exit way, just that. I think they start in the center.

 		But how did they get to the center in the first place? My guess...and it doesn't really make sense to speculate about it now, but I will anyway because there's nothing else to talk about at this point Rolling Eyes ...is that it's some kind of multi-world portal. Which fits with the whole Schroedinger multi-world theory.

One thing we haven't talked about for awhile is the whole synchronous athletics idea. Are multiple labyrinths run at once in different places? Did our athletes run synchronous labyrinths somewhere else that deposited them in this world? Doesn't make sense to speculate about that at this point either, but I guess it's something to keep in mind when we try to figure out the big picture.

 		But it seems correct to start in the center, then you need 5 turnings to get out.

 		Maybe they get to the center the same way our 6 amnesiacs got there... although that clearly remains a mystery as well.

 		Do we have it straight which are the walls and which is the path? Because I can see an easy way in and out for the Olympic labyrinth, that requires eight turns, has a centre and an exit - if I IGNORE the clews and go with the path inbetween them. This works for both other labyrinths as well. I think the clews are the walls, and they're meant to be 2ft thick. But, I don't know. I could be wrong, I did only just wake up. If you look at the oblique view of a labyrinth on the second page, though, I think I'm right.

 		Just to remind everyone: The players have to walk this blindfolded. So the problem of finding out of the labyrinth is not that there are several paths. There is only one, but you have to run through blindfolded.
That's at least as I understood the lost game, or parts of it Wink

Yes, I think you are right. I think the world we live in is supposed to be part of the synchronization and since it isn't, athletes have become stranded here at different times through history.

The story of it's collection is pending! Very Happy

EDIT: For wiki update, just want to clarify I did not make the pickup myself.
So, Mr. Judkins, what's the story??

I agree with that too! I made this long post about my theory on the labyrinths and the synchronisation and everything (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=498870#498870); does anyone have any other speculations? I'm really curious what everyone else might think!

Someone postulated the idea that these labyrinths are actually made of people--lined up, humans form the "walls". If that's the case, a blindfolded athlete could start in the center, and the labyrinth walls could be formed around them!
