Making one's way through a maze is generally a competitive game of skill, engaging logic and analytical processes, and is focused on achieving a particular outcome. Therefore, it usually has walls designed to obscure the view of the correct path.

Jerry and Janett Etzkorn recreated this temporary heart labyrinth every summer on a beach just below the Carmanah Point Lightstation on Vancouver Island where the pair were lighthouse keepers for 36 years.
