Crystal Maze 3D has 10 levels across forest, cave, frozen lands, temple and castle scenes. Ordinary levels require three steps: collect crystals, find the golden key, then enter the portal.
Corridors and pickup positions change between runs. All counts are configured targets; check your HUD for actual totals.
Quick basics
Play Crystal Maze 3D using WASD or arrow keys to move and the mouse to look; touchscreens have a joystick and action buttons. See the Crystal Maze 3D controls guide for focus and fullscreen help.
Complete the crystal counter to reveal the key in ordinary levels. Picking it up opens the portal. Losing all health costs a life and respawns you at a checkpoint if lives remain; losing your remaining lives ends the run.

Searching for the golden key
In Crystal Maze 3D, the key usually occupies a reachable dead end; generation can fall back to another unused reachable cell. It stays invisible until all crystals are collected. The portal occupies the cell farthest from the start by maze-path distance. Remember its passage for the return trip.
