This maze book contains 23 separate adventures to choose from, each one inspired by a great exploration of the last several centuries. The mazes are based around snake-infested tombs and tarantula-riddled Inca dwellings, terrifying underground caves and treacherous rapids, on frozen wastes and lifeless moonscapes, and the explorers include Marco Polo, Christopher Columbus, the crew of Apollo 11, Captain Scott and Professor Howard Carter. The book provides real science and history background to the games and puzzles.
