How to play The Maze on Mac

Game summary
Also commonly known as "Scary Maze Game," it became popular around the early 2000s as a "screamer" prank to jump-scare people. Gameplay consists of avoiding touching the walls with your mouse cursor to reach the end of the maze. These walls get closer together after each level, making the path the player must travel through narrower.
Infamously, when the player is close to reaching the end of level 3, a picture of the possessed girl from The Exorcist flashes on the screen against the sounds of loud screaming.
First released: Dec 2003
Play The Maze on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play The Maze on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
The Maze installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install The Maze like you would on any PC.
