Fun Stop
You Hold the Key
There is no way through this maze! At least, not without a key. And you’re lucky enough to have one—but only one. You may open only one of the locked doors in the entire maze. In addition, there’s only one door that, once opened, will let you through the rest of the maze successfully. So don’t be discouraged if you have to make the attempt more than once!
