This technology includes a base plate and multiple rotating wall elements. Each element can be rotated and positioned, so that all elements can be adjusted to a maze toy with self-setup paths. Through the rotation and positioning of individual wall units, the user can adjust the various game paths by himself, and design the maze moves from the simplest to the more complicated, which can increase the challenge and interest of this toy. This work can be used as a teaching material for school children to train the reflexes and concentration of “hands, eyes and heart”; it can also be used as a toy and assistive device for the seniors to train their hand-eye coordination, which can prevent and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
