Labyrinth

A unicursaA labyrinth has only a single path to the center. A labyrinth has an unambiguous route to the center and back and presents no navigational challenge.

A maze refers to a complex branching multicursal puzzle with choices of path and direction.

In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth is an elaborate, confusing structure designed and built by the mythological artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, the monster eventually killed by the hero Theseus. Daedalus had so cunningly made the Labyrinth that he could barely escape it after he built it.
