Aotea Square

Family & Kids

Get ready to see Aotea Square as you’ve never seen it before with The Space Maze. In partnership with Auckland Live, creative duo The Open Fort have transformed Aotea Square into a playground for all ages.

Find yourself lost inside a maze, challenge your friends and whānau to a colourful race, or discover words of kindness hidden right under your feet. However you play it, The Space Maze guarantees a brighter winter’s day, and after dark takes on a new dimension in the glow of DotDot’s animated projections from high above, on the Aotea Centre Wrap

We’ll be adding more games and a-mazing events over the next few months, so check back here or follow us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter all the latest updates. Take a look at some of the games below!

2. Colourful Racing

There are two START and FINISH hexagons at the edges of The Space Maze. Bring your friends, jump on a START hexagon and see who can get to their FINISH hexagon first. The catch is you can only move across hexagons of the same colour you started on.


3. A Maze Of Arrows

There are four mazes of arrows, each with two entrances and exits hidden in our pattern. Challenge a friend: find one of the ENTRY or EXIT spots each (they are pink and orange) then follow the arrows and see who can reach the other end of their maze first.
