The Maze (1992)

A teenage competition through a maze is used as an analogy to show how the scriptures help us get through life.

I grew up on these seminary videos as a ces child (many of them out there, we need to start a FB group, calling all you seminary teachers kids) One of the coolest memories I have was going to this maze in Fairfield, CA with my Dad and all the institute students. I couldn't believe I was in the same place as this video.

That’s so cool

Hey it’s Pete! And he’s back from Chicago!

[@user-zc6xy1yy4e]

Finally, I find this Maze to guide me to get out of maze

this seminary teacher is the most imaginative one in the world.

Excited to share these with my Primary Children especially during these days. Thank you

[@gaymichaelis7581]

Good idea, Debra! This is really fun, isn’t it?!

Buttercream Gang flashbacks

[@gaymichaelis7581]

I have no idea what buttercream gang is?! Zack?

[@ChristianRogersMoneyBruh]

@@gaymichaelis7581 it’s a movie,

[@jonjahr3403]

OMG I can still remember wearing those uniforms for football and basketball in Middle School and Junior High P.E. we also wore them during the annual basketball tournament during our Intra Stake Youth Conferences. Lastly it was funny seeing Pete from The Butter Cream Gang in this video. No wonder he couldn't get away from the cops in Butter Cream Gang.

The guy with the cheat map is one of the basketball players from On Our Way Home.

And the bad boy from buttercream gang

[@gaymichaelis7581]

Really?

[@blackhole-oy2xd]

bReH I've been looking for this forever duhd

[@PsychoBoyJack11]

Is noone going to mention the fact that the red team could easily go underneath the wall at 7:40 instead of climbing over?

[@kenpoarniceguy1]

I noticed but I always assumed they were so caught up in climbing walls they didn't even notice.

[@gaymichaelis7581]

Really? Where are you talking about? I didn’t notice!

[@ryanhansen9779]

So, the overlook conceptually represents the Scriptures, showing us the way, right? I feel like there should be more to this video at the end, like a direct Gospel tie-in that discusses the different teams and choices that led one of the teams to success. Is there more on VHS somewhere from the past?

[@gaymichaelis7581]

I think I agree with you there, Ryan…

[@gaymichaelis7581]

Oh, but I didn’t even think about the Scriptures and the overlooks! I didn’t even get that far, only thinking what is this supposed to teach them?

[@ryanhansen9779]

@@gaymichaelis7581 it is supposed to teach them that when we feel lost on the way, those of us who slow down and take the time to carefully study them we can see the BIG picture. We start Seeing life from an eternal perspective and not just close up.

[@bluecrystals6864]

Well I needed to read your comment to connect that, so, yes, a message to tie it in would be helpful😅

[@vampov]

I've always wanted to know where this maze is, I'm assuming it's in Utah somewhere? Is it still around? Does anyone out there know?

[@gaymichaelis7581]

I was wondering that myself, vampov!

[@Gnarmac2k]

I vaguely recall a maze like this in south jordan, pretty close to I-15. I would bet it’s long gone.

[@glennjamen]

This was in Vacaville, CA. It was called The Wooz.

[@ThePadillaFilms]

@@glennjamen I knew it! I grew up in the area and it looked so familiar. The wooz is long gone but I’m glad to see it here

[@Moose1032]

Someone in the comments said it was in Fairfield Ca.

[@PsychoBoyJack11]

And then the Blue and Red teams died of starvation

[@auntieheksold-timemedicine3045]

Is the blond kid on the blue team the same dude who was in McGee and Me?

[@OneWeirdDude]

I find it interesting that the teams that cheated had natural consequences for it.
