The Rat Mazes
I adopted two ratties at the end of summer 2021 and, thanks to them, stumbled into a new hobby. I began building parkour-style mazes and playgrounds for them to explore. A playful way to apply level design thinking in the real world. Each setup became a tiny testing ground, with iteration cycles shaped by the “users” themselves: curious, agile, and delightfully unpredictable with explorations rewards
