3-circuits labyrinth on your own - Find the Lost Ring Instructable series

3-circuits labyrinth on your own - Find the Lost Ring Instructable series
Hello, and welcome to my second Instructable in a series of a few that'll give you the basics to bring planet Earth back into the synchronised Ring of Worlds that spreads over so many dimensions*.

In this Instructable, we'll look at how to draw a 3-circuits Human Labyrinth - the smallest type of labyrinth one can use for the Lost Sport, used to learn the rules and basics of this game. More specifically, and since some of us have to make do with little to no help from anyone in areas or countries that are not so familiar with Alternate Reality Games, we'll see how to draw one on your own in about 30 minutes - that time can get significantly lower if you've got help from a friend and draw the labyrinth often for training purposes.

As usual with Instructables, don't forget that I can't be held responsible for any damage that might occur to yourself - training for the Lost Sport is not very likely to result in maiming, massive bleeding and the likes unless you decide to play in the middle of traffic or on a railroad track. So, supposing you've found a safe place to train (in a street forbidden to cars, in the recess area of the school, wherever you have a hard surface for a ground and permission of the owner of the area), let's get started - to the next step, Batman !

*No, I'm not serious and I don't really believe all this. This is part of The Lost Ring, an alternate reality game that demands a minimum of suspension of disbelief ; if you're interested in the concept and don't really know where to start, try this site.

Step 1The equipment !

The equipment !
In order to draw a 3-circuits labyrinth, you're going to need a few simple, yet essential items :

- A big brick - I used a block of concrete the workers at the high-school where I teach left behind ;
- String ;
- Chalk - I used a whole box for 3 3-circuits labyrinths, including a failed attempt ;
- Patience, patience, patience - Don't rush things, skip steps, take your time to read directions again if you don't understand them fully ;
- Water and a broom to correct your mistakes, should you make any ;
- A flat area of tarmac/concrete/deserted parking lot - whatever is safe for you to train and is readily available.

Are you all set ? Then let's move on, so we can start make people wonder what the hell you're drawing on the ground.

Sorry for the double post, but --

On re-reading your 'ible, I've realized that we did something very similar to this to prototype a labyrinth my mom was using in one of her garden designs. We used this method. It worked out really well.

Nah, I haven't finished it yet. But now that I know someone's interested, I'll get back to work.

hmm i see, i think u should make it larger, more complicated, with walls, a ceiling (for all the cheaters out there), and of course to spin it all off a pack of hungry wolves to hunt him down if he doesn't make it out :D
