EM4 Electric Maze®

The EM3 version of the Electric Maze® was withdrawn from sale in May 2023 due to problems with availability of critical materials and supplier price increases. 
The new EM4 design process started in 2022, and was completed following the final phase of live customer testing in Q3 2025. 

The prototype image shown was taken in November 2023, shortly before the first prototype units were tested and a short run of production versions were ordered for customer field-testing. Initial prototype field testing was completed in December 2024. Following this feedback, a further round of product updates were included ahead of final prototype testing in July 2025.
All the spots available for field testing have been filled and this project was completed in July 2025.

Following that phase we invested in an early small production stock of the EM4 for limited pre-sales list for this new product in September 2025, and these units have now all been sold.

We expect to have stock available from the UK manufacturing site without pre-order in Q2 2026.

The Electric Maze (originally developed by Boyd Watkins at Interel, and now part of RSVP Design) is an innovative, electronically programmable experiential learning activity that challenges teams to find a successful path without triggering a pressure sensitive alarm.
Easily adaptable and programmable, Electric Maze is a team problem solving activity for change management and business process improvement. A wide range of team exercises can be used with this activity including developing a variety of soft skills essential to any organisation's success.

The Electric Maze is a highly motivating learning device that consists of a grid and a control module. The grid is an interconnected set of 12 flexible panels that is marked into 48 squares. Each square can be activated independently using a pressure-sensitive switch, and the free-to-download Smartphone App (iOS or Android). If the square is activated, and if someone steps on it, the maze alarm sounds (and the control box warning light flashes). You can activate and deactivate any square on the maze with the control App.

The Electric Maze, and other learning devices originally produced by Interel can be thought of as learning hardware. Using a computer analogy, the maze can be programmed with 'learning software' for different learning applications. The facilitator manual explains how to install, program, and take down the hardware, and it provides 'learning software' for a variety of learning applications.

The hardware itself is easily programmable, using a smartphone to set-up and change the activated squares on the grid. The smartphone app can also record data from the learning event. 

Set-up can be done within 10 minutes and the App will troubleshoot and confirm the EM4 maze is ready for use.
