The “maze” environment was something I experienced in Bloomingdale’s in NY many years ago. (I don’t know if it’s still like this.) The decor was solid black, augmented with mirrors, and lots of confusing spaces, twists and turns. It was truly disorienting and a little scary, like being in a carnival funhouse.
