Multimedia encyclopedia which included a trivia game, MindMaze, in every edition of until Encarta 2007. Early versions have MindMaze as a direct link in the main menu, while later versions hide it behind a Ctrl+Z shortcut. In MindMaze, the player navigates through several floors with 100 rooms each in a 10x10 grid, moving through rooms by answering multiple-choice trivia questions on a timer. Answering a question wrong twice in a row resets the question. In each room is a character that will talk to the player, and there are paintings on the walls which lead to articles within Encarta. There are four difficulty levels, and nine trivia categories for selection. When answering a question, an article link is next to each potential answer.

Encarta is an encyclopedia with encyclopaedical knowledge contained within. A player may read this knowledge through use of eye orbs in order to glance upon the knowledge contained therein. It came on compact discs which could be shoved into slots on a personal computer in order to install the encyclopic program Encarta which contains volumes on knowledge previously only available through door to door salesman via currency. Though graphic in descriptionalism, the combat could use some work as it so far only allows the player to view itself through use of the mind brain theater, a cranioscopy of imminent magnitude yet lacking in viscerality or feed back. Still, the shoving of a disc into slots does provide some catharsis despite the encyclopediac compilation of human failures that exist wherewithin this 2-dimensional sphere of Encartaic knowledge.
