The Dungeons & Dragons Computer Labyrinth Game is an electronic board game released by Mattel in 1980. The board looks like a plastic castle with a touch-sensitive grid about the size of a chessboard, and a drawer beneath holds two metal warrior figures, a dragon, a treasure chest, wall pieces and a pair of secret-room markers. Each time play begins, the built-in computer randomly lays out an invisible labyrinth of 50 walls hiding the treasure and the dragon. Players move their warriors square by square and learn where the walls are only from electronic sounds. A warning tone tells them when the sleeping dragon wakes, and a warrior dies after three dragon attacks. The game can be played by one or two players; in the two-player game the warriors can also attack each other. The goal is to find the treasure and carry it back to your own secret room. A 1980s White Dwarf review judged it light fun best suited to the young.
