Google Turns Their Maps Into a 3D Maze Game To Promote Google+

Social gaming was a big part of Facebook's success, so in a continued effort to get more people using Google+, the search giant has created a promo video for an upcoming game that turns their maps into a playable labyrinth.

I actually adore these types of maze games, and they're particularly fun on motion sensitive devices like the iPhone. But they usually have you directing a small ball towards an ultimate goal. The only objective I can see here is fulfilling Google's desire to boost Google+'s user-base. So in the end the only real winner is Google itself as it attempts to play catchup to Facebook. That still sounds fun right? [Google Maps via Mashable]
