Just like "The Two Kings and the Two Labyrinths" by Borges, Life is a bigger hidden maze, a large scale "Escape The Room" setting.
It is also interesting to note the difference between labyrinths and mazes. While the progress of science resembles maze running, it is achieved by simple labyrinth-like principle: repeatable trial-n-error; on other hand, religion often starts with labyrinth-like truth statements, but approaching it's core it turns into paradoxical maze.
Is life labyrinth or maze?

(A maze is a complex branching (multicursal) puzzle that includes choices of path and direction, may have multiple entrances and exits, and dead ends. A labyrinth is unicursal i.e. has only a single, non-branching path, which leads to the center then back out the same way, with only one entry/exit point.
Some labyrinths have a spiritual significance. They signify the complex and long path to reach God.
Mazes are used in science experiments to study spatial awareness and (sometimes) intelligence.
