* Shifting mazes are a standard feature of MUDs. It's common to navigate them by dropping markers in the rooms, though it's still tough to make it through before it shifts again. And if there are mobs that pick up items left lying around, then...

* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E5TheHornsOfNimon The Horns of Nimon]]", the alien Nimon demand sacrifices from the Skonnon Empire to provide for them. They use victims from the planet Aneth, who find that the walls seal behind them. (A TwiceToldTale based on the legend of Theseus and the Labyrinth.)

* In the ''DoctorWho'' episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E5TheHornsOfNimon The Horns of Nimon]]", the alien Nimon demand sacrifices from the Skonnon Empire to provide for them. They use victims from the planet Aneth, who find that the walls seal behind them. (A TwiceToldTale based on the legend of Theseus and the Labyrinth.)

* In TheCatReturns, the king of cats tries to trap Haru-chan by having her traverse a maze, and sending in cats holding fake walls to block the path. Unusually, the Baron is able to knock them unconscious and clear their path.

* Played to hilarious effect in the General White arc of Dragonball. Goku and Android 8 ("Ha-chan") must get through a maze to reach the Red Ribbon officer. The maze is completely normal, except for a single wall which can be toggled to block one of the two passages out. After running back and forth between the apparent dead-ends for a while, Goku and Android 8 finally decide to just split up and take both passages at once. [[SarcasmMode Top-notch security system there, General.]]

* The temple in ''Aliens Versus Predator''. It's designed as a challenging hunting ground for young Predators.

* An episode of the ''Batman Animated Series'' introduced The Riddler with a "Riddle of the Minotaur" video game and a real-life amusement park labyrinth based on it, with robotic monsters and moving walls.

* Played with in ''Ben 10 ultimate alien'' in that,instead of a maze,its a Three-dimensional cube called the perplexehedren(a security systems for a plot coupon) full of many death traps ,including guards .Bonus points for making the only way too the plot coupon involve setting off all the guards.

* The cemetery part in Left 4 dead 2 might count as well. it has different paths every time you play. This demonstrates the new power of the AI Director.

* In the ''DoctorWho'' episode "The Horns of Nimon", the alien Nimon demand sacrifices from the Skonnon Empire to provide for them. They use victims from the planet Aneth, who find that the walls seal behind them. (A TwiceToldTale based on the legend of Theseus and the Labyrinth.)

* The Hedge is a realm that lies between Arcadia and the "real world" in ''[[{{ptitlen4fcro73tb02}} Changeling: The Lost]]'', forming an ever-shifting hedge maze that keeps the captives of the True Fae from easily escaping back to Earth. It can be reached via portals that temporarily borrow real-world doorframes. The Hedge's thorns are capable of tearing away small pieces of a traveller's soul as they pass through, and terrible ravenous creatures called Briar Wolves dwell there, but it's still generally better to risk it than stay in Arcadia.

* Your very intestines. They have to be all folded up like that, because stretched out, the small intestine alone would be about 20' long in an adult (and not very efficient due to less surface area.)

* ''Dungeons and Dragons'' gives us "Neth, the Plane that Lives", a sentient dimension which resembles a ''Womb World'', complete with breathable pink fluid in its passages - and a habit of sealing randomly-selected visitors into bubbles filled with digestive fluid. It later spawns a copy of their head from the wall of its "brain" and talks with their voice along with dozens of previous victims'.

* The Maze on Minos in TerryPratchett's ''The Dark Side of the Sun''. It doesn't shift once formed, but everyone who goes in experiences a different maze pattern.

* A slightly more primitive version appears in ''[[{{Myst}} The Book of D'Ni]]''. A "maze game" exists which is composed of rooms that shift around. [[spoiler: It's powered by slave labor]]

* Done at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando for the 2001 event with the haunted maze "Run", which was placed in a maze of fencing that would, on occasion, change its paths to confuse repeat visitors.

* Highly malicious (we hope) non-sentient one in ''{{Cube}}'' and its sequels.

* The eponymous ''HouseOfLeaves''.

* {{PPC}} Headquarters sometimes seems to be one of these, though nobody's sure if it is. The only way to reliably find your way around in it is to pretend you're not looking for the place you need to be.

* In an episode of ''TheAvengers'', "The House That Jack Built", Mrs. Emma Peel gets trapped inside one of these created by a long time colleague.

TheMaze is the parent trope.

* In the OneEpisodeWOnder ''LostInOz'', Loriellidere's labyrinth is easy to get into, but when the heroes try to escape, the hallways shift and lead them straight back to the Witch.
