General
Gameplay
The map is a teleport maze that uses both teleports and ladders to move between floors. Teleport rooms have a button on a colored block the player presses to move up or down. If the block is concrete, the player moves up, and, if the block is concrete powder, the player moves down. How much the player moves up or down is determined by the block's color, which uses the same colors as the server's color system for difficulty. White moves the player 2 layers, blue moves the player 3 layers, and so on to black moving the player 8 layers.
The player is told at the beginning that there are 14 layers, and that they start on the bottom layer. The player must find the end to beat the map.
Aesthetics
Each layer of Enigma has a different aesthetic.
- Layer 1 and the starting room use a lot of wood, with oak planks, spruce planks, fire, and crafting tables.
- Layer 2 uses a spooky catacomb design with stone brick walls and overgrowth with jack o' lanterns, mycelium, mushrooms, and dark oak.
- Layer 3 is a library area filled with bookshelves, paintings, utility blocks, and red carpets.
- Layer 4 looks like a desert with orange blocks, cactus, frequent furnaces, and dead plants.
- Layer 5 is stylized as a zen garden with bamboo, watermelon-style intersections, daylight sensors, and fruit heads.
- Layer 6 is sweets based with cakes, a chocolate floor, and dessert heads.
- Layer 7 mainly uses purple and black blocks with crying obsidian, blackstone, coal blocks, and crimson fences.
- Layer 8 is nether based with lots of lava, nether brick blocks, magma, and crimson hyphae.
- Layer 9 uses beige and gray colors with birch, endstone, sandstone, and beacons.
- Layer 10 is aquatic themed, with a large amount of light blue and cyan blocks. Some walls are also green.
- Layer 11 is an icy cave with snow, ice blocks, stones, diamond ore, and end rods.
- Layer 12 has lots of orange and yellow blocks, using honey, honeycomb, stripped birch wood, orange terracotta, and more.
- Layer 13 is valentine based with heart-shaped hallways and lots of red, pink, and magenta.
- Layer 14 is mostly monochrome with bedrock, bone blocks, basalt, blackstone, and sea lanterns.

Trivia
- The map is large enough that even the FFA+ box message, "Luck and guessing will only get you so far in this 14 layer teleport maze...", hints at the player needing to map the maze.
