Labyrinth pencil-and-paper game - who remember it?

Are there anyone who have played such a game, probably, at school/university lessons - there is one "game master" who draws secret maze with "rivers", shifting player when one gets into, "pits" which act like teleports etc - while others trying to investigate the maze blindly and optionally to kill each other or bring out the buried treasure.
I'm trying to figure out origins of these game - so if you remember it, please, tell where/whom you learnt it from.
Wikipedia suggests it is endemic to Soviet era but I'm unsure...
