I agree a name change would be the best solution.  I would also note that
while localizers should try to clearly and accurately translate the author's
intended string, they owe a higher duty to the user to minimize confusion.
It would be possible to provide a Spanish name for Labyrinth that more
clearly represents the activity's function, even without the author's
correction.
