In \citeentombed, John Aycock and Tara Copplestone pose an open question, namely the explanation of the mysterious lookup table used in the Entombed Game's Algorithm for two dimensional maze generation. The question attracted media attention (BBC etc) and was open until today. This paper answers this question, explains the algorithm and even extends it to three dimensions.
