The act of identifying unknown objects is part of Mazeworld. Identification is required to tell apart items that look the same, but are in fact, different.

The following items may be identified:

How to identify items

A contestant cannot usually identify by himself/herself items.

  • Archaeologists can identify unknown gems.
  • Medics can identify unknown meds.
  • Hakutaku can identify unknown mushrooms.
  • Jewelers can identify unknown valuables.
  • Engineers can give percentile values of a firearm's condition and cleanliness, usually for free.
  • Scientists in the ST of Physics/Chemistry can identify multiple items; unknown gems, meds, and mushrooms.

Certain items may be found already identified. This is the case of items found in crates, for example.

Appraisal

Appraisal is the act of determining the value of an item. Gems, once identified, can be appraised for their accurate value by a jeweler. The purpose of appraisal is to ensure the actual value of any carried gems. Any shop that accepts identified gems as a means of payment can also appraise them ; and in turn, exchange them for money or credit.
