I'm trying to figure out how to say it works itself through (a maze)

Welcome ljh :)

Like as in an animal works its way through a maze?

I'd say if the person/animal hasn't entered the maze yet:

Va a cruzar el laberinto.
He's going to work his way through the maze.

Or if he's already in the maze

Está tratando de salir del laberinto.
He's trying to get out of the maze.

Does that help?

Ah, laberinto = labyrinth Cool stuff!
