This study aims to develop a Maze Labyrinth game media as a practical tool to foster students’ social cooperation skills through group guidance services. The main innovation of this medium lies in its collaborative design mechanism, which requires four students to hold four distinct edges of a physical board to simultaneously coordinate movement, integrated with post-game reflection cards to stimulate debriefing discussions. The development was based on a needs analysis indicating that students’ social cooperation skills required development, evidenced by limited group participation, minimal appreciation of peers' opinions, and difficulty completing group tasks collaboratively. Additionally, existing group guidance media remained limited and lecture-heavy. This Research and Development (R&D) study used the Four-D (4D) model, limited to the Develop stage, and involved eight Seventh-Grade students, one guidance and counseling teacher, one material expert, and one media expert at SMPN 36 Medan. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires, and were analyzed using descriptive qualitative and quantitative approaches. The results showed that the Maze Labyrinth media obtained a score of 75.0% (Feasible) from both material and media experts. Furthermore, practicality assessments yielded 85.29% (Highly Practical) from the guidance and counseling teacher and 69.47% (Practical) from students. These findings confirm the media's structural feasibility and practical user acceptance for counseling services; however, this development study evaluates media feasibility rather than empirical gains in students' actual social cooperation skills. Therefore, the Maze Labyrinth media is feasible and practical as a supporting medium for group guidance, while its actual effectiveness should be empirically examined in future research.
