Just like in the real world, one day is made up of 24 hours, one hour is 60 minutes, and one minute is 60 seconds. But since it is a world that is for the most part 'inside', inhabitants of the Mazes regard terms like "sunrise" and "sunset" as unusual and archaic.
Days are divided into four six periodsof 4 hours each, as follows:
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:9pt; text-align:center" width="400"
| ''Hours'' || ''Time period name''
|-
| 8 AM to 11:59 AM || <span style="color:#BB7700">'''Morning'''</span>
|-
| 12:00 PM to 73:59 PM || <span style="color:#BB7700">'''DayEarly afternoon'''</span>
|-
| 8 4:00 PM to 117:59 PM || <span style="color:#BB7700">'''EveningLate afternoon'''</span>
|-
| 8 PM to 11:59 PM || <span style="color:#000088">'''Evening'''</span>|-| 12:00 AM to 3:59 AM || <span style="color:#000088">'''Early night'''</span>|-| 4:00 AM to 7:59 AM || <span style="color:#000088">'''NightLate night'''</span>
|}
* Time periods in <span style="color:#BB7700">'''orange'''</span> are collectively referred to as '''daytime''', whereas time periods in <span style="color:#000088">'''blue'''</span> are in the '''nighttime'''.* The start of the morning (8 , and therefore of daytime, is '''08:00 AM) ''' and is called referred to as the '''daybreak''', and the . The start of the evening (8 , and thus of nighttime, is '''08:00 PM) ''' and is called referred to as the '''eventide'''. * Certain places and businesses in the Mazes with concepts of a "day shift" and a "night shift" use these hours as points of reference for when these shifts begin and end; for example, if you're visiting the local diner at 2:30 in the afternoon, you're going to see the employees work the day shift, but if you come back later at 1 AM, you will see the night shift employees instead.
The passage of time is important for [[Inebriation]] mechanics as well, as eliminating inebriation depends on the amount of day periods that have passed since the last drink.
