'Cube' gamemode suggestion

I pitch a suggestion for using the Cube gamemode on another server, it is based on the 'Cube' series of sci-fi horror movies. About a group of innocent(?) people imprisoned in a giant rubiks cube like structure/maze, and they have to try and escape while at the same time avoiding some rooms armed with lethal booby traps or die trying.
The gamemode and all it's associated files (map, lua scripts, sweps, etc...) comes as an addon package but it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to copy the related gamemode files into their respective folders at the root of the garrysmod folder (sounds, materials, gamemodes, maps, etc... you get the picture) in order for it to function correctly.
The only problem I have notice is that it conflicts with sui_scoreboard (press tab, it gets stuck on the screen). I know this from experience as myself, ToxiN and Ocfos have been playtesting it out quite a lot on my own private dedicated server. Once installed, players spawn in at random locations, have to use their wits and boots (yes, boots) to test the rooms for traps in order to escape, they can not noclip and use their toolgun. A large outdoor area awaits their escape, present with a cabin containing a trapdoor back into the maze.
Please consider it.
Warning: One of the room contains a trap that spawns several invincible manhacks. Also, if you continue to go in a straight line through the rooms, the rooms will infinitely loop over all except on one axis.

The old server #1 had that gamemode before your time on Aprilon. Cube isn't really a fun gamemode anymore, when you've completed it perhaps 3 times, it's not fun anymore.

I'll have to agree with Karl on this one
