Think of each free-standing section of wall as a node in a graph. The graph's edges connect free-standing wall sections which are adjacent. The task is to find (and circumnavigate) all the graph's nodes.
Yes, it could be very tedious to search this alternative representation of the maze for the exit node. Far more likely not - the description was "maybe 150 foot square", not "multi-acre corn maze".
*Assuming a two-dimensional maze, a finite number of free-standing wall sections, flat spacetime, and non-zero lower bound on the width of the maze's paths.
I guess "professional" mazes may have sprinkler systems. Still, it seems that even in buildings that do, a lot of value is put into maintaining escape routes.
As an organizer, I'd be much more concerned about medical emergencies and inter-personal crime in the maze.
