house of mirrors
Distorting glass labyrinth
A house of mirrors is a maze-like attraction at carnivals and amusement parks where walls are made of mirrors, some flat and some curved to distort reflections—stretching, squashing, or multiplying the viewer's image.
Figuratively, it describes any situation where reality is difficult to perceive clearly, where illusions and distortions make the truth hard to find: Trying to trace the company's ownership was a house of mirrors.
