pachinko 

verb
to negotiate through a field of scattered obstacles because there isn’t a direct pathway through

This is derived from the Japanese vertical pinball game called “pachinko”, in which the tiny steel balls have to randomly bounce and weave their way through a scattered field of little immovable pins.
“Did you ever notice how in a tourist trap there is no direct pathway to the only bathroom? You have to pachinko through a junk shop littered with display stands filled with rubber tomahawks, pecan logs and Mexican jumping beans.”
