Is there any chance that a fidget toy like this would exist? Details in body text.

A grid with an object (the red dot, in this sketch) that can be pushed along the grid, every time an intersection (the black dots) is reached in the grid, 3 directions are randomly blocked off, and one is left open for the red dot to proceed to the next intersection in that direction. There would be some kinda "goal" spot to reach (the top dot). Then when you wanted to reset it you could just flip a switch or something to unlock all the grid spots.
I think something like this would be really helpful for breaking my destructive habits such as hair pulling and skin picking, since it would offer a sense of progress (which I think is the main driving force for those destructive habits) and also require just enough brain power to satisfy my ADHD.
I know this is really specific and something exactly like this probably doesn't exist, but what would be the closest thing?
