Design a maze with twists and turns, decisions and dead ends!
It can be as simple or as difficult as you like.
What’s your style?
Many maze designs use a strong style. Some are wavy and curvy, and full of spirals and swirls. Some are full of straight lines and sharp corners. Some even make a picture when you see them from above.

Is a Maze the same as a Labyrinth?
No!
A maze is a “multicursal” puzzle. A maze has lots of different ways to go and choices to make. It’s easy to get lost in a maze but there are often shortcuts.
A labyrinth is “unicursal”. A labyrinth has just one path that you may feel is taking you in all different directions but will eventually lead you to the centre. A labyrinth may take you a long time but if you follow the path you can’t get lost.
