How to play
Move from the entrance in the upper-left to the starred exit in the lower-right. Walls block movement; open gaps connect neighboring cells.
Use arrow keys or WASD on a keyboard. On touch screens, swipe in the direction you want to travel. Your route remains visible so backtracking never erases what you learned.
These are perfect mazes: every cell is connected and exactly one path joins any two points. You can explore a dead end, but you can never become permanently trapped.
Strategy
Use deliberate backtracking. At every junction, choose a branch and remember the junction; if it ends, return to that exact point instead of changing direction midway.
The wall-follower technique—keep one hand on the same wall—will solve this style of maze, although it may take a long route. It is a dependable fallback when visual planning gets tangled.
Scan for long corridors before moving. A corridor that approaches the exit may still be a dead end, so prioritize branches that preserve more than one future direction.
Difficulty and variants
Easy mazes are compact and have a shorter solution path. Medium and hard boards add cells and longer false branches; they stay perfect, so there is still exactly one route to the goal.
Questions, answered
What is the easiest way to solve a maze?
At each junction, commit to one branch and backtrack fully if it ends. Keeping one hand on a continuous wall is slower but guaranteed for these mazes.
Are the online mazes different every time?
Yes. New puzzles use fresh seeds, while each daily maze uses the same UTC-date seed for every player.
Can I play the maze with WASD keys?
Yes. Both WASD and arrow keys move the marker, and touch devices can use swipes.
