Maze
Every maze is new and has exactly one route from the green start in the top left to the red exit in the bottom right. Pick a simple 10 x 10 maze for a quick game or a 100 x 100 labyrinth for a long one. Race the clock, or walk through the fog where you only see the cells around you. Find the way from the green start to the red exit. Move with the arrow keys, WASD, a swipe or the on-screen pad.
How it works
- Choose a size with the presets or the slider, and a mode: Classic, Against the clock or Fog.
- Move with the arrow keys or WASD, swipe on a phone, or use the on-screen pad. Hold a key to keep walking. The timer starts with your first move.
- Reach the red exit. Stuck? Press Hint, or H, to light up the next part of the way, at a cost of 10 seconds.
Modes
Classic has no time limit. Against the clock gives you a time limit that grows with the size of the maze; when it runs out the game is over. In Fog you only see the cells near you, and the parts you have explored stay dimly visible.
Trail and hints
Your trail shows the way you came. When you walk back, the cells you leave fade to a lighter tone, so dead ends are easy to spot. A wall you bump into flashes red. Hints have a short cooldown, add 10 seconds and are counted on the result screen.
Generators, camera and themes
Mazes are grown with a recursive backtracker, which makes long winding corridors, or with Prim's algorithm, which makes many short branches. The camera can show the whole maze or zoom in and follow you. Choose a Light, Dark or Arcade theme.
Frequently asked questions
Does every maze have a solution?
Yes. Every maze is a perfect maze: there is exactly one route between any two cells, so the exit can always be reached.
