Two of the harder mazes, “Theseus and the Minotaur” and the “Changing-Rule Number Maze,” have been turned into computer programs and can be found on this site.The maze shown below is a better example of what’s in Mad Mazes because (1) it’s only moderately difficult and (2) no one has EASY 5 - LOGIC MAZES Easy Maze 5: This is a “Number Maze,” and it is interactive.

WRITTEN BY ROBERT ABBOTT The following are pointers to everything that is on this site.FIVE EASY MAZES :
Most of the mazes on this site are pretty complicated—so, here are some easy mazes you might want to try. You can start with Easy Maze 1 and then follow the pointers to the other mazes, or you can go directly to Easy Maze 2 , 3, 4 , or 5 .
EYEBALL MAZES :
There are 12 interactive mazes here. They use a simple concept—you travel to a square that has either the same symbol or the same color as the square you just left—but there are added complications and some of the mazes are very tricky. These mazes are currently being used as a contest by the Catalan Culture Ministry. See the note at the end of the instructions.ALICE MAZES :
This is a series of twenty interactive mazes that I created and programmed in JavaScript. These are called “Alice” mazes because they recall the scene in _ALICE IN WONDERLAND_ where Alice eats a piece of cake with the sign “Eat Me” and grows larger, then she drinks from a bottle marked “Drink Me” and becomes smaller. These mazes won’t make you larger or smaller, but the distance you travel in a move will getlarger or smaller.
SLIDING DOOR MAZE :
This is programmed in Java by Oriel Maximé and is based on a maze from my book _SUPERMAZES_ . It is very difficult. There is only a single layout, mostly because I haven’t been able to design a second layout (creating that first layout was hard enough). But at the bottom of the Sliding Door page, I refer to a series ofsimilar mazes by
Jorge Best. There are twelve layouts in that series.TILT MAZES :
These are four mazes by Andrea Gilbert. You will be able to try both a non-interactive version and an interactive Java version of each maze. (And I try to explain why anyone would want both a non-interactive version and an interactive version of a maze.) There is also news about a walk-through version.NUMBER MAZES :
These are the first programs I wrote in JavaScript, and the mazes have been on this site since time immemorial (that is, 1999). There is a small 5x5 number maze (it’s a recent addition that is part of the “Five Easy Mazes” section), there is a 6x6 maze that is still fairly easy, and there is a fairly difficult 7x7 maze . There is also the quite difficult, but interesting, Changing-Rule Number Maze and the way-too-difficult No-U-Turn Number Maze . Someday I should add a solution to that last maze.THINGS THAT ROLL :
Another interesting part of this web site is a collection of rolling-block mazes . For the most part, these mazes are _NOT_ interactive. Instead, you’re asked to print the maze, tape some dice together to form a weirdly-shaped block, then roll the block across the maze. The mazes were created by many different people in the kind of collaborative effort that could only happen on theInternet.
I also have a collection of rolling-cube mazes . These involve rolling a single die across a page. They were predecessors to the rolling-block mazes. THE BUREAUCRATIC MAZE : I call this a maze, but it could also be called a piece of performance art. Once it gets started, there can be about 30 people carrying forms between bureaucrats seated at five different desks. The forms give you a limited choice about which desks to go to, and if you make the right choices, you’ll reach the goal (though at the beginning you don’t even know what the goal is). Here is my write-upof the maze.
This maze has been tried a few times by me and other people. Wei-Hwa Huang ran a variation that he disguised as a registration process. The participants did not even know they were in a maze (at least, not at first). Eric Shamblen turned a variation of the maze into an on-line program that you can play on your own. The Bureaucratic Maze may (or may not) appear again at some time in the future.STARRY NIGHT MAZE
:
This is a maze of mine that appeared on the cover of GAMES magazine—the issue of December, 2006. It’s a little like the Eyeball Mazes, but with hexagons instead of rectangles. It is, however, an advance for me because for the first time I was able to use real art in a maze. What I had submitted to GAMES was an abstract maze drawn on a grid of hexagons. Jim Malloy, the magazine’s art director, came up with a theme for the maze and he created the art for the cover. I then programmed an interactive version of the maze and I incorporated Malloy’s art. It looks quite good. And not only that, if you solve the maze, the program has a winning display where all the stars twinkle. I can stare at that for hours (well maybe at least twominutes).
My interactive version is on the GAMES site, at this location.
THESEUS AND THE MINOTAUR : There are now three ways to play these mazes. The first is a modification of Toby Nelson’s original Java applet, which you can play on the Theseus page of this site. The applet has three training levels to help explain the mazes, then seven fairly tricky levels. It should take you about a week to get through those seven levels, and they provide a good introduction to the game. Second, there is the Kristanixdownload. This has
87 large-screen levels for computers. Its price is $9.95, but you can download the entire game for free, then play it for a while before you decide whether to buy it. Third, there is the version for the iPhone and the iPod Touch.
It has the same 87 levels and only costs $3.99. There is also a free version, Theseus Lite,
that has a sampling of levels from the full version. The Theseus page has more about the three ways of playing these mazes. It also has a long history of the mazes, which goes back to my original print version in 1990. There is also a discussion of Toby Nelson’s layout-generating program, and there is an amusing updating of the Theseus myth. A BOOKLET YOU CAN ORDER FROM ME : My mail-order page is at this address . There used to be more here, but now everything is sold out, except for my booklet Auction 2002 and Eleusis . Auction is the latest revision of an old card game of mine, and it was presented in _GAMES_ magazine (in the issue dated April, 2002).LINKS :
