Maze Game: Solve Random Mazes Online
Find your way out in this free maze game. Every maze is made at random the moment you press New maze, so there is always a fresh puzzle, from a quick 8 by 8 for young kids to a huge 32 by 32 challenge. Move with the arrow keys, by swiping on a phone, or with the on-screen buttons, and race the clock to the flag.
Quick answer: Move the orange dot from the top-left corner to the flag in the bottom-right corner. Use the arrow keys (or W, A, S, D), swipe on a touch screen, or tap the arrow buttons. With “Slide along corridors” on, the dot keeps moving until it reaches a turn. Squares you have visited are shaded blue. Press Show the way out if you get lost.
How to play the maze game
- Choose a size. Easy suits young children; huge mazes can take several minutes.
- Start moving. The timer begins with your first move.
- Find the path to the flag. There is exactly one route between any two points, so there are no loops to get stuck in.
- When you finish, you see your time, your moves and the length of the shortest route.
Maze solving strategies
- Wall follower: keep one hand on the same wall (always turn right when you can). In these mazes it always leads to the exit.
- Work backwards: look at the area around the flag first and trace the route back toward the start.
- Skip dead ends: a short corridor that ends in a wall is never part of the route.
- Use the shading: blue squares show where you have been, so you never search the same branch twice.
