Puzzle guide
About medium extra large mazes
What they are
Medium extra-large mazes fill a 40 × 40 grid with a winding route and a healthy number of branches. They are a long, engaging puzzle where planning ahead matters, and they typically take thirty to forty-five minutes.
How to play
Trace from Start to Finish, backing up from dead ends to the last fork. Pencil works best, because you will want to rub out the odd false start on a grid of sixteen hundred cells.
Tips
Divide the page into four quarters and work out how the route crosses from one quarter to the next. Solving each crossing point first gives you a skeleton of the path to fill in.
Who they suit
These suit teenagers and adults, puzzle lovers who want an afternoon project and anyone looking for a screen-free way to unwind after a busy week.
Printing
Print one per page on standard paper, or download the PDF and print larger. A fine-tipped pen helps in the narrower corridors.
