About easy medium mazes
What they are
Easy medium mazes stretch to 20 × 20 but keep the route relaxed and the dead ends few. The extra space makes the sheet look impressive while the long, flowing corridors keep the solving smooth, which is a great confidence boost.
How to play
Trace from the entrance to the exit through open corridors, on paper or on screen with arrow keys. Easy mazes reward simply keeping going; the route seldom asks you to turn back on yourself.
Tips
Point out that the path rarely doubles back on itself in an easy maze; if a corridor heads sharply away from Finish for a long way, it is often worth checking the other branch first.
Who they suit
These mazes work for children aged five to eight, family colouring-and-puzzle tables and classroom transitions where you need something calm and achievable. Grown-ups find them pleasantly mindful.
Printing
One per page gives the clearest corridors; two per page still prints neatly. Add colour by asking children to decorate the route once they have found it.
