Puzzle guide

About dog and bone mazes

What they are

Dog and Bone mazes follow a playful puppy digging its way to a buried bone. Twelve mazes progress from short, wide-cornered grids to a large hard maze full of decoy tunnels, so the puppy has plenty of digging to do.

How to play

Draw a path from the puppy at Start to the bone at Finish through the open corridors. On screen you can guide the puppy with arrow keys or by dragging.

Tips

Pretend each corridor is a tunnel the puppy is digging; dead ends are where it hit a rock. Children who enjoy that story often slow down and plan instead of scribbling.

Who they suit

Puppy mazes are a hit with dog-loving children aged three to eight, pet-themed classroom weeks and families waiting for a vet appointment or a long car journey to end.

Printing

Print one per page with the Kids version for the biggest puppy picture, or two per page for older solvers. Every maze has a solution page.
