About this maze
Medium mazes use a growing-tree algorithm that mixes winding corridors with branching, so there are about twice as many dead ends as in an easy maze. The route is measured and must be clearly longer than an easy one. More to try: easy mazes for kids, hard mazes for adults and maze worksheets, or browse the printable maze page.
