About this tool
Navigate through randomly generated mazes to find the exit - with both keyboard and touch controls supported, offering a fresh layout every time you play rather than the same fixed maze repeatedly.
How to use this tool

How to play the maze game
Guide your marker from the start to the exit. Every game draws a brand-new random maze, so there is no route to memorise. Use the arrow keys on a keyboard, or swipe or use the on-screen pad on a phone. Easy, medium and hard change the size of the maze, and the dungeon, neon and garden themes change its look.
The classic trick is to keep one hand on the wall: follow the left (or right) wall all the way and you will always reach the exit of a maze like this, even if it is not the shortest path.

Frequently asked questions
Yes - mazes are randomly generated each round, so you get a fresh layout to navigate rather than memorizing a fixed path from a previous game.
Keyboard arrow keys on desktop, and touch controls (like swipe or on-screen buttons) on mobile devices, letting you play comfortably on either platform.
Check the game's specific options - many maze games let you choose a larger, more complex maze for a bigger challenge, or a smaller one for a quicker playthrough.
The wall-follower rule: keep one hand on a wall and follow it. In a maze without loops it always leads to the exit, though not by the shortest route.
Algorithms such as recursive backtracking carve paths through a grid, so every maze is different but still has a route from start to exit.
Yes. They build planning, problem-solving and spatial awareness, and a quick maze is a calm, screen-light activity.
Look ahead from the exit as well as from the start - working backwards from the goal often reveals the route quickly, especially in mazes with long dead ends.
Yes. Touch controls let you move through the maze by swiping or tapping, so it works on phones and tablets as well as with a keyboard.
