How to solve a maze
- Start at the green arrow and find your way to the orange arrow at the other corner.
- Follow the white paths. You may not cross a black line.
- Hit a dead end? Go back to the last place where the path split and try the other way.
- Stuck on a hard maze? Try working backwards from the finish, then meet in the middle.
Which level should I choose?
| Level | Size | Good for | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 10 × 12 squares | Ages 4–7 | 2–5 min |
| Medium | 16 × 20 squares | Ages 6–10 | 5–10 min |
| Hard | 24 × 30 squares | Ages 9 to adult | 10–20 min |
The easy mazes have wide paths that leave room for a crayon or a thick pencil. The hard mazes fill the page with long, winding routes and many dead ends, enough to keep an older child or an adult busy for a while.
For teachers and parents
Mazes are a quiet activity for an early finisher, a rainy-day indoor break or a long car ride. Younger children practice holding a pencil and staying between the lines, and older ones learn to plan a few steps ahead. Print a pack of five and keep it in a folder, or press New maze to print as many different mazes as you need.
One way through
Every maze here has exactly one route from start to finish, with no loops, and every part of the maze can be reached. Our tests check this for every maze we publish. More about our checks: how we make and check our puzzles.
Questions
Are these mazes free to print?
Yes. Print as many as you like for home, classroom and group use. No sign-up.
Can kids solve the mazes on a tablet?
Yes. Drag a finger from the green arrow along the paths. The line stops at walls, so it is easy to see where to turn back.
Where are the answers?
The ready-made packs have the answers at the end. When you print a single maze with Print this maze, the answer is on the second page. On screen, tick Show the solution.
What age are easy mazes for?
Easy mazes suit most children from about age 4 with a little help, and from about 5 on their own. Medium mazes are a good next step around age 6 or 7.
