Puzzle MazesPuzzle Mazes add other rules to mazes beyond the restriction of walls. A puzzle maze may restrict turns or require passing over colors in a sequence. Dave has designed these special mazes for over forty years and they can be surprisingly challenging.
Walk-on puzzle mazes can cover ten feet on a side, to over forty feet. They can be permanent or temporary. They are installed using snap-together tiles, painted directly on permanent surfaces, or on temporary surfaces such as plywood. They can be flat or dimensional. A puzzle maze can stand alone or be part of a larger exhibit. Puzzle mazes can also be enjoyed as finger mazes on table tops or as colorful murals. |
