Large Print Mazes
Just one path leads to the exit
The entrance is on the top edge, the exit on the bottom edge — the book’s engine places them at any column, never in a corner. Two ways to move, as you like — and nothing forces you to pick one: they work together.
Three mazes to explore
The entrance is on the top edge, the exit on the bottom edge — both are circled in gold.
How to play
One game, several ways to move. The arrow keys — or a click on a neighboring square — take you along the whole corridor at once, to the next junction: that is what the eye does on paper.
To draw square by square, as with a pencil: press and hold your finger or the mouse button on the square you are on, and the path follows you. Or click once on that square: tracking locks, the path follows you without your having to hold anything, and a second click releases it. The grid is framed in gold while tracking is locked.
Backspace retraces your steps.
What every maze guarantees
- A single path connects the entrance to the exit — no possible detour, no hidden shortcut. Counted, not assumed: we list the routes and stop as soon as a second one appears.
- No unreachable square: every part of the maze is in play.
- The path length is measured and shown on each button — 176, 239 and 422 squares for grids of 19 × 19, 25 × 25 and 33 × 33. The path length, not the grid size, is what sets how long it takes.
- The longest corridor without a branch is measured: 34 squares across these three mazes. One press of an arrow key runs along the corridor to the next junction; that is what makes moving quick, and it is the figure we keep an eye on — not a round-number promise.
Playable without seeing the grid
A maze does not lend itself well to a screen reader: it has no numbered squares and no reading order, and a grid read square by square says nothing about the path. Moving from junction to junction makes it workable: at each stop, the page announces where you are and where you can go, and you choose.
That is what justifies putting a maze on a screen: not imitating paper, but doing what paper cannot do.
