I used to love doing paper mazes, but now they just strain my eyes and annoy me. I've been to a large number of hedge and corn mazes though and love em. The biggest in the world in england was great, took about 2 hours to solve, and then I decided to just wander it a bit more to find other places in it.

To make a good hedge maze it has to have 3D elements to it, otherwise you can use a simple left hand rule and solve it.

edit:
it was the largest when I was there years and years ago, probably a bigger one now, I'll track down the name of it.

edit2: I'm fairly certain it's the one in the OP's picture, I remember the tower overlooking the spiral, and the way those bridges are constructed.

here is another one:

How sweet would this one be in real life, I'm guessing they'd need hotels along the way :D

I'm not sure this is the same one, but a similar one was posted on reddit a while back, and in the thread I learned the "MSPaint trick" which works on any image where the maze walls are just one color and the maze is simply connected (no loops).

Thanks. I'm kind of trying to find a way to make some money off this maze thing I have going. I did do a guy's CD art but he's only paying me with the CD

So I hope it's good.

I never realized how difficult it is to make a maze compared to how easy it is to solve one. I attempted my first maze creation. Let me know what you think!

Though it was pretty fun to solve.

Nice. I recommend drawing with pencil and paper because drawing mazes with a mouse is kind of infuriating.

Just a very quick maze I drew (ran out of room

). I've always loved to draw mazes, and would usually decorate my test papers with them if I finished early :p

Some really cool ones in here!

edit: lol it's so easy xD

Also, I used to draw mazes like the one in the OP, with curves- but I decided that straight lines were cooler :p

edit2: alright, gonna spend tonight making a decent one!!

I hope I didn't fuck anything up when I was inking it :/

It will be hard to solve from just a picture, maybe I can scan it tomorrow...

I live in Iowa, but for whatever reason, have never been to a corn maze except once when I was like 6.
Needless to say, all I did was go on a hayrack ride. I am disappoint.

EDIT: Done some bitchin' mazes in Minecraft though. Glass mazes are hard, and one-way doors are just rude. No left-hand rule.

Yeah, I just think that a wall-sized maze pattern would look sweet, especially if as a bonus it were solvable and not just a neat pattern. You'd have to figure out a way to make the lines all nice and uniform, though. I imagine it would a true pain in the ass to actually execute.

I live in Iowa as well!! You really should do a corn maze! I'm pretty sure you can't be considered an official Iowan until you've done a corn maze lol. Around the Des Moines area the outlying suburbs have quite a few.

Crazy stuff! I wrote one of my A-Level tests today and just wanted to clear my mind with some stuff so I printed out this maze, and somehow got it on the first try (it had some rather clear passages, it mysteriously worked without a mistake) - and then this picture appeared! Very nice one

Wow, that is intense. We had to do these in one of my classes, one of the students claimed to have a 150 IQ and was a pro at these... He said he didn't have any more experience or interest in mazes than the rest of us but he did them extremely quickly.
