Maze Run
Find your way from the top-left corner to the flag through a freshly generated maze. The daily maze is the same for everyone, so you can compare your steps.
How to play
- You start in the top-left corner and the flag is in the bottom-right corner.
- Move with the arrow keys, WASD or the on-screen arrow buttons. Walls block the way.
- Squares you have visited are shaded so you can see which dead ends you have already tried.
- Reach the flag to finish. The page shows your steps next to the shortest possible route.
Tips and strategy
- Every maze here has exactly one route, so any dead end means you must turn back.
- Work from both ends in your head. If the flag looks boxed in, check which side its only opening faces.
- Follow one wall with your hand and you will always get out, though not always by the shortest way.
- Restart clears your steps, which is handy if you wandered into a long loop of dead ends.
FAQ
- Is the daily maze the same for everyone?
- Yes. It is built from the date in UTC, so every player gets the same maze and a new one appears at 00:00 UTC.
- Can there be more than one route?
- No. The mazes have no loops, so there is a single route and the shortest steps count is that route's length.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes. Use the arrow buttons under the maze.
