About the Maze
You control the colored dot, which starts in the top left corner. Your goal is the flag in the bottom right corner. Move through the open passages using the arrow keys on a keyboard, by swiping on a touch screen, or with the arrow buttons below the maze. Walls block your way, and there are dead ends to fool you, so look ahead and plan your route. Reach the flag to solve the maze.
Tips for kids
One classic trick is to keep one hand on the wall, always following the wall on the same side, and you will eventually reach the end. Look for the open paths rather than the walls. If you hit a dead end, do not worry, just back up and try a different way. Bigger mazes take more patience.
Why it is good for kids
Mazes build planning, patience and spatial awareness as children picture routes and think ahead. They are calm and satisfying, and finishing one gives a lovely sense of achievement.
