Maze (PuzzleMadness)
Guide your avatar through the day's maze to the flag.
Every day: A new dated Maze puzzle every day, the same for every player, one for each size (Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large and Mixed); completed puzzles score on monthly and all-time leaderboards and past days stay in the archive. New puzzle: Once a day (the site does not state the time).
PuzzleMadness posts a new Maze puzzle every day, the same grid for every player, at several sizes. Move your character up, down, left or right through the corridors, never through walls or diagonally, until you reach the flag. Finished puzzles score points on the site's monthly and all-time leaderboards.
About Maze (PuzzleMadness)
PuzzleMadness's Maze is a classic maze with a character to steer. You start at one point and must reach the flag, moving only along corridors, horizontally or vertically. When you pick a direction, the avatar keeps running along the corridor until it reaches the next junction, where you choose again. The extra large mazes are big enough to take a while.
The daily page opens today's puzzle on its own, and its title carries the date (on 3 October 2026 it read "Daily Medium Maze Puzzle for Saturday 3rd October 2026"). There is a separate dated puzzle for each size: Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large and Mixed. Past days stay in the archive, so a missed puzzle can be played later, and there is a print version and an image download of the grid. PuzzleMadness does not publish solutions: the site tells you when you have finished a grid correctly or made a mistake. Each completed puzzle adds to your total on the Maze monthly and all-time leaderboards, where only your best score on any one puzzle counts.
There is no logic to deduce here, only route finding, and you do not learn you went wrong until you hit a dead end or reach the end. Tracing back from the flag toward the start can be quicker than starting at your avatar. It suits younger players and anyone who wants a lighter daily puzzle than the site's number grids.
PuzzleMadness is a British puzzle site with dozens of daily puzzle types in the browser, from many sudoku variants to logic grids such as Nurikabe, Hashi and Slitherlink. It is free to play and carries ads. A free account keeps track of the puzzles you have finished and puts your name on the leaderboards, and the badges next to usernames mark how many puzzles a player has completed.
