How to play

Learn Maze in a minute

Maze drops you at the start of a labyrinth and asks one thing: find the way out. Each swipe sends you along a corridor, round its bends, to the next place where you have a choice. Easy to start, tricky to finish, and free and ad-free in your browser.

1
Swipe, or press an arrow key or WASD. You run along the corridor and stop at the next junction or dead end.
2
Choose a way at each junction. Your route from the start is drawn in orange, and paths you backed out of fade.
3
Reach the green exit to solve the level, then take on the next, bigger one.

Rules

Game rules

A few simple rules govern every maze, from how you move to how you clear a level.

  • Objective: Get from the start, marked with an arrow, to the green exit
  • Movement: A move runs along the corridor until the next junction, dead end or the exit, so you never skip a choice
  • Levels: 20 levels each on easy, medium and hard, from 8 by 8 up to 22 by 22
  • Progress: Solving a level opens the next one, and you can replay any level you have opened
  • Records: Your best time and fewest steps are kept for every level; a run where you used a hint does not set them
Strategy

Tips and strategies

A few reliable habits help you escape faster, especially as the grids grow larger.

  • Work backwards: Trace a little way in from the exit first. Knowing where the last corridor comes from tells you which side of the maze to head for.
  • Read the trail: The strong orange line is your way back to the start. Faint lines are dead ends you have already tried, so skip those branches.
  • Follow a wall: Keeping one hand on a wall works in mazes without loops, but larger levels here have a few, so watch for coming back to a place you know.
  • Chain your turns: On a phone, one drag can turn several corners: swipe, then bend your finger the next way without lifting it.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the things players ask most about Maze.

How many levels are there?

There are 60: 20 on easy, 20 on medium and 20 on hard. Mazes start at 8 by 8 on easy and grow up to 22 by 22 on hard.

Is my progress saved?

Yes, in your browser. A maze you leave halfway is still there when you come back, with your trail, and the levels you have solved stay open to replay.

What does a hint do?

It lights up the way on from where you stand, as far as the next couple of junctions. The level still counts as solved, but that run does not set a best time or fewest steps.
