Waiting for a maze…

Start at the cobalt dot. The exit is the ochre ×.

Maze generator

Pick a width. Pick a height. Generate. The walls show up like pencil on graph paper — then you can walk them without switching tabs. That’s the point. Half the internet gives you a PNG and waves goodbye. Here the same maze stays playable.

Need paper for a kid or a coffee break? Printable is the same ink with a print-first hat. Want it meaner by default? Hard.

When

When to use

Custom size. Fresh seed every time. Classroom warm-up you can also solve on screen. You’re tired of fixed one-off mazes.

When not

When not to

You only want a pre-drawn worksheet pack → don’t expect a bookstore. You want a horror scream page → leave. You need 3D Unity corridors → different hobby.

Defaults

Assumptions

Perfect maze (one path start→end) unless we say otherwise later. Generation runs in a Web Worker so the tab doesn’t freeze on bigger grids. Seed is for replay, not magic lottery.

Steps

How

  1. Set Width / Height (or a preset).
  2. Hit Generate.
  3. Walk it. Or Print / Download. Or New maze when you’re bored.

Worked notes

Examples

  • 15×15 for a quick desk puzzle → 30×30 when you have coffee left
  • You came from a generator that only spat a blurry PNG → here you can still move after export

Watch-outs

Gotchas

  • Bigger grids take a breath. Don’t mash Generate like it’s a slot machine.
  • “Maze maker” search junk often means craft kits; this is browser walls.
  • Print quality depends on your printer, not our poetry.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the generator free?
Yes. You don’t need an account to carve a maze.
Can I save a PDF?
Use Print (or Download when we ship it) from the live maze. We’re not a worksheet warehouse full of pre-made packs.
Which algorithm do you use?
Batch one ships a solid recursive backtracker. We may add other textures later if they’re worth the clutter.
Can I play the maze after I generate it?
That’s the point — walk it on the same page, then print if you want paper.
