How to Make Your Own Maze

How to Make Your Own Maze How to Make Your Own Maze Making your own maze can be real fun if you use a bit of creativity in the process. After making it, you can also add in a story to make the maze more appealing and interesting. Let us now learn the process of making a maze on your own.

Begin the process by taking a piece of graph paper.
Now we will need to make the outside parameters of the maze. Almost all mazes have a rectangular or square shape but you can change the shape of your maze according to your choice. After you perfect the art of making your own maze, you can design it in any shape and size.
Make sure that you are leaving an opening on the opposite sides of the maze for the “start” and “finish” of the game.
Now starting from the finish point, you will have to draw out a path till the start point. You will need to use the grid pattern of the graph paper in this process. In order to make it a challenge for your friends, move the path in varied directions. This will make the maze more exciting and fun.
This path that you have drawn is the correct one. But you will have to draw many other paths which will help in misleading your friends from reaching the finish point. You can also use straight lines near and around the correct path which will confuse the players. Make these paths random and distracting. As you have already marked your correct path, you just now need to worry about making the other paths distracting and confusing to the players.
Do not forget to write “start” and “finish” at the respective points.
Now is the time to test it out on your friends and watch the fun unfold before your eyes!
