If you love mazes and have an older Macintosh that will run Mac OS-9, you may enjoy the Virtual Maze Book-Lite, a cute little program that generates mazes that you can print and solve. (Sorry, there is no Windows version and no Mac OS-X version and there probably never will be. When I was developing this program in the early 1990s, I was unsure about the best way to use it. I thought that maybe there would be a market for the program rather than the books. Now I realize that it was a mistake to ever try to make money from the program itself. Its best use was and is as a proprietary system to make maze books.) Download the Virtual Maze Book (lite) (Mac Classic only)
When I developed this page many years ago, there were very few maze resources on the internet. Now there are a lot more, though a few of the early ones are gone. Here is one of the really old sites: www.delorie.com.
This site allows you to create very large mazes: http://www.billsgames.com/mazegenerator/
This site allows you to produce mazes in the shape of a Christmas tree or a valentine. Visit it at http://hereandabove.com/maze/
Some more good maze generators: http://www.xefer.com/maze-generator, and http://www.glassgiant.com/maze/
On this site you can watch the maze being generated and then solved: http://www.math.com/students/puzzles/mazegen/mazegen.html
Some sophisticated mazes are available at: http://www.clickmazes.com/mazes/ixmaze.htm
Here are some mazes for kids that download as pdf files: http://www.abcteach.com/directory/fun_activities/puzzle_fun/maze_fun/
If you want to make your own maze online instead of getting one to solve, you can do it here: http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/makemaze/index.htm
At this site you maneuver through the maze on the screen: http://www.zdaily.com/f1maze.htm
The web address is great, but the mazes are only so-so: http://www.mazesonline.com/
