Maze generator
Print mazes for kids at the difficulty that suits them: easy for a first maze, right up to expert for a child who finishes everything early. Put one maze on the page or fit up to four, keep the solution page, and download the result as a US Letter or A4 PDF.
Pick a difficulty, preview the maze instantly, then download the PDF — no account needed.
Medium is a 13 × 18 grid. Difficulty is the number of cells, not the size of the drawing — the walls stay the same thickness and the cells get smaller.
Every maze has exactly one solution — guaranteed by the algorithm, and the solution page is included.
How it works
- Choose a difficulty and how many mazes go in the PDF.
- Check the maze in the live preview — what you see is exactly what prints.
- Download the PDF with the solution page, or copy a share link that restores these settings.
Using these worksheets in teaching
A maze is a planning task wearing a puzzle costume. The children who finish fastest are rarely the ones who draw fastest — they are the ones who look ahead a few cells before committing the pencil, and that habit is worth naming out loud when you hand the sheet out. Ask for the route to be traced with a finger first and drawn second; it turns an activity that can be pure trial and error into something closer to reasoning, and it saves a lot of erasing. Mazes also earn their place as a settling task at the start of a lesson or as an early-finisher sheet, because they need no reading, no number facts and no adult to grade them: a child can tell for themselves whether they got through. Move a child up a level once a maze is finished without a wrong turn rather than once it is finished at all, and expect the jump from hard to expert to feel much larger than the jump from easy to medium.
Frequently asked questions
- Does every maze have exactly one solution?
- Yes, and it is guaranteed by the algorithm rather than checked afterwards. The maze is carved as a spanning tree of the grid, which means every cell is reachable and there is exactly one path between any two cells — so there is exactly one route from the start to the end, with no loops and no dead-end shortcuts. The solution page is included in the same PDF.
- What do the four difficulty levels change?
- The number of cells, not the drawing size. Easy is a 10 × 14 grid, medium 13 × 18, hard 16 × 22 and expert 22 × 30. A maze of this kind gets harder roughly with its area, because a bigger grid means more branches to rule out — the walls stay the same thickness and the cells simply get smaller.
- How many mazes fit on one page?
- Up to four per PDF, laid out two to a page. One maze fills the sheet at a comfortable size for a pencil; four suit a warm-up, a relief lesson or an early-finisher folder.
- Can I turn the solutions off?
- Yes. Switch off the solution page and the PDF contains only the mazes — useful when the sheet is going straight to a class and you would rather not print the answers at the same time.
- Will the same settings always produce the same maze?
- Every maze has a seed. The same settings and seed always reproduce the identical maze, and the regenerate button gives you a fresh one — so you can print thirty different mazes for thirty children, or reprint the exact sheet you handed out last week.
