Tips & strategy
- Keep one hand on a wall — following the left wall consistently solves any simply-connected maze.
- In Fog mode, retrace deliberately instead of wandering; dead ends stay mapped once visited.
- Larger mazes reward the wall-follow method more than intuition.
- Using a hint costs you time on the clock, so save it for genuine confusion.
Frequently asked questions
Are the mazes randomly generated?
Yes, using a depth-first backtracking algorithm, so every maze is new and always has exactly one solution path.
What is Fog mode?
It hides the maze beyond a small radius around your position, turning it into a memory and mapping challenge.
Does hinting affect my time?
Yes. Each hint adds a five second penalty to your finishing time.
