An Overview of Free Downloadable Maze Books

From the time I started this website I have tried to create books to pull together Maze Collections for people who love to solve mazes. I also have done some monthly themes of different maze types that naturally made for a good book. As I made the books I enjoyed the challenge of creating meaningful content that was both cohesive and engaging, I also got to practice making books and book covers. The more books I made the better I got. Good enough to make books for Amazon (I am now up to 8 different books on Amazon if you are looking for a gift). But that is not what today is about. Today is about the 34 Maze books you can download here on the website in the Free Printable Book Section. If you download them all there are over 1150 different mazes available just from the books below (plus 151 word puzzles) ! Many of these books were updated in 2026.

I also have an additional group of books you can find in the free printable maze section on the site !!! These pull together themes from the maze section (a dot maze book in the dot maze section of the site, etc.). I will make a write-up for them in the future.

Let’s group these in the way they appear on the website, with easy books first:

EASY MAZE BOOKS

My first book was made for Kids, The Alphabet Maze Book (and coloring pages) has been updated for 2026. It is a book of each letter of the alphabet plus the numbers 0-9. Each page has the letter/number as a maze and an example of a word that starts with the letter mazed or a number of items mazed for the number pages. Plus each letter has a space to practice writing it. So each page has multiple uses !! Check out the example page for the Letter J Maze below. This book is in black and white except for the cover so it doubles as a coloring page !

After making my ABC book I did a follow-up for children to help them learn their colors called The Learn Your Colors Maze Book. It covers the 12 main colors and has multiple mazes per page as you can see in the color Red page example below. Despite being short in length it is packed full of 62 mazes ! Obviously this book should be printed in color. I updated all pages to be more kid friendly in 2026.

THE LEARN YOUR COLORS MAZE BOOK

12 pages, 62 mazes

Age: Children

Size: 413 KB

Learn your colors with 62 unique mazes. Print in color or solve on screen.

Red items maze page

Next I made a group of 30 easy kids mazes. They are a mixture of collect items and avoid items mazes. Each maze can be made more difficult if you want by only visiting a location once. In the example maze you can collect the pretzels then reach the goal, or you can do that without going to the same space again to make it more difficult. This is a perfect book for young kids. This first version is in color, but I made a new black and white edition if you prefer to print it !

Line leads mazes are a classic kids activity puzzle. As you move through the A Line Leads Book, things get more difficult with more possible options that lead to the goal. The cover serves as the example (and one of the mazes). I made additional mazes and split them into 2 books in 2026, focusing on black and white for easy printing ! Volume 2 features some of my better artwork.

A LINE LEADS BOOK vol 1 & 2

21 line leads mazes including the cover. Classic puzzle where you determine which line leads to the object. Mazes are in black and white.

My The Wacky Aliens Maze and Coloring Book was created as a project I did to convert some of my old had drawn mazes into digital ones. You can read about the conversion process that includes a few examples of the finished mazes. The cover serves as the example for the book. I revised and expanded the book in 2026 highlighting the coloring aspect more.

Age: All

50 Mazes of aliens. Difficulty level is EASY. All mazes are in black and white.

January 2021 brought us a new theme, the Racing Maze. Meant to be a printed maze that is solved by 2 people at the same time. Mazes are mostly easy and targeted at kids, but the last few are done in a Weaving Maze style and are more difficult. All mazes are meant to be solved quickly ! The cover serves as the example. The new 2026 edition includes only black and white (and grey) mazes for easier printing.

The Maze racing book

THE MAZE RACING BOOK

32 pages, 31 Racing mazes

Age: All

File Size: 376 KB

Each racing maze is meant to be solved competitively by 2 people starting at the same time. These are mostly easy mazes with a few weaving mazes at the end a bit harder. Mazes are in black and white.

I have done 2 volumes of Christmas Maze Books, both titled Happy Holidays: A Christmas Themed Maze Book. They are an assortment of maze types, mostly easy and medium difficulty. Both contain 31 mazes and are mostly full of color mazes. Each can be printed in black and white to solve with no issues.

MEDIUM DIFFICULTY MAZE BOOKS

My next group of maze books dealt with the maps of each of the states in the United States. There are 3 different books to explore on this. I named the more difficult state mazes The United States Road Trip Maze Book. It contains 51 pages and mazes, one for each state plus Washington DC. The example maze is a New York Maze to give you an example of the difficulty. All mazes are in black and white.

UNITED STATES ROAD TRIP MAZE BOOK

If you are looking for a more educational state maze book then you are looking for the below United States State Capitals Maze Book. It was made with Middle school children in mind. Each mazes goal is the state capital so it is a way to learn them. Each page also includes some other state facts. Check out the example of the Ohio Maze below. All mazes goals are a red dot, but are otherwise in black and white, so printing them to solve in black and white is not an issue.

UNITED STATES STATE CAPITALS MAZE BOOK

UNITED STATES STATE CAPITALS MAZE BOOK

51 pages, 51 mazes

Ages: Middle school

Size: 1,594 KB

Maps of each of the US states. Each maze ends in the state capital.

Ohio Kids Maze example

My third book was published in late 2025. It is a dual puzzle book. First you must solve the maze by spelling out the states motto with a hint below it in the form of spaces for the letters/words. Then each page has hidden word scramble for you to find.

The US States Trail Maze Book

The US Trail Maze Book

51 pages, 50 trail mazes

Age: Kids

Size: 1530 KB

Maps of each US state, each with 2 activities: Solve the Trail maze from start to goal of the states official motto, then find the hidden scrambled words ! Mazes are in black and white.

Ohio Motto Trail Maze example

I went through a phase of making map mazes, and similar to the state capital mazes, I made a book of each European country, again ending in the countries capital called The European Map Maze Book. This includes a quiz at the end of the book to match the country to its capital. A nice way to learn the countries of Europe and the largest and most important cities by country, and what each borders ! Check out the example country Germany. Re-designed in 2026 for black and white printing. You can find downloads for individual maps in the map maze section of the site (including mazes in native languages).

Germany Map Maze

I had a box maze phase. Keeping the border and structure relatively similar and then experimenting with how I filled the space with a variety of designs and constructions to make the maze. Eventually I had made enough to create 2 booklets, with one book easy mazes and the other the more difficult mazes. I redesigned all of the mazes to be in black and white. Mazes on the cover serve as the examples.

The Box Maze Booklet Vol 1

The Box Maze Booklet Vol 1 & 2

31 pages, 30 mazes

Age: Teens+

I made a comic book style horoscope book for fun, re-using some mazes and adding what I was missing to create a book I call Celestial: A Zodiac Maze Collection. Same concept as above but with characters instead of symbols. The Aquarius Maze gives you an idea of what you can find in the book. Definitely a color print.

My next free downloadable maze book is not a maze book (anymore). It is A Word Puzzle Book. Originally done as 151 different mazes I felt the maze portion was distracting to the word puzzles, so I scrapped 3 different books and revised them into 1 new book with NO Mazes. I think it is a much better book now. Can you tell what the book covers solution is ? Color IS important in many of these puzzles so I recommend printing in color or solving on screen !

A word puzzle book cover

A WORD PUZZLE BOOK - REVISED MEGA EDITION !!

26 pages, 151 word puzzles

Age: All

Size: 1,421 KB

151 Word puzzles of common sayings, phrases and idioms, previously collected in 3 volumes, now combined into 1 Mega volume with revisions and improvements !!

I experimented with making mazes from common patterns and thought a book of mazes from them would be nice. I called it The Pattern Box Maze booklet. It features 34 pattern mazes in a booklet size. I think the Greek Key Maze is a good example of mazes in the booklet. I revised this book in 2026 to be entirely black and white.

THE PATTERN BOXES MAZE BOOKLET

THE PATTERN BOXES MAZE BOOKLET

35 pages, 34 mazes

34 Pattern inspired mazes in booklet format (A6, or approx 6x4). That isn’t just a pattern, it’s a solvable maze ! This revised edition is in black and white !

Block Mazes are a type of maze puzzle. You still have the traditional overall objective of getting from the start to the goal, you just need to do that by strategically moving blocks to create a pathway. The Block Maze Booklet was expanded in 2026 to 20 puzzles from 12. All mazes are in a black/white/grey color.

THE BLOCK MAZE BOOKLET

26 pages, 20 block mazes

Age: Teens+

Size: 583 KB

20 Block Mazes in booklet format (A6, or approx 6x4). Create a path from start to finish by shifting blocks. All mazes are in black/white/grey. Includes solutions.

Block maze #6

The Hidden Message Trail Maze was something I came up with in 2021. The nice thing about these mazes are you get clues to help you solve them. As a solver you still need to move from Start to Goal, but you a re not avoiding walls or dead ends, but gathering letters along the way to spell out a message. Great if you like both puzzles and mazes ! While some of these contain color, printing in black and white will not change the mazes at all ! The cover serves as the example maze.

Trail Maze Book Cover

THE HIDDEN MESSAGE TRAIL MAZE BOOK

28 pages, 29 Hidden Message Trail mazes

File Size: 445 KB

Features daily mazes from February 2021. Each maze has a hidden message with up to 3 clues: 1 - The maze object, 2 - The type of saying and 3 - The length of the words. If you want to make your own - how to make a hidden trail maze gives you step by step instructions.

September 2020 brought us The Escape Maze Book. I think these mazes, which require you to escape from the center of the maze are both fun and challenging. This just might become a large book in the future, but for now you get 30 mazes. All mazes are in black and white. The cover serves as the example maze.

THE ESCAPE MAZE BOOK

Features 32 different escape mazes where you start in the center and must escape the outer edge of the maze. All mazes are in black and white.

April 2020 brought a month full of Puzzle Mazes. If you want to think before you make each movement in a maze, this is the book for you. The Puzzle Maze Book is all about color and cannot be printed in black and white. It is also the first book where I spent extra time working on the cover. Each maze gives you conditions on what spaces you can move to.

A Warp Maze Booklet features 40 warp mazes where you can jump between symbols. They aren’t particularly difficult or exciting, but they are a change of pace. This is booklet size and perfect for tablets. I revised and expanded this in 2026 by using symbols instead of colors to make it black and white friendly.

A WARP MAZE BOOKLET

40 warp mazes where you can move across the maze at various points. Revised edition for black and white printing.

Pod Mazes split a maze into sections, which I call pods. Arrows show where you can cross over to other pods. The black spaces make solving the maze slightly harder since they break up your vision when you are trying to find correct paths vs dead ends. I revised this in 2026 to remove the colors to make it more print friendly.

A free downloadable book featuring 32 different pod mazes. Mazes come in a variety of shapes but all are in black and white.

I made a mini book of 9 Golf Mazes that take place on a golf course. The start is at the tee and the goal is to get to the hole just like a real golf game. It can be played vs. par if you want a bigger challenge by timing yourself to see how fast you can finish the maze. While all mazes are in color, black and white printing is fine for solving.

The Golf Maze Book

I expanded this book of Pattern mazes and broke it back into 2 books of 35 mazes each. Each maze features a pattern that has been cut into a maze. Book 1 is box shaped while book 2 is more floral shaped mazes. All mazes are in black and white.

A Pattern Maze Book: Volume 1

HARD MAZE BOOKS

The best ways to describe these Connected Mazes are that each maze can be solved on it’s own, but also they combine (or connect) to create one larger maze. So using the cover as an example you can go from Start to either B or C to solve the maze. Each will work - and whichever you land on tells you what maze you move to next. However, only one of them is correct for the larger maze. All mazes are in black/white/grey for easy printing. Individual mazes might be easy/medium…but solving the overall book is HARD !

A Connected Maze Book

August 2020 was dedicated to The Slide Arrow Maze Book. These are VERY DIFFICULT to solve going from start to finish. The size and the fact that most mazes have only 1 solution mean your chances of solving these quickly are basically zero. All mazes are in black and white except for the start arrow in red (which will print as grey).

THE SLIDE ARROW MAZE BOOK

Horoscope Symbol Mazes - A Collection of Zodiac Mazes

If you are interested in the zodiac and like mazes I have some mazes you will like !

I have updated the site and now have 2 different versions of zodiac maze books, both updated for 2026. The original The Horoscope Maze Booklet features mazes of the 12 zodiac symbols that represent the horoscope. These are not easy mazes, but I also wouldn’t call them too difficult either because they are small in size. They are all designed in black and white.

Let’s take a look at the Zodiac Maze collection by looking at each individual maze in The Horoscope Maze Booklet.

We start in Mid-January with this Aquarius Maze, the water carrier. I went with a 90 degree corners version of waves to make the mazing a bit easier to make.

The Pisces Maze is next, and is usually shown with a pair of fishes, of with a variation of the symbol below.

The Aries Maze, symbolizing the ram during March and April. Something I didn’t know is that this is considered the first sign in the zodiac. You could call that a fun fact. Or a fact. Either one.

Aries Maze

A Taurus Maze, the symbol of the bull makes the solver travel from horn to horn, just like the Aries Maze above !

The twins represent the Gemini Maze. If I told you it was a maze of the Roman Numeral 2 that would also work !

The Cancer Maze is symbolized by the crab and uses this symbol. While they typically do not touch, by moving the design closer together it made the maze pathway switchover easier to execute and it looks better than the alternative !

And of course we have the Leo Maze, or Lion. Or maybe a winding road you don’t want to drive on. That too. This is a maze where the start and goal were very easy to pick the locations of.

Hope you enjoyed this look at the Horoscope Maze Collection. If you are interested in downloading all 12 mazes I made a booklet available for free in my book section. Here is a look at the book covers. I should also mention that all of these mazes are available en Español also (same mazes, different labels). You can check them out on their own page, or in their own book.

THE HOROSCOPE MAZE BOOKLET
El folleto del Laberinto del Horóscopo

I have made over 100 comic book style mazes, and used that inspiration to make a new, full color, maze comic book cover version of horoscope mazes. I call it Celestial - A Horoscope Maze Book. This focuses less on the symbols and more on the characters of the zodiac/horoscope. Click on a cover to see a larger version !

This version is also available for free download in both English and Spanish. You can find them at the same links as above next to the other horoscope maze book ! Here are the covers:

If you are looking for something a bit different, like Activity Books for Kids, I also have a few of them (all free!) available for download on the site also.

Weekly Hard Maze #1

I have had some success with making mazes for people who prefer difficult mazes. Not everyone wants to be overly challenged when solving a maze. In the past I have made mazes that were frustrating more than enjoyable. With this series I hope to make hard mazes that are also fun to solve. Each Saturday I will post a new maze with all of them sitting in the Hard Maze Archive. I will try to post a variety of maze types to keep things interesting.

Weekly Hard Maze #1 - Double Weaving Maze

This is a maze made from 2 other mazes I combined, thus the long size. Pathways weave above and below one another. Solution will be in the archive. Download is below.

One Maze - Many designs

I wanted to experiment with maze design by trying a large variety of the tools available to see what I could make. This came to mind because I updated my Inkscape software and had to re-learn the layout I was used to. Every few months I find something that I wish I had known about before, so now I’m clicking on just about everything to see what it does.

So I start this week with a basic standard maze in black and white. My goal is to see how all the tools I find can transform it. Hopefully I find something useful ! Here is our starting point (maze zero) which I made in Inkscape:

Simple Maze

Every Friday I will update this maze with the experiments I did for the week. We will see what happens and hopefully learn a lot. Or not.
