If you have taken the challenge of trying to solve The Largest Arrow Maze in the World (probably) you understand why this post exists. It is a maze that takes a long time to solve, and because there are no dead ends in an arrow maze you can feel like you are looping back to previous points constantly. Sometimes you make the right decision, only to be looped even farther back in the maze when a new decision is incorrect.
But, I find Arrow mazes to be more fun than a normal maze. Why ? Well, you cannot see the dead ends easily. In a normal maze you can see obvious wrong pathways quickly and never take them. You can also see loops much more easily that are meant to confuse you, the solver. Arrow ‘pathways’, can change direction in ways that if drawn with regular pathways would need an additional level ( weaving pathways) so paths can go under and over one another. And finally, because of the use of double arrows, and warps (although none are used in this maze) you can get out of tight corners and spaces.
Here are 5 hints to help you solve The Largest Arrow Maze in the World (probably).
Hint #1 - The correct first move
The first move has 4 possible choices (actually 5, both moving to the right is a 1 move option since it returns you back to start). Here is the correct first move:
Hint #2 - A checkpoint in section 1
Your initial goal is to get to the first of 3 checkpoints in the maze. Use this as an unmarked checkpoint before the first official checkpoint.
Hint #3 - A checkpoint in section 2
The move off the checkpoint only has 2 options, and one of them quickly becomes incorrect, so no hint is needed there. Instead you get another checkpoint between section 1 and the next official checkpoint.
Hint #4 - Correct direction from checkpoint 3
The all ways arrow that is your launching off point from checkpoint 2 has 8 options. Eventually you will find the right one, so no hints for that section (between checkpoints 2 and 3).
Checkpoint 3 only has 2 options. I think the wrong way options are fun…but if you are having trouble, this hint tells you which direction is correct.
Hint #5 - A checkpoint in the final section
The home stretch. Get to this spot and you are almost home ! This is your final solving hint !
If you do try this maze, time yourself and drop me a note how fast you were able to solve it in (and if you needed to use any hints) !
And when you are ready, here is the proof that the largest Arrow Maze does have a solution !
If you enjoy arrow mazes, the arrow maze sections of the website have been re-done and added to. Check them out (they just will be much easier than this one):
I also expanded my Arrow maze books for sale on Amazon, with 4 books available. Each book contains 100 mazes. They make a great gift (and a unique because they can be done on Kindle devices).
If you just like large mazes, then these might be for you:
Largest Laser Maze - laser mazes are all about bouncing off walls !
Largest Pipe Maze - if you like weaving mazes !
Largest Mobile Maze - the longest maze on the website !
Or maybe you like hard mazes, in which case you want to check out the hard maze section of the site.
