My 2026 Website Outlook

It is time to discuss what the website will be doing in 2026. The website has grown a lot since I first launched it. I still enjoy creating mazes and writing about them so the site is in for a busy year because I want to try some new things (while keeping some of the old).

What is the weekly posting plan for 2026 ?

Monday - Maze of the Week launch post

Tuesday - Comic Book Cover Maze of the week

Wednesday - Maze and Labyrinth themed comic strips (NEW)

Thursday - Blog Posts

Friday - Maze Design Case Study (NEW)

Saturday - Hard Maze of the Week (NEW)

Sunday - Day of rest, extra blog posts if needed. I may use Sundays to update some old blog posts with new information.

Tell me about the new items.

  • I decided to make some comic strips that fit into the website theme. I always had this idea and with the help of AI I made it happen. The illustrations aren’t perfect, but I did not have time to make them without the help. I think the first few I have done came out well. Ultimately, you’ll decide. There will be a landing page with all of them pulled together.

  • On Fridays I wanted to try something new while continuing my maze design case studies. Not sure how it will go exactly but I want to make a maze, then play around with it in different styles and see how it comes out. It (hopefully) is a project that will have cool discoveries and misses, but I am here for it. There will be a landing page with all of them pulled together. It is a way for me to learn how to use Inkscape better !

  • People seem to be looking for harder mazes. I am going to make Saturday hard maze day. There will be a landing page with all of them pulled together. I populated it with some older mazes to start.

What type of mazes will I see on the site ?

  • Every Monday you will get a maze of the week with a corresponding blog post about it. That is normal.

  • I have decided to do mazes of famous places from around the world. Lots of buildings, museums and landscapes. Famous place mazes have done well on the site so I am expanding them. Also they are fun to make.

Any new books planned ?

  • I had a huge year with launching books in 2025, both free versions and Amazon books. I will be cutting back on new books……probably. I do have a list of over 2 dozen possible books to create.

  • However, I am going to revise my free books one at a time to be more print and tablet friendly. I don’t have a schedule for this but I update everyone when I post them. Not sure how many I will get through but this is similar to my maze of the week re-dux project from 2025.

  • I will be expanding my Spanish language catalog of free books by translating older books as I revise them where it makes sense.

Comic Book Cover Mazes; Year 3 ?

  • Yes. I have fun making these. I decided to continue the series. If I make it to the end of the year, and I plan to, that would be issue #157.

  • Expect to see a lot of animal themed mazes again. There are plenty of animals I have not mazed yet. Mazequerade Comic Book Cover List tells you more about it.

  • They will sit in their own section again. Each year has a section on the site.

Pinterest ?

  • I started this in 2024 and I get some traffic to the site from there but my posts don’t seem to get much traction. You can check out my page/pins. Feel free to share my mazes there ! Honestly I’m not sure which I am worse at, YouTube or Pinterest ?

  • Every time I think something will work there it doesn’t. I have no idea what I am doing, but I will keep posting there sporadically.

Blog Posts ?

Want to guest blog about maze and labyrinth design ? Drop me an email ! With so much content planned I will be cutting back on traditional blog posts multiple times a week. One Thursday a month will be dedicated to Maze and Labyrinth News where I pull together multiple stories into one newsletter. I prefer one blog post on 10 different things rather than writing 10 different longer blog posts on each subject ! Important topics will remain stand alone. Expect to see a lot of updates on old blog posts also.

I hope you enjoy the site !

My 2025 Website Outlook

It is time to evaluate the website, the YouTube channel, and the brand to see what I want to do for 2025. Most importantly, what will be the maze theme for 2025 ?

What type of mazes will I see on the site ?

  • Every Monday you will get a maze of the week with a corresponding blog post about it.

  • I have enjoyed doing case studies as I have learned new drawing techniques, allowing me to improve some of my mazes. Here is a blog post that brings those posts together: A Collection of Maze Design Case Studies to improve your Mazes

  • For the first half of the year I am going to revise some of my most popular mazes and see if I can improve them. So, Maze of the Week Re-dux’s.

  • The second half of the year will be new mazes on a wide variety of subjects, using what I have learned. SEE UPDATE BELOW

Will there be videos on YouTube again ?

  • No. There did not seem to me much interest in the making of mazes that I made, so the YouTube videos will stop.

Any new books planned ?

  • Many. I will be launching new books during the year on the website. Themed. Typical subjects. I hope to make a lot more Kids maze content.

  • I am also working on Books to launch on Amazon in the Fall. Arrow Mazes Vol 2, Weaving Mazes Vol 2 and a few others I will announce in the future.

  • I have also pulled together my Comic Book Cover Mazes into a free book for anyone who signs up for my book alerts.

How do I sign-up for new Book alerts ?

  • Right here. Any time I launch a new book I will send you an email.

Comic Books; I thought this was a maze site ?

  • I really like the comic book style and made a new comic book style maze each week in 2024. Each Tuesday I made the weekly maze into a comic book cover. I will be continuing making Tuesday a day where you get a new Comic Book Cover Maze. The numbering continues.

  • However it will not be of the Monday MOTW like in 2024, instead it will be a stand alone maze. So each week will feature 2 new mazes !

  • If you want to receive the full comic book from 2024, sign up above and I will send it to you !


Pinterest ?

  • I started this in 2024 and didn’t do much with it. I get some traffic to the site from there. You can check out my page/pins. Fell free to share my mazes there ! Honestly I’m not sure which I am worse at, YouTube or Pinterest ?

  • I will post there more when I have time.


Blogging ?

  • Well I did a new labyrinth blog post each Saturday in 2024, suggesting free labyrinths to visit in each US state. Well, I am out of states, so Saturday blog posts will most likely be gone, leaving me with a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday posting schedule.

  • Want to guest blog about maze and labyrinth design ? Drop me an email !


So, in summary:

  • Monday - Maze of the Week - Re-dux’s to start

  • Tuesday - Comic Book Cover mazes continue

  • Thursday - General interest blog posts on mazes and labyrinths

I hope you enjoy the site !


WEEKLY MAZES for the second half of the year:

The first half of the year has focused on me remaking previous mazes with 2 techniques to improve them. I called them Maze of the Week Re-duxes. Generally it worked and I am happy with the results. For the second half of the year we will return to new mazes. I actually have made more mazes than I need for the rest of the year. First, I will clean out the random mazes that include some scenes, items, landscapes and insects. Then starting in Mid-August new mazes will be from my Air, Land, Sea and Space collection. I wanted to create some mazes for kids but with improved illustrations. I ended up making vehicles of all types, thus my name. Planes, trains, cars, buses, rockets, and boats are all included. I made 47 in total (and may make more). I am going to select the best ones for the Maze of the week. The goal will be to create a kids book out of the mazes, including those that don’t make MOTW status. In order to make all the mazes available on the website, I will write a blog post introducing the extra vehicle mazes each Wednesday and a few more on Friday. They are mix or color (some with backgrounds), and black & white versions, including some that are perfect as coloring pages. It starts Monday with a maze I started, then abandoned of a famous monument in the US.

UPDATE from the future: These vehicle mazes are now pulled together in book form in either color or blacka nd white !

Air Land Sea Space Maze Book

I also will be launching books in the Fall - a mix of both free versions on this site and paid versions on Amazon. If you want to be alerted to these launches sign-up for my free book alerts.

My 2024 Website Outlook

For 2024 I will continue to post a new maze every Monday launched with a blog post. I will also be making weekly YouTube videos showing these mazes being made. We will have a new theme for the year, and I am going to try a new blog posting schedule.

What type of mazes will I see on the site ?

  • I really liked the comic book style mazes I made, so I am going to make a full year of them ! You have seen these the last few weeks starting with the Evil Pumpkin I made for Halloween.

  • The mazes will all be free hand drawn mazes walls so the look will not be as polished as a building maze, but the style fits the mazes I believe !

  • Overall, these mazes will be good for kids and not very difficult (with a few exceptions)

What will be new ?

  • Each maze will have a preview outline the week before that gives you a hint on what the next maze will be. Here is the first preview for our first maze of the week - What do you think it is ?

Maze Preview #1

  • Since comic books are known for having variations you will get variations of each maze. On Monday I will give you a second colored version of the maze, while on Tuesday I will give you a special comic book cover of the maze, unveiled in a blog post. Collect all 53 comics !

  • I have used starryai to make some backgrounds for the comic books. It is my favorite AI text to image generator.

  • Also, all Mazes of the Week will sit in one block on the homepage with all maze downloads there. Same for Comic Book Covers - they will all be in 1 block.

What will the subject matter be ?

  • Lots of animals to celebrate national and international holidays.

  • A few other subjects that make for good comic book covers and fit the style of artwork.

Will there be videos on YouTube again ?

  • Yes, but they will be much shorter in length and will not include solutions since they are easier mazes than I typically make.

  • Because they are shorter they will be called Quick mazes instead of One Minute Mazes.

  • I also shortened the Intro and Outro and changed the music.

What about blog posts ?

  • Monday - A post to launch the Maze of the Week, including a variation version. Will include a preview outline of the next weeks maze (as shown above).

  • Tuesday - Comic Book cover version of the maze

  • Thursday - General blog post - various maze/labyrinth topics

  • Saturday - Labyrinth finding blog posts (by US state)

Anything else ?

  • I am working on a slight re-design to remove or hide old content that is not popular. My hope is this does not hurt the SEO of the site and allows it to load faster. Some pages will only be available if you find them in search as they will become unlinked to the site from the menus. Overall I have made the site “lighter” to load faster.

  • I started a Pinterest account / page. Still learning what I’m doing and how to utilize it. Maybe it becomes something. Either way it is something new for me to learn !

  • By the end of the year I should have a blog post for every state in the US about publicly available labyrinths. All will sit in one section on the Homepage. If I enjoy it, and people read them, I will continue to make similar content ! If it is a bust, I will stop creating the blog posts early (sorry Wyoming, etc.)

Let’s have a great 2024 ! I hope you enjoy the mazes and the new content !

My 2023 Website Outlook

In 2022 I switched from daily mazes to weekly mazes and really preferred this schedule. This allowed me to put more work into each maze and create mazes that were more like artwork. Each Monday I launched a new maze with a blog post.

For 2023 this format will continue - a new maze each Monday launched with a blog post. I will also be makig weekly videos.

What type of mazes will I see on the site ?

  • Building Mazes - a nice subject to create a maze with, & my favorite

  • Sign Mazes - for some reason I like making this type of maze

  • Scene Mazes - new. you’ll understand when you see it. Update - like this walking Street.

  • and a few new one off experimental subjects to keep things interesting !

What will be new ?

  • YouTube Videos - I will show some of the mazes being made in steps, edited into short videos. This will also include videos of mazes being solved. You can check out my channel here.

  • New Shapes - I have already made a few mazes that are very wide and a square shaped maze. Expect more interesting shapes in 2023. I have found that if I make a make that is of a subject with a weird shape, I shouldn’t try to fit that maze to a standard sheet of paper. If I do I end up with a maze with a lot of white space or with a maze too small to solve. The maze size is the maze size regardless of the paper. Deal with it.

  • Multi Maze Pictures - I have already made 2 mazes that include multiple mazes within them. One has 10, the other has 4 !! For what is coming in the future, these are subjects where some zones are impassable so multi-maze makes a lor of sense. Also, very large mazes where multiple mazes will fit. Check out this example of a famous building maze.

  • More International Mazes - 44 mazes from 2022 were from the USA with only 4 other countries represented. There will be many more International mazes !

How can I suggest a maze subject ?

Let’s have a great 2023 !
