It is that time again. Time for maze and labyrinth news from the past month. We start with news from this website.

  • US Labyrinth Visits Updated

I completed by long research project on labyrinths in the US that culminated in my blog post Questions about US Labyrinths Answered. I also spent a month and a half updating every states recommended labyrinth visits. Each post got new data and updated links/photos when available. If you want to visit a nearby labyrinth, check out the US Labyrinth Visits page to find some in your state ! for example, Colorado now includes the Santuario de los Pobladores labyrinth that you should read about here.

  • Another Maze inspired movie poster

I found this poster when I did my half year check on one of my favorite websites - Impawards, which specializes in movie posters. This particular movie is not a maze movie, but it is almost a maze movie. Either way, here is a poster for Escape Room (2019), not to be mistaken for Escape Room (2017) which is a maze movie. And if you want to go down a rabbit hole on escape movies read my Escape Room (2017) Movie Review which discusses many more movies with similar titles.

  • Martha Stewart designed a hedge maze

If anyone ever says anything bad about Martha Stewart, punch them in the mouth. They deserve it. I loved reading this article about her design of a hedge maze on her estate. The pictures make this article worth a look / read ! I was also able to find a short video of Martha riding a horse in the maze during the early planting stages of it.

 
  • Mind The Maze app (London Underground)

I was a big fan of the tube during my London visit. At the time I was not doing this website, but I do remember seeing labyrinth artwork in the stations. I have mentioned it before, in 2013 an artist named Mark Wallinger created a different labyrinth for each station, 272 in total. Now, there is an app you can download to track your viewing of them as mentioned in this article ! Check out the website.

  • The largest evergreen maze in the continental US

Shamrock Christmas Tree Farm in Mattituck, NY has announced that this Fall (scheduled to open on September 26) they will be opening a 2.3 acre maze on their farm. The only larger maze in the US is the Dole Pineapple Maze in Hawaii. The drone view of the maze from this article is excellent ! I do not have maze data, but I do have extensive labyrinth data from the US: Questions about US Labyrinths Answered.

 
  • Maze Design Error

Saw this image on LinkedIn with a note blaming AI for the bad design. Not sure who should get the blame, but this is definitely poor maze design.
