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 ?
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 !
