Since 2021 I have only been doing doing maze name requests when they were submitted. I had many teachers reach out for classrooms full of unique names ! I think I rank well for this on many search engines so I get a lot of maze name traffic !

I did a lot of SEO work. AI seems to like me (before it makes me obsolete?)
Different countries visiting the site:
2025: 207 according to Google analytics ?
2024: 200 according to Google analytics. Depending on how you count the # of countries, that means just about every country. Except North Korea….and I will need to research to see if anyone else is missing.
2023: 169 - I changed how I track this and think the 100 below might have been inaccurate. Out of 195 or so depending on the list you look at.
2022: 100
2021: 100

Pinterest:
I have no idea how to quantify this, but I have a Pinterest Page. It is small. I don’t do much there. Here is my traffic from there to my site:
2025: 1,714 + 57% LY
2024: 1,091 + 343% LY
2023: 318
Large growth as a percent, but a small part of the traffic to the site.
Some statistics about the 52 mazes I featured this year:
The first half of the year featured previous mazes that I redid to hopefully improve them. #158-182.
The middle section featured mazes I hadn’t previously published for one reason or another (wanted to improve them or they were previous commission mazes) #183-189. They are all types of scenes, from skylines to beaches to mountains.
And finally I finished the year with my Land, Air, Sea and Space Collection that featured mazes of vehicles. Each of those mazes can be found in the Vehicle Maze Section of the site. There are 13 Land, 2 Air, 2 Sea and 3 Space Mazes.
I wanted to give everyone an overview of all the mazes of the week that were featured on the site this year (#’s 158-209). If you want to see all of the mazes of the week, I have made an archive that includes all of them in order (with links to downloads). This will allow me to delete most of the Monday blog posts that announce them and clean up the website. It sits in the free downloadable section of the website for now.

My Favorite Mazes from 2025
I made hundreds of mazes this year. I wanted to reflect on my favorites for the year. I made 52 mazes of the week and 52 comic book covers. I also made some extra vehicle mazes I posted throughout the year and I posted some found mazes from the past. Here are my favorites. They include 5 vehicle mazes, 3 mazes I remade by coloring them and a new Star Wars maze !
And here are my 7 favorite comic book covers. I seem to like the bad guys this year for some reason. I really enjoy making these comic book covers. Click to see larger versions of them !
So that is my year in review. I have a plan for 2026 which is one of my next blog posts. Expect more mazes that hopefully people like !
