In 2019 I posted a new themed maze each and every day. We voted on our favorites each month and at the end of the year we picked our 2019 Maze of the year ! I had fun learning what everyone liked and was often surprised by which mazes got votes and which didn’t.
For 2020 I switched things up. While I still posted a daily maze, each month had a themed maze construction type. At the end of each month I made a free downloadable mini book of the months mazes. Like this Line Leads Book from March. Or this Puzzle Maze Book from April. I really enjoyed making these mazes/books but they didn’t make sense for monthly voting for best mazes. I was able to post voting for May and June since those mazes had a lot of variety. But the rest of the months, nope.
So today I will present to you MY favorite mazes of the year (including ones not posted as a daily maze) and once again let you vote on which one you think should be the maze of the year !
#6 Smiley Face Weaving Maze
I made a lot of weaving mazes this year. Enough for 2 different 100 page books !! This is one of my favorites. A nice Smiley Face Maze.
#5 “Kitchen Sink” Arrow Maze
I also made a lot of Arrow Mazes. This is my favorite. I call it a kitchen sink because it contains an undefined Start/Goal (You need to figure out which is which), Warp Zones (to move across the maze), Double Moves (to jump grids and spaces). I think it’s a fun one !
#4 Jet Fighter Maze
The Jet Fighter Maze was posted to celebrate Aviation Maintenance Technician Day on May 24, 2020. The grid maze construction works well with this maze.
#3 Penny Maze
This US Penny Maze was posted for Lucky Penny Day on May 23, 2020. For a grid maze there are actually a lot of options, making the maze more difficult.
#2 Snowman Weaving Maze
I posted this one in December for the holidays. A new take on the weaving maze for me. I like it.
Snowman Weaving Maze
And my personal favorite from 2020 :
#1 Playhouse Square Sign, Cleveland, Ohio
I used this maze to show an example of maze art construction in a blog, I made it based on a photograph and to me it is my favorite maze of the year !!
