  • 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.

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.
