Arrow Maze Section updates

I just updated another portion of the site. If you are a fan of Arrow Mazes there are now more to enjoy ! This is one of my more popular sections on the site because I seem to make more of this type of maze than anyone else (let me know if that is not true). I have 4 different books for sale on Amazon with 400 total arrow mazes - 3 of them were launched this Fall, so it was time to update the section. Here is what I did:

  • Updated the early Arrow Mazes

My very first arrow mazes included directions on each page and used colors for the start and goal. I now use the words START and GOAL and do not give directions for each maze. This maze them more print friendly (no colors) and larger on the page when printed (no space taken up by directions). Also, if you do not need the directions it becomes annoying like that YouTube commercial they feed you 100X a week; eventually you just want it to stop.

  • Added more mazes

Previously the section included 9 mazes. Now it includes 31 ! Many more mazes to explore and solve.

  • Increased downloads

There were no downloads available before, now I added a two free booklets if you prefer to solve them on a different screen (or later).: one of the first 10 pages of basic mazes, and one of the 18 mazes that illustrate the new movements.

  • Created sections by arrow type

Other than the normal arrows, there are 6 special types of blocks/arrows that need explanations. I added sections for each to explain them with 3 example mazes for each new block. So I build the solvers skills throughout the page.

  • Added links to my books, and kids versions

If you like the 31 mazes on the updated page, I added links to the 4 books I have on Amazon. Also I have a Kids Arrow Maze section that includes a free downloadable book of 24 mazes.

I will be updating more sections of my site throughout the next few months, hopefully making them more user friendly, more enjoyable, and updated with new mazes !

Happy mazing !

Saltburn (2023) Movie Review

Saltburn (2023) IMDB

Saltburn movie poster

This movie had been on my watchlist since it released. It was nominated for over 100 awards around the world and I wanted to see what the hype was about. Well I finally got around to having Amazon Prime for a few months to catch-up on all the movies I had missed and I was pleasantly surprised this movie contains multiple mazes !

We have a middle class student, Oliver, played by Barry Keoghan attending Oxford university and trying to fit in with his much wealthier classmates. The movie is filled with awkward moments and references to class structure and wealth. It can be uncomfortable to watch at times for multiple reasons none of which I will spoil here, but expect to be shocked many times along the way.

Oliver is invited to spend a Summer on his friends large estate which is a huge departure from his life. Class disparity and English formality are woven throughout the story with great performances by the cast. While in the house he finds a wooden marble maze of the house he plays with. Nice. But later at his birthday party he ventures into the hedge maze on the estate with a minotaur statue in the center. For the next act of the movie the hedge maze in the center of the story. This film is different than others you have seen and is worth a watch if you can handle it !

I give it a 7.2/10.
