Maze and Labyrinth News - April 2026

April 2, 2026

I am back again with all the things I found during the month that didn’t quite fit into it’s own blog post, but that I found interesting about mazes and labyrinths. The news archive for past months is at the bottom of the post.

The world’s largest stone labyrinth is now open !

7 years after building began, a stone labyrinth called Kerdroya has been completed in Cornwall, England. Created by Cornish artist Will Coleman, the labyrinth is 56meters wide, (183.7 feet), making it the largest stone labyrinth in the world. The photos in this article show just how impressive it is. Plan a trip on the official website.

A Maze on the Restroom Floor

Never thought I would write that. I have written many blog posts about maze games, and Pac-Man was the arcade game that popularized the maze chase game genre. Well, if you live in Portland, OR you have probably visited the arcade Ground Kontrol. Located at 115 NW 5th Ave, this seems like the kind of place I would love to hang out. Eventually you will be to use the restroom and, as this article mentions, it includes a tile floor of our favorite arcade maze game.

A Maze Comic Strip

I have my own maze comic strip that I update every Wednesday, but I found this political cartoon by Bill Bramhall showing Trump in a maze. Check out the link to see it.

The King adds a maze to a garden

The Castle of Mey in Caithness, GB was a favorite of the late Queen Mother, who enjoyed spending time in the gardens. King Charles was a fan of mazes as a child, so when he had an opportunity to remake the gardens and grounds of the Castle of Mey he made sure to design a small maze in the garden. The article that spoke about this is making the rounds again, and I am looking for updates on the maze completion.

Micromouse competitions took place in March in the US

Check out the APEC Micromouse website which was scheduled for Monday, March 23, 2026. This features engineers competing to have their robotic mouses solve a maze the fastest. Here is a video showing previous contests:

Some news is evergreen and can be found in past monthly news posts:

Doyoumaze Comic Strip #13 - Field of Mazes

April 1, 2026

I used Google Gemini to make this comic strip based on my comic idea with a few changes. (I am too busy making mazes to make all of the illustrations needed). Come back each Wednesday for a new comic strip. All comic strips will be housed in this archive.

Doyoumaze Comic Strip #13 - Field of Mazes

A farmer builds a baseball field in his field thinking they will come, but is also a fan of corn mazes - what could possibly go wrong ? Field of Dreams + corn maze = game delay.

Maze Comic Book Cover #118 - Vermin

March 31, 2026

Issue #118 in my comic book cover collection features the maze of a Rat and is titled Vermin. The background of the city was made using AI.

My comic book cover mazes are archived by year:

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 1 (Issues #1 - 53)

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 2 (Issues# 54 -105)

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 3 (Issues #106 - )

Actually, a real city rate would be much larger and need a foldout cover to fit !

Maze of the Week #222 - Trevi Fountain

March 30, 2026

It is Italy maze month on the site and our 5th maze is Maze of the Week #222 of the Trevi Fountain in Rome. The fountain was finished in 1762 on a site that had been discovered and used for water since 19 BC. You can read about the interesting history on Wikipedia or watch the below video to answer the common questions about the Trevi Fountain:

My Photo: I actually visited the fountain multiple times. The first time was in the middle of the day and it was uncomfortably busy so I went back the next morning (thus the shadows) so I could see it better and snap a photo. It was still quite busy but manageable.

The maze: When I decided to make this maze I knew it would take a long time, I just had to hope it would be worth all the effort. Mostly black and white with a slight blue in some water portions. I went for detail. I hope you like it. In Italian.
