I admit when I need a break from creating maze art I search for maze like games. My favorite site recently for this content has been the Crazy Games site which has thousands of games (from my research the number as I write this is about 4.5K). So many games that you need to search by genre to find the type of game you want to play. For me, that is maze games. A search will give you 9 options. A search will also try to send you to the makeup games in the beauty category…and if you are reading this you do not want that. Here are my 5 favorite maze games ! I must say that my rankings are different than the sites users, but each of these is worth checking out if you like mazes.

1. Beam. (Rated 9.0 by users)

Not listed as a maze game - it is exactly that, and my favorite one ! The goal is to move the internal pieces of the puzzle that will reflect the light beam from the entrance to the exit. Essentially you need to make a maze. There are 7 different types of levels but all are similar - creating a maze ! Reminds me a bit of laser mazes if you prefer solving your mazes the old fashioned way.

Here is a screenshot of the “gridlock” type of gameplay. You need to move the blocks to empty spaces to create a path for the beam to cross the structure ! Although the overall gameplay is simple, I really like the variety among the different types. I am a big fan of the pipe paths since I make pipe mazes myself on this site ! The variety of types make this my favorite maze game on the site !

2. Maze Worlds (Rated 8.7 by users)

I’m not sure this is a maze game, but I’m also not sure that it isn’t. And either way, I like it. Easy to play and understand.

The gameplay is simple. I actually am not sure how you lose. I just kept completing level after level. You move your player in one of the four directions with your keyboard to ‘fill’ a square. Once all squares are filled you have completed the level. Sounds easy, but as you move on things can get tricky ! Here is a screenshot to give you an idea of the game:

3. Maze Planet 3D. (Rated 8.9 by users)

I played a few games and enjoyed it. The 3D nature of the maze mean it takes a different skillset to solve since you are blind to what is around corners - or really around the horizon to be more accurate. No looking ahead to see which pathways are dead ends - you’ve just got to trial and error !

Here is a screenshot of the first level. You use a soccer ball to solve a planet maze made out of bricks. As you move forward, new planets and balls unlock.

4. Maze Discover. (Rated 9.4 by users)

Dig Dug and Mr Do vibes but from above at an angle. You have a shovel and you dig out or unearth pathways into a maze, gaining gold along the way…find a key and exit from the door, etc. There are merchants to spend the gold with along the way.

As you advance, you get a pick axe, find hidden passages and gems. Fun. More complex gameplay than the other entries in this list, especially as you advance into the higher levels.

5. Golf Maze. (Rated 9.1 by users)

This is a new game for March 2026 and it is a rotation/physics game where you rotate the playing surface to get the golf ball into the hole. Or multiple golf balls as you progress in the game.

Gameplay is what you think it would be. The early levels are easy and go by quickly. Some things you can’t touch…while other items will help you (typically buttons you need to run into). It is a fun, quick game where you move to the next hole quickly.

I find myself playing each of these games when I need a work break. Check them out. If you are a fan of mazes one of these games will be for you ! Each has different style of gameplay to check out. Happy gaming !

I’m going back to back iconic locations. Maze of the Week #229 features The Great Sphinx of Giza. This is my first maze of the week from Egypt, although I have done a maze of a certain famous King in the past. This is on my bucket list of places to visit, especially now that the GEM is open. We can’t be sure but it is believe that it was built sometime around 2,500 BC. Wild. I would love to see what it looked like when it was new. Check out this short video for historical information:

The maze: I did this in color and used shadows to give it more shape. The erosion of the stone made perfect walls to use to make a maze.
