Did you know? While a maze has many dead ends to confuse the player, a labyrinth consists of a single meandering path from the entrance to the center.

Use these animated instructions to create your own 7 Ring Classical Labyrinth using the "seed pattern" (see below).

Build and then solve a maze in the Rat Maze applet from the artificial intelligence lab of Carleton University. This simulation of a trainable, hungry rat searching for food in a maze starts with a ten by ten grid. Design your own maze by clicking on the walls to be removed. Pieces of cheese (as many as you wish) are then placed around your maze. Determine the rat's running strategy and ability to learn using a learning mode called Neurosolver. The rat can even be manually trained.

Try Play A Maze. Simply set the game timer from twenty to 190 seconds, and then click "Start." Use your mouse to push the red dot around the maze to capture the ten blue dots. For a more complex game, try AMaze Game Progressive - which comes with twenty levels of difficulty in addition to the selectable timer.
