Maze

Maze

What is it? 

A maze is passage in which the participant must find the correct route through - it traditionally has many twists and turns with dead ends with only one exit. There are many types of maze (mirrors, 3D, rooms) that are available for the public to access - some can be extremely complex, while others are relatively simple. 

What does it involve?

Completing a maze can involve a fair amount of logic and puzzle solving if you wish to approach it that way, but can also be finished by just wandering through the maze until you eventually find the exit! 

Why do it and what are the benefits?

Mazes are mainly a recreational activity that give each participant the satisfaction of completing their passage through successfully. They can also help with group bonding if people complete the maze together and individual confidence from completing a maze in the quickest time.

What equipment do we need?

Visiting a maze shouldn't require any equipment - the only thing you will need is willing participation.

Who is it suitable for?

Groups of any age should be able to enjoy a trip out to a maze - they come in such varying levels of complexity and style that there will be one to suit everybody. 

Costs?

Admission to a maze will vary greatly depending on their size, status and complexity. Many temporary festivals erect a maze to attract tourists which will be relatively cheap, and established mazes in places like stately homes will be more expensive to access - but a better experience!

Issues/Things to think about? (unsuitable for age groups, medical conditions etc)

Getting lost in a maze could be troubling for younger children or those with anxiety issues, so be aware of the groups individual needs when visiting a maze!

How do we include?

Many of the larger, more well established mazes have great access for those with disabilities - however, you should always check the specific venues beforehand.

Doing it abroad?

Some of the largest and most famous mazes in the world are found abroad, so research your destination beforehand
