How Corn Mazes are Made - A Collection of Corn Maze Videos

It is October and that means we are on the road (Elm St.) to Halloween (How about some Halloween mazes?). That also means it is time for haunted houses - typically a type of labyrinth - think about it and also corn mazes. Let’s talk about corn mazes a bit. I spend a lot of time talking about what labyrinths you can visit around the US using the wonderful website Labyrinth locator. Well did you know there is also a website that features corn mazes ? The map can be found here on the mazeplay site. So, hopefully you can find a maze to visit near you !

Previously I went through my favorite labyrinth and maze videos (My Favorite Maze and Labyrinth Videos), and it included some really cool cats, a hamster and lots of information. I enjoyed it. But there was one thing that I didn’t cover in that post and that was Corn Mazes (or Maize Mazes). The reason ? Because there are a LOT of really fun videos to watch on the subject and I thought they needed their own post. This is that post.

My Favorite Corn Maze Videos

Let’s start with the back office look at how these get designed and made (or maybe more accurately plowed). But I love to see them being made ! Really amazing work. This video is of the Treinen Farm in Lodi, Wisconsin. You can plan a visit here and on their site I learned they had won an award as one of the 10 best corn mazes in the USA !

Here is a great story of a family farm with how they have used a corn maze to keep a farm in the family as an additional income stream. Located in Thurmont, Maryland at Lawyer’s Winterbrook Farm the farm also features 30 foot junkbots ! You can plan a trip here.

Here is a quick 3 minute conversation that speaks to how Maze Play uses GPS to cut a corn maze. This features a maze from Mark’s Melon Patch in Albany, Georgia. Their corn maze is open in October and November each year and you can plan a trip here or just visit to pick up some pumpkins !

And this shows some great aerial views of corn mazes that look like art ! Lots of variety and really interesting designs ! Features the work of landscape artist Will Sillin on Mike Wissemann's farm in Massachusetts.

And this is just a small sampling of what you can find about corn mazes on YouTube. Of course now your algorithm is changed and they will pop up for you automatically. Enjoy !! I find myself getting lost in this type of content and then it goes away for awhile….and then months later it is back !

A Corn Maze, but not the kind we are talking about today.

Give your YouTube Algorithm a Maze Boost

My algorithm in YouTube may or may not be embarrassing depending on how you feel about a few topics. I find it relaxing to watch rugs being cleaned and lawns being mowed, and then there’s the weird stuff. But, I do have my own YouTube channel and so I am lucky to be recommended a lot of maze videos. Here are a few I have collected recently that are worth a share.

First we have this older video (but new to me) from VSauce. Great thumbnail BTW !

And we have a video from National Geographic about mazes that features a maze at the National Atrium Museum in Washington DC.

And I just had to add this long video (all 44 minutes of it) from Forge Labs that features a giant haunted maze in Minecraft.

And you can’t have YouTube without MrBeast. Here are 2 videos of a $10K maze challenge.

And of course, while all of the above creators have millions of subscribers, I currently have less than 10. Here is a video of one of my mazes being made. I like it.

Watching these videos should put you on the path to even more maze videos.

My Most Creative Maze Solution

As a maker and designer of mazes I appreciate a good solution to a maze. My favorite mazes are all fun to solve and nice to look at. I think I have done both with this maze of the Museo Soumaya in Mexico City, Mexico. I featured the maze on this website as Maze of the week #53. It has it’s own section on the website, and I have written about the maze before, so why the extra attention ?

Well I am a fan of hidden message mazes. A maze that looks normal, but the solution has a message for the solver. Here are 2 blog posts where I show you how to make your own (2 different types):

How to Make A Hidden Message Maze

How to Make a Hidden Message Trail Maze

And of course I made some templates (4 different) to help you make “mazed” letters if you are interested in creating your own mazes:

Hidden Message Maze Letter Design templates

Or maybe you aren’t interested in making mazes and just want to challenge yourself by glancing at a maze and trying to figure out the message hidden inside. I did this in 4 parts:

Hidden Message Challenge - Part 1

Hidden Message Challenge - Part 2

Hidden Message Challenge - Part 3

Y tambien en Espanol !

And if you did not click through to the challenges here is one of them for fun. What does this hidden message maze say ?

How did you do ? Either way, that is an example of a hidden message maze.

By now you may have forgotten what brought about that sidebar. Well the question about the Museo Soumaya - “why the extra attention ?”. Well, because I gave it a creative solution and that solution is even more hidden than a typical maze I make. I dare say it is completely hidden ! Let’s look at the maze. Do you see the answer ?

Or just watch the solution on my YouTube channel below. When do you figure out the surprise ?

If you enjoyed that video. I show the making and solving of my mazes on my new channel. I release a new maze every Monday and most (but not all) have each of the 2 videos.
