If you have taken the challenge of trying to solve The Largest Arrow Maze in the World (probably) you understand why this series of posts exists. It is a maze that takes a long time to solve, and because there are no dead ends in an arrow maze you can feel like you are looping back to previous points constantly. Sometimes you make the right decision, only to be looped even farther back in the maze when a new decision is incorrect.
But, I find Arrow mazes to be more fun than a normal maze. Why ? Well, you cannot see the dead ends easily. In a normal maze you can see obvious wrong pathways quickly and never take them. You can also see loops much more easily that are meant to confuse you, the solver. Arrow ‘pathways’, can change direction in ways that if drawn with regular pathways would need an additional level ( weaving pathways) so paths can go under and over one another. And finally, because of the use of double arrows, and warps (although none are used in this maze) you can get out of tight corners and spaces.
Here are 5 hints to help you solve The Largest Arrow Maze in the World (probably). I also tell you what hint you will be getting so you do not need to use those that you do not need.
Hint #1 - The correct first move
The first move has 4 possible choices (actually 5, both moving to the right is a 1 move option since it returns you back to start). Here is the correct first move:
