From the time I started this website I have tried to create books to pull together Maze Collections for people who love to solve mazes. I also have done some monthly themes of different maze types that naturally made for a good book. As I made the books I enjoyed the challenge of creating meaningful content that was both cohesive and engaging, I also got to practice making books and book covers. The more I made the better I got. Good enough to make books for Amazon. But that is not what today is about. Today is about the 11 Maze books you can download here on the website. Plus 6 Additional monthly collections I made into books for a total of 17 free downloadable books on the site !!! This means if you download them all there are 646 different mazes available just from the books below (plus 151 word puzzles) !
My first book was made for Kids, My Alphabet Maze Book. It is a book of each letter of the alphabet plus the numbers 0-9. Each page has the letter/number as a maze and an example of a word that starts with the letter mazed or a number of items mazed for the number pages. Plus each letter has a space to practice writing it. So each page has multiple uses !! Check out the example page for the Letter H Maze.

My next group of maze books dealt with the maps of each of the states in the United States. I named the more difficult state mazes The United States Road Trip Maze Book. It contains 51 pages and mazes, one for each state plus Washington DC. The example maze is a New York Maze to give you an example of the difficulty.

If you are looking for a more educational state maze book then you are looking for the below United States State Capitals Maze Book. It was made with Middle school children in mind. Each mazes goal is the state capital so it is a way to learn them. Each page also includes some other state facts. Check out the example of the Ohio Maze below.

I went through a phase of making map mazes, and similar to the state capital mazes, I made a book of each European country, again ending in the countries capital called The European Road Trip Maze Book. This includes a quiz at the end of the book to match the country to its capital. A nice way to learn the countries of Europe and the largest and most important cities by country, and what each borders ! Check out the example country Germany below.

After making my ABC book I did a follow-up for children to help them learn their colors called The Learn Your Colors Maze Book. It covers the 12 main colors and has multiple mazes per page. as you can see in the Red example below.
THE LEARN YOUR COLORS MAZE BOOK
12 pages, 65 mazes
Age: Children
Size: 1442 KB

I experimented with making mazes from common patterns and thought a book of mazes from them would be nice. I called it The Pattern Box Maze booklet. It features 29 full color pattern mazes in a booklet size. I think the Greek Key Maze is a good example of mazes in the booklet. At first glance it doesn’t seem like a maze.
THE PATTERN BOXES MAZE BOOKLET
29 pages, 29 mazes
Age: All
Size: 564 KB
29 Pattern inspired mazes in booklet format (A6, or approx 6x4). Try your hand at solving the Argyle maze. Can you solve the Camouflage maze ? That isn’t just a pattern, it’s a solvable maze !
I had a box maze phase. Keeping the border and structure relatively similar and then experimenting with how I filled the space with a variety of designs and constructions to make the maze. Eventually I had made enough to create another booklet, The 50 Boxes Maze Booklet. This booklet is made for maze lover’s who get bored easily with similar mazes back to back - this is all about variety !
THE 50 BOXES MAZE BOOKLET
50 pages, 50 mazes
Age: Adult
Size: 325 KB
50 unique “Box” mazes in booklet format (A6, or approx 6x4)

My last free downloadable maze book is not a maze book (anymore). It is A Word Puzzle Book. Originally done as 151 different mazes I felt the maze portion was distracting to the word puzzles, so I scrapped 3 different books and revised them into 1 new book with NO Mazes. I think it is a much better book now. Can you tell what the book covers solution is ?
A WORD PUZZLE BOOK - REVISED MEGA EDITION !!
26 pages, 151 word puzzles
Age: All
Size: 1,421 KB
151 Word puzzles of common sayings, phrases and idioms, previously collected in 3 volumes, now combined into 1 Mega volume with revisions and improvements !!
That is an overview of each of the free downloadable books from the book section of the website, but I have also done more books that pull together content from my daily mazes into themes. Let’s look at those books now.
In February 2020 I did a month of Warp Mazes, enough to make A Warp Maze Booklet. They aren’t particularly difficult or exciting, but they are a change of pace.
A WARP MAZE BOOKLET
29 pages, 29 warp mazes
File Size: 346 KB
Features each daily maze from February 2020. Warp mazes allow the solver to jump between points in the maze. Each maze gets progressively harder. Separate 4 page answer sheet available if you get stuck.
March 2020 meant a month of Line Leads Mazes. Great as a kids activity. As you move through the A Line Leads Book, things get more difficult.
A LINE LEADS BOOK
32 pages, 32 line leads mazes (including the cover)
File Size: 802 KB
Features each daily maze from March 2020. Line Leads mazes are all about the initial choice. Recommended for Kids of most ages !
April 2020 brought a month full of Puzzle Mazes. If you want to think before you make each movement in a maze, this is the book for you. The Puzzle Maze Book is all about color. It is also the first book where I spent extra time working on the cover.
THE PUZZLE MAZE BOOK
30 pages, 30 puzzle mazes
File Size: 847 KB
Features each daily maze from April 2020. Puzzle mazes are all about following directions to determine which directions are possible, THEN reaching the goal based on those possible moves !
July was a Weaving Maze Book that has been retired (A larger book is now available on Amazon), but August 2020 was dedicated to The Slide Arrow Maze Book. These are VERY DIFFICULT to solve going from start to finish. The size and the fact that most mazes have only 1 solution mean your chances of solving these quickly are basically zero.
THE SLIDE ARROW MAZE BOOK
34 pages (includes 3 solutions pages), 31 Slide Arrow mazes
File Size: 519 KB
Features each daily maze from August 2020. In an Slide Arrow Maze you start on the red arrow and slide across the maze until you reach the goal. You may move onto any arrow in the direction the one you are on points (but no jumping gaps). These are VERY difficult !
September 2020 brought us The Escape Maze Book. I think these mazes, which require you to escape from the center of the maze are fun and challenging. This just might become a large book in the future.
THE ESCAPE MAZE BOOK
33 pages (includes 3 solutions pages), 30 Escape mazes
File Size: 388 KB
Features each daily maze from September 2020. In an Escape Maze you start within the walls of the maze and your goal is to escape to the outer wall. Often Escape mazes have multiple outer wall exits (although only 1 is the real solution).
January 2021 Brought us a new theme, the Racing Maze. Meant to be a printed maze that is solved by 2 people at the same time. Mazes are easy and targeted at kids, but the last few are done in a Weaving Maze style and are more difficult. All mazes are meant to be solved quickly !
THE MAZE RACING BOOK
30 pages, 30 Racing mazes
File Size: 365 KB
Features 30 daily mazes from January 2021. Find a friend and challenge them to a maze race ! Each maze is formatted on regular size paper.
February 2021 was a new type of maze, the Hidden Message Trail Maze. The nice thing about these mazes are you get clues to help you solve them. As a solver you still need to move from Start to Goal, but you a re not avoiding walls or dead ends, but gathering letters along the way to spell out a message. Great if you like both puzzles and mazes !
THE HIDDEN MESSAGE MAZE BOOK
28 pages, 29 Hidden Message Trail mazes
File Size: 445 KB
Features daily mazes from February 2021. Each maze has a hidden message with up to 3 clues: 1 - The maze object, 2 - The type of saying and 3 - The length of the words. If you want to make your own - how to make a hidden trail maze gives you step by step instructions.
