I ant to thank everyone who took the time in December to vote on the maze of the year for the site. In 2022 the winner was the Rock n Roll HOF Museum Maze. I like to see how people vote, and the results always surprise me. This year was no different. There were 10 mazes that were eligible to vote for and all of them received votes. 7 of the 10 received a first place vote and 6 mazes got most of the votes. Here is the video showing the maze finalists:

Out of the 52 mazes of the week I made this year let’s look at the top 5 based on your voting!

ALMOST - Museo Soumaya Maze - this maze has my best solution, and got a lot of votes, but just missed out on the top 5!

5. Templo de Sangre de Cristo Maze

Based off of a picture of the church I took.

4. Chicago Theatre Sign Maze

I always have sign in the top mazes, and this year it is this Chicago theatre sign.

3. Bodiam Castle Maze

This maze was one of my first case studies. It is also the first maze where I did a reflection in the water.

2. Taj Mahal Maze

Not surprised that this double maze of a famous building got a lot of votes. The first maze is from tower to tower and the second is within the central dome.

And now the #1 vote getter for the year. This maze took me the longest to make and has the most detail so I was not surprised it won…

1 - Santo Domingo Maze

So that concludes the year. Thanks again for your votes. All mazes are available for download on the site.

In 2019 I posted a new themed maze each and every day. We voted on our favorites each month and at the end of the year we picked our 2019 Maze of the year ! I had fun learning what everyone liked and was often surprised by which mazes got votes and which didn’t.

For 2020 I switched things up. While I still posted a daily maze, each month had a themed maze construction type. At the end of each month I made a free downloadable mini book of the months mazes. Like this Line Leads Book from March. Or this Puzzle Maze Book from April. I really enjoyed making these mazes/books but they didn’t make sense for monthly voting for best mazes. I was able to post voting for May and June since those mazes had a lot of variety. But the rest of the months, nope.

So today I will present to you MY favorite mazes of the year (including ones not posted as a daily maze) and once again let you vote on which one you think should be the maze of the year !

#6 Smiley Face Weaving Maze

I made a lot of weaving mazes this year. Enough for 2 different 100 page books !! This is one of my favorites. A nice Smiley Face Maze.

#5 “Kitchen Sink” Arrow Maze

I also made a lot of Arrow Mazes. This is my favorite. I call it a kitchen sink because it contains an undefined Start/Goal (You need to figure out which is which), Warp Zones (to move across the maze), Double Moves (to jump grids and spaces). I think it’s a fun one !

#4 Jet Fighter Maze

The Jet Fighter Maze was posted to celebrate Aviation Maintenance Technician Day on May 24, 2020. The grid maze construction works well with this maze.

#3 Penny Maze

This US Penny Maze was posted for Lucky Penny Day on May 23, 2020. For a grid maze there are actually a lot of options, making the maze more difficult.

#2 Snowman Weaving Maze

I posted this one in December for the holidays. A new take on the weaving maze for me. I like it.

And my personal favorite from 2020 :

#1 Playhouse Square Sign, Cleveland, Ohio

I used this maze to show an example of maze art construction in a blog, I made it based on a photograph and to me it is my favorite maze of the year !!
