Maze of the Week #69 - Bodiam Castle Maze

Maze of the week #69 gives us our second castle from England with the Bodiam Castle (check out MoTW #64 - Leeds Castle). And this castle has a moat ! You can plan your visit on this website, or use the castle website to learn about the history of the castle from it’s initial building in 1385.

Bodiam Castle

The Maze: I went with black and white, which may have been a mistake since you can’t tell there is a moat ! I could color it in the future.

I hope you enjoy the maze. Download is available on the homepage.

And now that we got all of that out of the way…I changed the maze to improve it and made that into a case study. You can read all about that here (if this is day 1 of this blog post, April 24 it will not yet be visible - come back tomorrow to read all about it - it is worth it !)

Maze of the Week #68 - Welcome To Colorado Sign Maze

I made 19 sign mazes in 2022, but this is my first in 2023. Maze of the Week #68 is the Welcome to Colorful Colorado Sign. It is a simple, full color maze. While most welcome signs are standard, flat, metal road signs this sign is done with wood and sometimes stones. I like it.

Maze of the Week #67 - Taj Mahal Maze

My most popular mazes from 2022 were famous buildings from around the world. It inspired me to look for more buildings to maze like Maze of the Week #67, the Taj Mahal. Certainly this is a building that most of the world has heard of ! Completed in 1648, it is still an amazing structure located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Check out this video showing the grounds and inside !

Taj Mahal

Maze explanation: To add more detail to the structure I made this a poster sized maze. The size is 43 x 28 and it is difficult to solve printed on small pieces of paper. Also, because of the detail I had to work around a lot of things to create the maze - so I created 2 ! The main maze is from tower to tower, with a bonus maze in the central dome.

And the maze: Huge and black and white
