Printable mazes — Visitor Comments

July 17, 2004

The web comments in response to the free printable mazes have been piling up again, and today I was finally able to post and answer most of them. Some of the comments were hilarious! (thanks, hamster guy). But I really appreciate everyone's feedback — it helps me draw better mazes and gives me ideas for what people want from my website. Have a comment or question? I'd love to hear from you, so enter it at the bottom of this page.

Sincerely,

The Free Mazes — embarrassing site visitor comments

  • comments: Great Site...Perfect to keep my son busy while waiting for an appointment
  • comments: Thank you for these mazes!! I came across an old puzzle book of mine and the mazes fascinate me...I'm so addicted I couldn't wait to go to the bookstore and buy more...thanks a million for having some I can print out to beat the boredom of my phone job! These are awesome! :)
  • comments: I am a 5th grade teacher, and we are reading a story that begins on a Spanish Galleon. This maze will help me introduce the ship to my students and provide them with a great visual activity! May I reproduce it for my class of 22 students? I appreciate your work! Thanks, Karen
  • comments: Awesome!!! I teach and the kids love a challenge. Mazes are a great way to strengthen their visual discrimination. Beautiful work, thank you!
  • comments: awesome! i just walked my first labyrinth today, and i loved it...without going into the metaphysical, this is something i am now hooked on...
  • Christopher Berg: If you are interested in meditative labyrinths, make sure to check out the Labyrinth Society on the web.
  • comments: This is WONDERFUL! Artistic as well as challenging. I'll have to print two copies of each, one to solve and one to look at. Most of the mazes I've found on the web are simple and tedious geometric forms or crude drawings that lack sophistication. Yours are a delight to the eye! I'm going to download the GIF files snd make myself a Maze Slideshow Screensaver! KEEP THOSE MAZES COMING!!! AND THANKS!!!
  • comments: These mazes are great for our social studies classroom. Grades 7-12.
  • comments: Christopher, These are the most beautiful mazes I have ever seen. Thank you so much for posting them and for sharing them. Not only is it wonderful art, but it is a great way to stimulate the brain. :) Thanks again, Rosalva
  • comments: Love your mazes! I teach 5th grade and I always create a "Thinking Folder" for each student each year. The folder gives them something interesting to work on, think about, and try during their spare time at home or at school. Your mazes, I am sure, will be a great hit this year!
  • comments: These mazes are great keep up the good work. D. Riley
  • comments: These are great mazes and my son really loves them! It is even better because before he starts them, we talk about history and he becomes more inspired to learn about these places, people, etc. Wonderful! Thanks.
  • comments: Where do you find the answers to the mazes? I would like to use them for extra credit in my classroom for 7th graders.
  • Christopher Berg: The answers to most of these mazes are in the back of the Amazeing Art book.
  • comments: These mazes are challenging and a lot of fun! Thanks!
  • comments: i think your mazes are hard and fun. i like how you go through them and how the main shapes are very creative. how do you make mazes because i would like to make one of my own and give them to my friends?
  • Christopher Berg: I'll be creating a web page full of tips on drawing mazes soon, other people have asked for this too. Thanks.
  • comments: These mazes are definitely works of art. I have really enjoyed doing them. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us! Sincerely, nora hayter
  • comments: Wonderful site and I love the mazes. I was looking for some interesting mazes for a presentation class assignment. Your mazes will fit in nicely. Love your creativity!
  • comments: I think that these are some of the coolest mazes I've seen in a long time. I love a challanging maze and these are creative, fun and challanging.
  • comments: Beauiful! How do you get out of the Winged Guardian Bull? James
  • Christopher Berg: So you are stuck in the Assyrian maze? That's what I make them for, so you can get stuck :) But here's a hint: try solving it backwards.
  • comments: Which one do you consider the hardest maze?
  • Christopher Berg: Of all the mazes posted on the web, probably the Statue of Zeus at Olympia. In the book however there is the hardest of all, titled "Order, Chaos, and the Artistry of the Labyrinth"
  • comments: Absolutely incredible. I've never seen anything like these! i have printed out some for my kids (they like to be challenged). Of course I'll have to try one out as well. Thank you for sharing your talent. —VH from South Bend
  • comments: Thank you! My granddaughter need a picture of an ancient Egyptian cat.
  • comments: I think you have great ideas, I love this page
  • comments: I find this to be a wonderful diversion and stress reliever. Thanks for giving us mazes that we print well. —Rhonda
  • comments: this is just awesome!!!!!!!!! i m impressed by the creativity. it is soooo meticulous work. good job guys.
  • comments: I like this web-site but you need a little more... how do I say this... well, you need more of up to date mazes. Like oh... American things. Just an idea. Sorry if I ruined your day. Thank-you.
  • comments: Thanks for the wonderful art and mazes. I use them with my consumers and they really like them.
  • comments: You should know how your website has opened the whole world of fun and simultaneous critical thinking for myself and a group of 40 children that I care for at a private after school program. Some of these children from 1st grade to middle school have never experienced mazes of such substative nature, let alone any mazes ever. We started a "Maze Masterminds" Club and the kids ask for more! I will tell them about your book. I have one question, "Do you have even more advanced mazes available?" Thanks for great mazes! The art is very well done and aesthetic.
  • comments: I would like to say that your mazes are very, cool. My Art teacher asked me to find some mazes online. I will definately tell her about your wed site!
  • comments: THIS IS A WONDERFUL SITE THANK YOU
  • comments: do you have easier mazes please send some????
  • comments: its ok you need to do more mazes of animals
  • Christopher Berg: Maybe like hamster mazes?
  • comments: Your mazes are super! I haven't read through you entire site yet, but I wonder if you've considered marketing these to social studies teachers for use at school.... L.Savage
  • Christopher Berg: Well I sort of have considered that, but to tell the truth I haven't figured out how to reach school teachers as a group yet. I mean, how does one get one's work in front of social studies teachers? Are there certain magazines that you all read?
  • comments: i think that some of the mazes are impossible and retatrded such asthe Hanging Gardens and the Statute of Zeus Olympia
  • comments: this is the neatest idea for inspiring an educational appreciation of art!
  • comments: i think this is a great site but you should get more mazes of different things like animlas or sports, that would be really cool!
  • Christopher Berg: This site originally grew from a book project on the ancient world, so there are a lot of ancient world mazes. But I agree, more mazes on different themes would be great. I'll be adding some new stuff in the future.
  • comments: i want to know how can i make a good maze.step by step.i need to know what is the concept and how can i create a real architectural maze. thanks.
  • Christopher Berg: OK, I'll create a page with some tips on drawing mazes. That's a great idea! Thanks. Give me a few weeks.
  • comments: THANK YOU sooooooo much for sharing your mazes. My art students get more acquainted with art works while they make an effort to solve the maze. The kids love these! -- Stephanie, Grosse Pointe

  • comments: Wow! These are great! Did you make them yourself?! Can you make some more? How many others have you done?
    —Victoria (SA)
  • Christopher Berg: Lots and lots of mazes, more mazes than I can count now. I just finished a new maze for the State of California's "5-a-Day" healthy ad campaign (eat your fruits and vegetables folks). It was a departure from my usual style, it was a logic puzzle and a maze combined. I may do some more like this. Stay tuned.
  • comments: These mazes are amazing, they have given the year six students something to focus on after their SAT's national tests. Many thanks, they are definitely on par with Tesseracts mazes, well done! Jackie UK
  • comments: these things are hard and weird

  • Christopher Berg: Maybe I should do a maze of Tony the Tiger? (TM). Oops, I'd probably get sued. Darn.
  • comments: wow! Just beyond words! Simply amazing...Congrats.
  • comments: I make mazes myself, but now that i've seen yours my mazes are not so good i as i thought they were. i take my hat off to you, yours are the best i've ever seen anywhere.
    —randy
  • Christopher Berg: Well I'm not sure how long you have been drawing mazes, but I'll tell you: the first mazes I ever drew may have been just like yours are now. If you like drawing mazes, keep at it and you will get better and better.
  • comments: This site is fantastic! These mazes will make our 6 hour road trip alot more fun. Thank you!!!! Carla (Atlanta)
  • comments: Excellent website. Working with adolescents I've found that keeping them busy keeps them out of trouble and these should occupy them for a long time. Thanks!
  • comments: They look great . can you please get more mazes thanks
  • comments: This is an amazing website it has helped me keep my students busy while teaching them the origins of art.
  • comments: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful mazes. I was looking for some mazes for my girls and found some wonderful ones for myself.
  • comments: I have just stumbled across your site while looking for mazes for my 7 year old Daughter. Thank you for making these available. She will be learning a bit about the world while enjoying one of her favorite pass times.
  • comments: Pretty incredible
  • comments: I love your mazes it's so fun and so cool!!!!!
  • comments: where do you make the puzzles?
  • Christopher Berg: In my small office/art studio in Berkeley, CA. I have lots and lots of fine-tipped pens there, and its quiet.
  • comments: its very corny. this should be 4 all ages.
  • comments: OH MY GOD!!!!! GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!!!!!!
  • comments: I think your mazes are great they had me thinking hard but you should make a printable maze that is a pyramid.
  • comments: I love you'r mazes. The art work is fantastic and so vivid.
  • comments: these are amazing. I am almost 60 years old and look for ways to keep my mind processing and being chalanged. These are a lot of fun and helpful. Sincerely, William R.
  • comments: Hi, I tutor an emotionally disturbed 8th grade boy for an hour a day and your mazes were the key to for me to establish a rapport with him. Thank you for making them available.
    Sincerely, Jessica L.
  • comments: Have u got any easy mazes for little kids?
  • Christopher Berg: Try Activity Pad they have mazes for preschool kids.
  • comments: I think that they are all very well designed. And that it is amazing what you can do with a lot of lines.
  • comments: i think your mazes are great but i think u should post the answers to them and if you already do make them easier to find bacause im having trouble locating the answers. But over all i love your mazes .They are a perfect way to make a day go by faster.here great to do on rainy days also.
  • Christopher Berg: Thats a good idea, maybe I should post some answers. I think people might look at the answers first though, thus ruining the puzzles. Let me think about this.
  • comments: These are so wonderful! My 6th grade class is going to love them.Thank you so much for these great print-outs — Clea P., Olympia WA
  • comments: you need more easy mazes
  • comments: I think your mazes are very GOOD, keep up the GOOD work
  • comments: I printed some out and they were really cool. And i brought some in my classroom for my friends to do and they all loved them they said they were sort of hard. But to me they weren't as hard as they looked or as hard as i thought they were.
    Sincerly, Joe
  • comments: toooooooo easy!
  • comments: Wonderful!!! I will put a link to your site from mine for all cat lovers.
    Sylvie Forel, www.felinomania.com
  • comments: have you made some of pyramids?
  • Christopher Berg: Yes I do have a maze of the pyramids, but right now its only in the book.
  • comments: Your mazes are in an interesting shape. They really grab my attention.
  • comments: How the dickens did you do this? Andrew
  • Christopher Berg: Very slowly :) I draw them by hand, then scan them into the computer, which is where I turn them into devious puzzles. You can see the whole process on the CBS TV newsclip on the home page.
  • comments: Can you make them a little bigger? But other than that this is a great website to get mazes off of. They really give you a challenge and that is what I am looking for. This is a great website!
  • Christopher Berg: I fixed the technical problem that was making some of the mazes print too small. Now they are all full-page puzzles (download the pdf files).
  • comments: they're goooooooooooooooooood
  • comments: THESE MAZES ARE TOO HARD
  • comments: i think that this site is great. i have printed off so many. thankyou sooooooo much! you and the search engine www.google.com -Sarah L.
  • comments: your mazes are awesome how do you make them it takes me months to finish one!
  • comments: Amazing. Thank you.
  • comments: Your mazes are too small
  • comments: i think these mazes are the best around — darren
  • comments: comments:What a great idea! I love these. I would suggesting renaming your picture files - I couldn't print without saving them (the pictures came out too small to be able to actually DO the maze, so wanted to save them to double the size) But your file names are **.1.gif etc, once saved the .gif is dropped off and they're unusable till I fiddle.
  • Christopher Berg: This has been fixed, download the pdf files for full-size mazes.
  • comments: do you have anything that is not art????
  • Christopher Berg: hmmm...no, I guess not.
  • comments: This site is awsome, please grt more art mazes...
  • comments: These are fun and I will use them in my sixth grade class — Will
  • comments: I am the boss of you
  • comments: I think you should make eaiser mazes these are too hard for me i need them for my magazine i am making
  • comments: Do you have any mazes of hamsters?
  • Christopher Berg: Sadly, no.
  • comments: they suck, get a life
  • comments: How do you finish the Statue of Zeus at Olympia?
  • Christopher Berg: There is a trick to this maze — you have think outside the box (and that's a pretty big hint there...)
  • comments: they are really cool
  • comments: These are great! Make some more... it's like they say once they love one they love 'em all!
  • comments: Hello! Nice mazes you've got here. I do have a question about mazes, but it's not your ones. Do you know if there is a site where I can publish my own home-made mazes and see other peoples worksamples? —Daniel C., Boras, Sweden
  • Christopher Berg: Why not start your own site? Web hosting can be as cheap as $1 a month now.
  • comments: these are cool lol
  • comments: While doing a search for ships for my son's school project on the Spanish Armada I found this site. Needless to say he enjoyed the maze more than the project! I am back to get some more for him now (after much nagging).
  • comments: you have too long mazes
  • comments: these are amazing pictures u are a great artist
  • comments: they are good, i like the cat - justin
