Maze Resources: maze puzzles, corn mazes, and maze games
From ancient symbols of transformation to modern perplexing puzzles, here are some of my favorite maze resources.
Maze Websites
- Caerdroia, the Journal of Mazes and Labyrinths
- The web site of Caerdroia, the best journal on the history, design, and use of mazes and labyrinths, run by Jeff Saward. If you are interested in ancient labyrinths, this site is for you. Subscribe to the journal, keep abreast of labyrinth news, buy books, and much more.
- Alex Champion's Earthsymbols
- Since 1987 Alex has been making earthwork mazes using his knowledge of sacred geometry. Once you have experienced them, you may decide that you need one of his mazes in your backyard! Here is a photo of Alex with one of his creations.
- Cornfield Maze Company
- These guys do a lot of cornfield mazes in the US. More than 100 of them, at last count. Look for a maze in your neighborhood with their locator.
- Adrian Fisher Maze Design
- The site of outdoor maze designer Adrian Fisher, who has done much to popularize mazes worldwide over the past decade. One of his mazes is probably near you...

Directories of Maze Websites
There are three major directories of maze sites on the internet. You guessed it, they are: Google, Yahoo and DMOZ. I like DMOZ the best, but check them all out. DMOZ is otherwise known as the Open Directory Project.
If you want you can search DMOZ for any set of terms related to mazes, games, or puzzles:
