What you’ll build

Design a maze with one way through and plenty of dead ends. You'll draw the true path first, then add tricky branches. Build the hedges in the world square by square, add a gate and a prize, test it on foot and invite a family member to try.

Finish line: Your maze has one way through, you've tested it, and a family member has tried it.

Bonus challenge: Add a secret shortcut only you know about, hidden behind a block of leaves.

You’ll need

  • Leaves
  • Fence gate
  • Lanterns
  • A prize block or item
  • A family member to try it

You choose

  • Maze size (15 × 15 is plenty)
  • Wall block (leaves, stone, wood)
  • Prize in the middle or at the exit

Stuck?

  • Make walls at least two blocks high so nobody can jump over or peek.
  • Walk it, don't fly. That's the only way to check there's just one way through.
  • Leaves you place yourself don't disappear, so they make a perfect hedge.
