❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is a maze?
A connected network of paths bounded by walls with a start and exit, designed to create choices, twists, and dead ends.
What is the right-hand rule, and when does it work?
Keep your right hand on a wall and follow it as you move. It works in mazes where all walls connect to the outer boundary, but may fail in mazes with loops or isolated sections.
What is the difference between a maze and a labyrinth?
A maze has multiple paths and dead ends; a labyrinth typically has a single winding path without branching.
What is a dead end in a maze, and how should you handle it?
A dead end is a path that leads to a wall with no exit except to backtrack; when you reach one, backtrack to the last junction and try a different direction.
