Maze Runner – Random Maze Game
Find your way out of a freshly generated maze in Small, Medium or Large sizes. Move with arrow keys, swipe or the D-pad; ask for the solution if stuck.
How to play
- 1
Choose Small, Medium or Large. A brand-new maze is generated each time.
- 2
Guide the runner from the top-left corner to the flag at the bottom-right.
- 3
Use the arrow keys (or W A S D), the on-screen D-pad, or swipe on the maze. A swipe runs along a corridor until the next turn.
- 4
Your path leaves a trail. Tap Show solution if you are stuck (your time will not count as a best).
Tips
- Keep one hand on the wall: following the left (or right) wall always leads out of a maze like this.
- Look ahead from the exit backwards — dead ends near the flag are easy to spot.
- On phones, swipes are faster than the D-pad because you run to the next junction.
About this game
Maze Runner gives you a new random maze every time you play. The maze is built in your browser with a depth-first algorithm that carves passages until every square is connected, so there are no loops and no unreachable corners — exactly one route leads from the start to the exit.
Choose from three sizes, then guide your runner with the keyboard, the on-screen D-pad or quick swipes that run down a corridor until the next junction. The trail shows where you have been, the timer starts with your first step, and the solution path can be shown at any time if you need help.

Questions
Does every maze have a way out?
Yes. The mazes are “perfect mazes”: every square can be reached, and there is exactly one path between any two squares, so there is always exactly one route to the exit.
Is this good for young children?
Yes. Small mazes are a gentle start for children; Large mazes are a real challenge for adults.
Is my best time saved?
Yes, your best time for each size is saved on this device, as long as you did not use Show solution.
