Maze of the Week #101 - Krampus

December 4, 2023

And so we continue. After a milestone with Maze #100, we keep moving along as transition into our Holiday mazes with Maze of the Week #101 of Krampus. This is not my first maze of Krampus, but it is my best, using a comic book style I started with MOTW #96 during Halloween. I would also like to wish you a happy Krampus Day on December 5. You can read about the history of Krampus on the Wikipedia page. Interested in free holiday mazes for kids ?

The Maze: Comic book style, easy, free hand drawn walls. Not someone I would want to meet in a dark alley - or even a well lit one !

I hope you enjoy the maze. Maze download is available on the homepage. Please check out my YouTube channel where you can watch this maze being made and solved!!

Coming next week:

Another holiday themed maze

You Won't Believe these Ice and Snow Mazes !

December 2, 2023

You know about hedge mazes and corn mazes, but have you ever been to a maze made of ice and snow ? Well they pop up form time to time around the world (always in the Winter months and in cold climates). Some of them are yearly installations while others we may never see again. Since it is December this is a good time to search for them on your local news !

Let’s take a look at 5 Ice and Snow Mazes:

Ice Palace Maze in Stillwater, Minnesota

This maze, located outside the Zephyr Theatre, was made of approximately 500,000 pounds of ice. It features ice sculptures, ice thrones for photo ops, and ice slides. Watching this maze be made on YouTube is great ! But, now you can find the maze in Eagan…

Minnesota Ice Maze at Viking Lakes, Eagan, Minnesota

This maze of ice is made by the Minnesota Ice company - “the nation's leading manufacturer of sculpture-grade ice and is the Midwest leader in artisan ice production.”. Made from over 1 million pounds of ice this maze can be found at 2645 Vikings Cir, Eagan, MN 55121. Great video showcasing the maze !

Snow Labyrinth in Zakopane, Poland

If someone asked you if you wanted to visit Snowlandia would you want to go ? I say yes, if just to check out this wonderful maze made of snow, the largest snow maze in the world, spread across 2,500 square meters.

Ice Maze at CityCenter in Washington, D.C.

This maze, located in CityCenterDC, was the largest clear ice maze in the United States at the time of its construction. Visitors could walk through it for free during a limited time.

Arctic Glacier Ice Maze, USA

At 37 acres large, this maze was created by Cory B Livingood. Located in Matanuska-Susitna, I hope this maze comes back again ! You can listen to information about this maze and it’s construction directly from Cory !

6 Stunning Pieces of Maze Art showing Cleveland, Ohio

November 30, 2023

If you are familiar with this site you know you get a new piece of maze art every week. Initially, these mazes were of signs or landmarks around the US, but more recently I have added many more international destinations (6 amazing Mexican Mazes). As I walk around and take in my surroundings I sometimes see things and think - I should make a maze of that. So I take a picture and make a maze out of it. If it is good you will eventually see it on the site ! I have happened to live in Cleveland, Ohio for much of the last few years so it is the topic of a lot of my mazes. Today I pull together my best maze art from Cleveland, Ohio. All mazes are available for download by clicking the link in the header.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum Maze

One of my most popular mazes, and the winner of maze of the year in 2022. Like most mazes this looks best printed large. I made it in two colors, and it was made from a photograph I took of the museum. If you ever are in Cleveland to visit, this should be one of your stops.

Playhouse Square Sign Maze

Most people do not know that the theatre district in Cleveland is the 2nd largest in the country after Broadway in NYC. I lived a block from this sign and could see it from my window so it made a natural subject matter for a maze.

The Free Stamp Maze

A quick walk from the Rock Museum located in a downtown park. This stamp has a nice story you can read about here. The Stamp is made of aluminum and steel and weighs 70,000 pounds !

Peter B Lewis Building Maze

Located on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, this style of architecture of this should remind you of many buildings because it was designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry. The Peter B Lewis building houses the Weatherhead School of Management, and it opened in 2002. This is just one side of the building - but it is quirky from most angles !

The Agora Sign Maze

One of my first sign mazes. I love this sign. If you live around Cleveland chances are you have seen a concert or comedy show here at some point.

Severance Hall Maze

The Cleveland Orchestra is one of the best in the world. This is where they make their home. A different style than my other mazes and one that I revised after an initial rendering.

BONUS: Pro Football Hall of Fame Museum Maze in Canton, Ohio

Located down route 77, this museum is the center of the football world every August when the induction ceremony takes place and the first preseason game of the season happens. Everyone should visit at some point who is a fan of football. The maze is more difficult than most other ones on the site.

I hope you enjoy these Cleveland mazes. I’m sure I will make more in the future !

This street was near where I lived in Mexico. One day I took a picture and made it into a maze. I hope you like it !

Templo de Sangre de Cristo Maze

The first of my church mazes from Oaxaca. I really like how this maze came out. Originally in black and white, I recently added color and shadows to the maze.

Monte Albán Maze

If you visit Oaxaca, this is the reason. A quick trip outside of the city, this maze is one of the many impressive structures at the site. Click on my original post to see my pictures of the site (and download the maze). This maze also includes shadows !

Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán Maze

Maze of the week #100. This one took me a few months to make as I kept going back to the church to capture more details. It is also one of the largest mazes on the website. Eventually I switched it from a black and white maze to a full color !
