Sixteen by sixteen printable maze with narrow branching paths
Activity and answer key included

How to use this maze

Start at the top opening. Find the bottom exit without crossing a wall.

Sixteen rows make this a patient route-finding task. Scan a few passages ahead and remember the last branch you chose. Every route must stay within the walls and finish at the bottom opening; the second page shows the unique solution.

After the activity

Use the answer page to offer a hint at one junction instead of showing the whole path. Choose Patient explorer for a denser layout, or Turning trail for wider passages.

Print a clear copy

Choose US Letter for 8.5 × 11-inch paper, or A4 for 210 × 297 mm paper. Both editions contain the same activity and matching answers. Use portrait orientation and actual size. Page 1 is the activity; keep page 2 aside for checking. Print one sample before making classroom copies.

You may print copies for your family, class or tutoring group. Retain the JotOak attribution and share this page with other readers. Read the usage terms.
