What are Masked Mazes?
Masked mazes are specialized maze puzzles generated inside a custom mask usually a shape, silhouette, symbol, logo, letter, or pattern. Instead of a traditional rectangular grid, only the cells defined by the mask are used to carve the maze paths. This allows you to create visually unique and thematic mazes, such as mazes shaped like animals, holiday icons, numbers, characters, or branding elements.
Masked / Shaped Maze Uses
The masked/shaped mazes are useful in many contexts.
- Printable activity sheets: For kids or adults, for classrooms, home, therapy, or fun.
- Educational materials: Teachers can embed thematic mazes (e.g. animals, holiday shapes, letters) to make learning and practice more engaging.
- Puzzle books / printables: Because of customization and format export, creators can build full maze puzzle books, e-books, or printable PDFs.
- Custom gifts / party activities: The visual nature of masked mazes makes them suitable for themed gifts (e.g. holiday-shaped puzzles), party handouts, or branded materials.
Masked Maze Generator
Our online masked maze generator lets you create “masked” or “shaped” mazes, that is, mazes inside custom shapes rather than a plain rectangular grid. With this generator, you supply a shape or mask (e.g. a silhouette, symbol, icon, letter, or pattern), and the generator will carve a maze only within the “allowed” cells defined by that mask.
Key Features & Options
Here are the main features and customization options:
- Mask Input: Select a mask from the provided list.
- Grid Size / Cell Width: Control overall maze resolution: choose grid dimensions and cell width to adjust maze density.
- Algorithms: Several classic maze-generation algorithms are supported (e.g. Aldous-Broder, Kruskal, Prim, recursive backtracker), giving variety in maze structure and difficulty.
- Appearance: You can set line width, line-edge style (rounded or square), maze line color, and solution-line color.
- Start/Exit: Choose entry and exit sides (top, bottom, left, right, or random), and optionally show “start / exit” marks.
- Solution Generation: The generator can produce a solution path along with the maze itself.
- Multiple Output Formats: Puzzles (and their solutions) can be downloaded in a variety of formats: PDF (multiple page sizes), PNG, SVG.
- Unlimited Unique Mazes: Because the generator randomizes, you can create an unlimited number of distinct mazes, each unique in layout even if using the same mask.
Commercial Use
