Maze Ideas Guide: The Scary Way

Hello Forumers!

“I need ideas for a maze!”

“Can someone give me maze ideas?”

“Hey, so I need ideas for..”

YES, i think I got it now.

I couldn’t believe my POOR EYESIGHT (cough cough)

When I saw that no one made a maze ideas guide.

SO I’m here to do just that :smiley:

Here you go, a very compliated guide for anyone who wants to make a MAZE!

Let us start out with THEMES!, then WHAT’s IN THE THEMES

Laser Maze


Go through a laser maze, but be careful, you don’t wanna hit the lasers!

Escape Room Maze


Can you Escape the Escape Room maze? Solve puzzles and crack codes while moving through the maze!

Candy Maze


Are you ready for a treat? Go through a tough but fun candy maze!

Medieval Labyrinth


SAVE THE PRINCESS! You must complete the maze, then fight a battle boss to win! Will you be victorious?!

Psychological/Dreamworld


A beautiful fantasy! What world will you land on?

Sci-Fi & Cyberpunk


WOAH! Dive into the future with this cyberpunk maze! What does your future hold?

Seasonal/Holiday


Allas, the holidays. MERRRYYYY- nah…

Haunted House


Who hasn’t had enough of the spooky season?!

Outer Space


A space maze? Get ready to explore the great wonders of outer space!

Jungle/Ruins


Hm, a jungle you say? I’m ready for the great outdoors!

Under the Sea


DIVE IN FOR A DEEP SEA ADVENTURE! (dude what am I doing atp)

Castle

This idea was provided by @Kormorant. I do not have a visual for this, but this could be a thing where you need to save someone from inside the castle, therefore following a maze, or just finding an escape for the castle.

Video Game

Idea provided by xlr8

Here is a visual from @AlexC !

THIS TOOK ABOUT 3 HOURS TO COMPLETE.

(I care about this community. A LOT)

Thanks for reading! Hope this gave you lots of new ideas!

Good themes I like the pictures, but there is one little problem about this guide, it just gives general ideas it doesn’t really expand upon what you can do with this. It’s really just pictures of places and themes and there is nothing about maze set ups or ideas about the layouts.
I think the thing the guide is missing is layouts and barricades or obstacles. You could mention layouts for mazes or obstacles in specific themes.
Other than this nice guide.

This is an IDEAS guide for a reason lol, I didn’t provide set up because that’s not what it is, but I could create this in the future. My main goal was to provide a visual idea of a maze game. Thanks for pointing it out.

Well I mean ideas for lay outs like a to the center maze of tricks you can add in it that’s all.
Obstacles can be considered ideas too but I understand your point.

Would multiple mazes connected by teleporters be in the Sci-Fi section, Dreamwolrd section, or it’s own thing?

I feel this is more of an idea catalog than a how-to guide.

Possibly. For them, you could add whatever you want, this is a visual guide for anyone to use. If you were to make that, I’d love to see it! (BE SURE TO CREDIT MY GUIDE- nah. you dont gotta its all you)

The left is a science lab, the right is a spaceship, the bottom is like a scrapyard.

Yeah, you can add it. Would it be in the Themes, or are you going to add a section called Modifiers or something like that? I’m asking because you said this:

I’m also asking because it could connect different themed mazes, so I don’t really see teleporters being a theme itself. Also the image of it you added isn’t loaded for me, so it might not be loaded for other people, too.

what about the backrooms? (i suppose its just a subgenre of psychological/dreamworld or whatever you would say)

or an shifting maze made using barriers (theres a layout and walls made using barriers that randomly activate and deactivate (but that would probably use a lot of channels))

btw
instead of using the more dangerous levels i think you could maybe use the much easier levels (class 0-1)
for the class 1 levels removing the monsters shouldnt impact the maze too much since entity encounters are a bit rare in those levels
the backrooms wiki is a great source for finding levels to use as inspiration, though its basically all fan made levels

Brilliant! See, I love people who reply like this! People can not only read through the guides, but read through the replies to see many more!

Backrooms is something different from Dreamworld, as it is a concept of a game, not a different reality.

@xlr8 changed
@xlr8 dont ask me :sob:
