How to Play hexagonal mazes?
Begin at the opening at the top of the big hexagon and follow the open passages from cell to cell toward the exit at the bottom. Each hexagonal cell has six sides, so a path can lead in up to six directions. When you hit a dead end, backtrack to the last junction and choose a different route until you reach the exit.
Use a pencil to lightly trace your progress and gently mark off dead ends so you can see which areas you have already explored without overcrowding the maze.
How does difficulty work in hexagonal mazes?
Difficulty in hexagonal mazes depends on the size of the big hexagon: the more cells on each of its sides, the more cells the maze holds and the longer and twistier the paths become. Each level is sized to have about as many cells as a square maze of the same level, from very easy to legendary, with more detours and dead ends at every step up.
Tips for solving hexagonal mazes
- Look at the whole honeycomb first and spot the long corridors heading toward the bottom.
- Remember that each cell can connect in six directions, so check every side before moving on.
- Use the right hand or left hand rule to follow one wall consistently.
- Mark off dead ends lightly to avoid revisiting them.
- If you get stuck, work backward from the exit to the entrance for a fresh perspective.
