Your mission...

Invisible maze

Create a maze that can’t be seen because it winds through your neighborhood. Create a map for your friends to use to find their way through the maze, and if someone manages to complete it without too many mistakes, give them a sweet prize.

Mission Information

Tips: You can draw your map in sand, in a book or on a smart phone. You could go extreme and draw an invisible maze by using invisible ink. Mazes need to have a few dead ends where people have to turn round, but don’t make it too tricky to start with or your explorer may give up! Think about including challenges like a scavenger hunt or imaginary dangers along the wrong paths to make your maze more interesting.

Geography: Mazes are designed to confuse. Some cities can also seem confusing to new visitors, especially when maps and signs look different. How many different routes through your maze are there?
Bonus Question!
On what island off the coast of Africa is this jagged maze of rocks? Tip: Visit this website to find out.
Mission Risk: High

High. The most daring of missions. Be sensible and don't take any big risks

Make sure that people following your map don’t have to put themselves in danger to complete the maze. Remember that roads can be deadly, so take extra care around these. Think of a suitable place to put the finish. Steep cliff edges, open sewage holes, crocodile nests and other deadly places should be nowhere near your maze!
