The pathway layers can be turned off, leaving only the maze itself: The completed mazeĪt this point in the maze design, it is important to get someone to test the maze. Now the grid lines crossing the red lines are cleared, in the same way the correct path grid lines were cleared. Here is the maze with the false paths sketched: Sketching the False Paths on the Maze Grid Some false paths should also have their own branches – just to make them more confusing. ![]() I Create a new layer to sketch them, then draw the false paths on the grid.įalse paths should not be too short – that makes them obviously wrong. Now that the true path is finished, the false paths are planned. I find that using the “delete intersecting entities” option works the best for this job. I clear the correct pathway by deleting all the grid lines that cross this path. Now the pathway layer is locked, so it can not be deleted. The correct path is sketched on the maze grid, using a new drawing layer. If the path is too long, there is less room for incorrect paths, and the maze will again be too easy. If the path is too short, the maze is too easy. The path starts at the entrance, and winds around in an indirect path to the finish. I create the path so the entrance and exit are near each other, on one side of the maze, so children entering the maze will finish it near where they started. Now that the blank grid has been set up, it is time to create the correct pathway through the maze. Finally, a multiple copy of the first row creates the 30 x 20 grid. Then I make a row of 30 boxes using the “multiple copy” option. I Set LibreCad to units of yards, then snap to the grid. The 30×20 grid of squares makes an actual maze that is 90 feet long by 60 feet wide. This creates a maze that is big enough to be challenging, but small enough to be do-able. I have found that a 30 x 20 grid of squares is a good fit for our needs. The maze is designed as a grid of boxes, each box is 3ft x 3ft (or 1 meter x 1 meter). There is a bit of a learning curve to using this program, but once mastered, unique mazes can be designed fairly quickly. This is a generic CAD program that adapts well to maze making. When I design a maze, I now use the free LibreCad Software. The more planning and preparation, the easier maze construction will be. The maze needs to be planned carefully before field construction. This is the maze from the 2013 fair: Family Fun Fair 2013 Maze People walking through the 2013 Caution Tape Maze Planning the Maze Here is the detailed post for the 2012 Family Fun Fair Maze. Every year, both children and parents learn about the bible, while having lots of fun!įor each fair, I enjoy building a walk through maze, using stakes and caution tape. The Family Fun Fair is a one day event with bible lessons, puppets, crafts, and lots more. The 2014 Rehoboth Baptist Church annual Family Fun Fair will be on August 16th.
