A maze is a tour puzzle in the form of a complex branching passage through which the solver must find a route.

Description

The pathways and walls in a maze are fixed, and puzzles in which the walls and paths can change during the game are also categorized as tour puzzles.

Cretan labyrinth

The Cretan labyrinth is the oldest known maze.

Maze versus labyrinth

Technically the maze is distinguished from the labyrinth, which has a single through-route with twists and turns but without branches, and is not designed to be as difficult to navigate.

In everyday speech

In everyday speech, both maze and labyrinth denote a complex and confusing series of pathways.
