Maze Game — Help the Mouse Find the Cheese

🐭 About this game

Mazes are one of the oldest puzzles, and on screen they become a lively game. Every time the page builds a brand-new maze with exactly one path from the mouse to the cheese, so there is always something new to solve. Children move step by step with the arrow keys, with a swipe on a tablet, or with the big arrow buttons, and a yellow trail shows where they have been — stepping back erases it. Planning ahead, spotting dead ends and keeping calm when a path goes nowhere are all skills that also matter in maths and in coding.

🐭 Best for ages 4–10

Tips for parents and teachers

• Before moving, look at the maze from the cheese backwards — it is often easier.
• When you reach a dead end, go back to the last crossroads, not to the start.
• Start with the small maze, then try medium and big.
• Print our paper mazes for pencil practice away from screens.
