    Default Project/Toy design idea

    Mazes !! Fun and frustration for the whole family


    Through another hobby, I do a spot of 3D design work, ShortR story, I came across these maze patterns. Maybe some juice for anyone looking for something different to experiment with.

    Idea ~ A nice one piece base with the 'walls' of the maze in a variety of timbers. Using these few initial patterns as a guide, you could make the 'walls' in standard sizes/blocks, so that the configuration can be changed. Maybe something for kids to take to school for a project..? see how long it takes their pet mouse to find the cheese..??

    If theres any interest, I have a few other ( more complex) patterns, that could be used as guides.

    Cheers

    another idea would be to do the board with a scroll saw , using relief cut for the walls.. that way you could just push them up.. if you separated into several walls you could even leave them unglued and push them up and down as you like, but then it wouldn't be for real young kids.

    Have you seen that game where one player is building the walls, while one is trying to get through it? Looks like fun.
