there’s always


another way in


HUMANS HAVE MEANDERED
through mazes for thousands of years,
whether they be ancient Egyptian labyrinths,
a Minotaur’s lair, passageways carved in
cornfields, or horrifying hedges in Stephen
King’s The Shining. Each puzzle’s objec-
tive is simple: Navigate through winding
corridors and dead ends to reach the
finish— that could mean you emerge on the
other side, or sit soundly at its center. In the
maze on the right, three distinct routes, each
originating from a different entryway, will
guide you to the middle. Can you traverse
them all? (Answers are on page 118.)
