A random maze generator.
As of April 2026, Maniacal Maze is a WordPress game plugin with 20 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 5.7K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2018. Last updated 7 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Dinosaur Game.
A place to practice my code by developing a maze generation program. I hope to revisit a 16 year old project I made by starting fresh with a CSS framework, and as a WordPress plugin.
Version 3 changes the frontend so that you make square mazes.
These mazes are now solvable via mouse click, arrow keys or touch on phone.
Version 2 draws the entire maze as a single image which can be downloaded. The maze should look good across multiple devices, depending on the theme. I added a that and end color so you can actually print and solve these!
Version 1 creates a random maze, and using divs, should display well on most-sized screens, including phones.
Next I am considering ways to add interactivity!
I’d like to add more options, too!
