Mazes have always had a special place in my heart.  As a child, always loved solving puzzles and mazes.  Children of the 80′s can certainly remember doing tons of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mazes…

With the invention of Flash and Shockwave, we are now able to play highly dynamic mazes that will make your brain (and your mouse hand) go crazy.  So with out further rambling, I present to you 5 of the most challenging and fun maze games online!

The World’s Hardest Game

While I believe that the world’s hardest games are actually found on the NES, this game certainly has made me rethink that.  The object is simple.  Using your keyboard, navigate your red square to collect all the yellow circles while avoiding the obstacles, then travel to the green zone to finish.  If only it was as easy at it sounds!  The levels are almost never as easy at they look at first.

They do provide check points and other handy planning tools, but when it’s all said and done, you’ll be annoyed as hell getting to the last 3 mm before the green zone and dying.  The World’s Hardest Game is only for the brave of heart!

Maze Frenzy

Maze Frenzy is another fun and challenging maze game.  The object is to navigate your little red dot through the maze using your mouse pointer as quickly as possible.  The first one is extremely difficult, and the second one will make you pull your hair out.  When you consider that these mazes are timed, it ads extra pressure!  If you think you have a super steady mouse hand and a great sense of timing, check out Maze Frenzy and post your best times.

Click Maze 2

Click Maze 2 has a lot to do with planning, visualization, and timing.  You can place your mouse anywhere on the map, and when you click, your red marker travels in a straight line to your pointer.

Each click counts like a stroke in golf; in fact, the game has a “par” number of clicks and rewards players who are able to complete the levels below par.

A lot of the challenge comes with getting your timing down perfect.  If you could see this image in motion, you could see that the long blue “tunnels” are moving rapidly, and you have to pass through at just the right time to not lose a life.

If you think you can get through more levels than me, try Click Maze 2 and let me know what level you get to (and how many points you get).

Eskiv

I have no idea what Eskiv stands for, but I do know how insanely addictive the game is!  While it isn’t your normal maze game, it does require you to have amazing path planning and object awareness.  When the game starts, you have a gray circle that you control using your keyboard.  You navigate through slightly small but faster moving circles while trying to collect as many squares as possible.  Each square you collect generates more small circles to dodge.  It can make your eyes start to cross very fast.  It’s not complex, but it’s a blast o play.  My best score in 15 minutes of playing today was 90, but I’ve gone well over 100. What’s your best score at Eskiv?

Tilt Maze

Tilt Maze is probably the easiest of these maze games to get started.  The object is to navigate your ball or balls to the finishing point as quickly as possible by tilting the maze.  Your mouse pointer is used as the method to control which way and how much the maze tilts.

As you Progress further into the game, you start to have more balls to work with and more obstacles as well (like holes in the maze).  By the time you get to level 13 you are dealing with 4 balls and/or multiple holes in on each maze.  Give it a try and see if you can become a Tilt master!

The Challenge

If you have time, give all the games a try.  Post your best scores here (links to screen shots are worth extra points) and see if you can beat other readers’ best scores!  Good luck!
