Circular maze generator: outer ring to center
A circular maze generator uses a radial layout rather than a rectangular grid. The start is located on the outside rim, while the goal sits in the middle. Moving inward is not always the right decision: some passages lead sideways around a ring before connecting to the next level.
How the circular maze generator works
Each ring is divided into angular sections with radial and circumferential neighbors. The circular maze generator carves a connected set of passages between those sections, verifies that every cell is reachable, and computes the actual solution. The number of rings changes with the size preset, while the angular sections keep paths readable in the exported SVG.
Circular maze generator uses
Try a small circular maze on a party invitation, a medium one as a printable challenge, or a larger one for older puzzle fans. Because its outer boundary is naturally round, it is suitable for circular badges, game sheets or decorative challenges. Print it with an answer key when you intend to distribute a set of puzzles.
Circular maze generator FAQ
Does the circular maze generator start in the center?
In this tool you start at the outside and finish in the center. Follow the green marker toward the pink marker.
Can I regenerate the same circular maze?
Yes. Enter the same seed and keep the shape, size and algorithm unchanged.
Does the circular maze generator have one solution?
Yes. The current radial algorithm generates a spanning tree, which gives a unique route between the two marked points.
