How to Play 3D Maze

Overview

Navigate from the starting cell (marked A) to the ending cell (marked X) through a 3-layer maze. Move horizontally within layers and vertically between layers to find the shortest path.

Rules

  • 1Move horizontally to adjacent cells if there's no wall between them.
  • 2An open floor lets you descend to the same position on the deck below.
  • 3A sealed floor blocks downward movement.
  • 4You can move up only when the floor on the deck above is open.
  • 5Build a continuous path from A to X without revisiting cells.

Solving Strategies

Plan Ahead

Identify potential paths between layers before starting.

Use Both Views

2D view shows walls clearly; 3D view shows vertical connections.

Map Open Floors

Open floors are your bridges between decks. Map them out.

Work Backwards

Sometimes tracing from the end helps find the best approach.
