Triangle mazes where the choice changes at every step

Three ways out of a cell sounds easier than a square's four and is not. The cell turns upside down at every step, so the three directions on offer are never the same two moves running — a child cannot settle into keeping right.

How it works
Ages6+TypeMazes

Three ways out, and they keep changing.

A triangle maze generator, printable as a PDF, where the cell turns upside down at every step. Pick a corridor width and whether you want one maze or two, and generate. The arrow on the left is the way in, the star on the right is what Mintee lost off his cap, and exactly one route joins them. The corridors run on the diagonal, so the sheet looks nothing like a square maze even before anyone starts solving it.
