I think the answer is no but Alex is working on it. Bill M (youtuber with a series of Maze videos) always uses the color versions in his videos, so he might have them all saved in a folder.

Does anyone know if colourized versions of each page from the CD-ROM game are available on a google drive or something else like that?

I think Rawk is talking about posting Maze online in pdf form. The host of this website did not get permission to do that, which is why all the images are so low quality.

3. There are a handful of places where the text implies that the group is seeking the center of the Maze; they explicitly attempt to solve the Riddle of the Maze while in 45; the Guide then makes reference to them finding their way out. So it does seem like their goal is similar to ours in those respects. However, there is nothing that suggests that they are aware of a 16-step path or a clue that lies along it.

There is also no room where the narrative suggests they have been to the center and are seeking the way out, other than Room 45. To some extent, this is just a consequence of the narrative being intended to make sense on the way in. However, even rooms that can’t be reached until after Room 45 don’t make reference to having been to the center. So, we really don’t know what they got up to at that point. (Not that there’s a terribly coherent narrative leading up to that point either.)

2. I’m not aware of anything that can be stated about the nature of the (apparent] inhabitants of the Maze beyond pure speculation.

1. Not to my knowledge, though the subject matter has been much explored. A chart might be handy, though when it comes to making useful reference material, the community is pretty worthless. I mean, I’m not going to do it–are you?

I think that in most cases a sound can be connected to either the contents of a room or an adjacent room, but there are some outstanding mysteries here.

–The singing heard in Room 19 has no obvious source, nor any known significance.

–In Room 15, the thump and footsteps might be the rabbit running from the room, though in that case it is not clear where (and how) it shuts a door. It might also be something else entirely.

That’s all I can think of–is there another noise of note tyat you found mysterious?

Tell us more about The Blue Prince. You brought it up but didn’t explain how it relates to MAZE. Is it another puzzle book?

Love the Maze and the website! I have 3 questions — has anyone made a chart linking up the ‘noises’ heard behind doors/in the distance for each room and if it logically matches up with other rooms?

Also, ‘who’ are the other people seen in the Maze [outside our narrative group]? Like the painter, the two music players, the handstand guy with the staff guy, etc.

And is the ‘goal’ of the narrative group [being escorted by the guide] to get back out to room 1 and leave the maze?

Perhaps it might be important to have the original book rather than information on the internet, because there might be pieces of information not noticable by others. The cover of the book could have clues. There might be a page inbetween pages? Words or letters might be bold, or other kinds of clues.

From my understanding Puzzle books almost never waste their cover. Or typography is information, not style.

That Room 45 tells you: “You misunderstood how to read.”

Also from the information that I can find online, Christopher Manson has never said “No one solved it.” He has only allowed the puzzle to remain unfinished.

Any of you that has tried to solve the Maze, have you played a game called Blue Prince? From what I’ve understood by playing the game is that previous rooms in the maze might change the meaning based on what you might learn in other rooms. Or that they “key” to “go past” room 45 is elsewhere. That room 45 indicating to return to room 1, might mean that you need to go back from the beginning and check the rooms again.

* A room’s meaning is conditional on what you have already learned.

That room 45 structurally behaves like a tutorial interruption, reveals the rules or a permission gate. Telling you that your first reading is incomplete, that earlier rooms must now be reread with new constraints.

From my understanding thus far, Room 45 is the key that leads to a new door. The beginning of the real puzzle.

“The puzzle doesn’t unlock a door — it unlocks a lens.”
