" This comment caught my eye again, these many months later. I think it's a reasonable enough suggestion to merit someone saying, "That's a reasonable suggestion." "

" For what it's worth, I think it's hard to imagine it's not meant to be read as a black cat. "

" Huh, I'd never noticed that. I can barely see it in the picture on the website, and I don't know where my physical copy has run off to, so I won't weigh in on whether that cat could plausibly be interpreted as a black cat... "

" Room 27 has an image of a (presumably) black cat hanging outside the door to room 13, as a reference to traditional bad luck superstitions. "

" I love this! But...what does room 27 have to do with any of this? "

" 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. "

" Forgive me if I missed it but I haven’t seen anyone mention the connection to the phrase “turn over a new leaf”, the other symbols above the doors are all more straightforwardly things you turn over to use, so it only makes sense that it’s... "

" 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.... "

" 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... "

" It has been so interpreted, reasonably so, though it's not completely clear, on the face of it, that making reference to sounds from an adjoining room is meant as a clue to travel there. The line between "non-clue connection" and "misleading clue" is completely blurred,... "

" 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? "

" Whoops - nevermind on the counting of now! It does not equal 42. Oh well. Not necessary anyhow… "

" 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... "

" Hello! First timer here, and not sure if this one is too obvious to be plausible, but seeing as how the group hears either hitting or splitting (which the Guide attempts to obscure), and given how on the path they’re guaranteed to have passed by... "

" In posts below, it’s been pointed out (by vewatkin I believe, and others) that the first line of text could either refer to the third crown door or to the crown of the bald dude’s head. The last four words of the first line might... "

" 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... "

" 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... "

" I wonder if the message to take from the duck is to count all versions of “eye”s on the room walls, both portrait related and letter “i” related. The duck has 1) the one eye profile, 2) the two wheels that look like a forward... "

" I don"t recall hearing that before, certainly worth mentioning. "

" Aria, I think you’re on to something by seeing that the pipes make a T that points to the number 4 on the 4th row of the math sign, and the trowel starts with T and points to the correct door 4. Here’s a bit... "

" I think interpreting the sign to read square odds is amazing and that making the connection to room 5 is warranted. Here’s some clues that build on that. The poster of what I assume is an oak tree is very similar to the tree in... "

" may be easy enough to find as to have been mentioned before, and may be silly enough to be not worth mentioning, but STOP can be trimmed to TOP and WHAT to HAT. may be strengthened a teeny bit by the order being correct when... "

" These trees with their thickening number of branches combined with the text about increasing choices and the odds of choosing wisely made me think about decision trees and how all the branching possibilities multiply rapidly the deeper one gets into the maze. This room is... "

" Inspired by posts from vewatkin, Dave Gentile, and sp from June 2014: here’s a tale about top hat man. Hope you like it. Room 42: Witness the remains of former top hat men led by the guide to room 24 never to return to reclaim... "

" "all of their positions in the Maze exist roughly simultaneously." This is the coolest theory to me because it's actually true, even in reality. "

" That's right! In room 37 the group starts arguing, but then a door rattles and they all stop talking and depart from the room. There is a door that leads to Room 10 from 37, but not vice-versa. This can be extrapolated to deduce that... "

" Prior posts have pointed out that converting letters to numbers and summing provides some room number clues. For example “face”: 6+1+3+5=15 and “no”: 14+15=29 sets up the two best room choices with the text “what a foolish face” and “pay no attention”. This is a... "

" In what evil shoe am I, Woodrow Shakespeare’s son? All none, you! that's what I get "

" Thank you Kiki. Answering your early question, I dont even know what Blue Prince even is. I'm on my way to find out what it is after i make this post, but color me intrigued if it's something on the lines of Maze. I just... "

" I agree vewatkins that for these speculations to be worth considering we require more evidence - so here goes. First I’d like to say that I think using the riddle of the sphinx to identify stick man as a sign for mankind is the best... "

" There's just no way or reason to interpret the unseen sign as saying "U Turn." You could just imagine that it does, but you might as well skip some steps and just imagine it says "18" on it. That sounds like a joke, but it's... "

" Thanks Kiki for the post. Hopefully this post helps clarify my thoughts. Following what others have posted before, to read the “This Way” sign correctly you can (1) turn the book upside down and then (2) turn the page over to look at the room... "

" (Life already has an oxygen, it’s oxygen!) I do actually love seeing this interpretation! I can tell you’ve thought about it a lot and I’m glad that Maze connected with you this well. Did you originally come here from Blue Prince? I think you would... "

" I disagree. It's not pessimistic at all. It's life affirming. I just now got done digesting the book and the wiki as a whole. What a masterpiece. Humor me for a minute, i'll try to be brief although this could take me hours if am... "

" To answer the questions: 1– the release of Blue Prince earlier this year sicced a pack of puzzle game nerds onto the Manson market. Previously, his books were uncommon but not too hard to find, and generally went for less than $20. I feel safe... "

" You say "your" as in referring to Christopher Manson, who is different than the site owner and does not use this website, just a heads up. "

" Note that the book reads 81 when right-side-up and 18 when upside down. Also, why would we want to follow Icarus anywhere? 29 already instructs the reader to flip the book over, and that message gets across much clearer than this. A U-Turn sign for... "

" Perhaps the hidden sign behind the stop sign is a U(You)-Turn sign as a reply to the question “what is your sign?” and reinforced by their feeling “all turned around”. That could also make sense as an instruction to flip the book over backward to... "

" I´ve been thinking about the relation between the leters "H + OO" and the leter "P". I think the two O's form the number 8 and the leter "H" is the eighth leter of the English abecedary . (8+8 = 16) The leter "P" is... "
