Maze Sprint is a short route-planning game: reach the exit quickly, avoid wall bumps, and replay to remove backtracking.
How to play
- Press Start to begin at the top-left of the maze.
- Move one cell at a time using arrows, swipes, or direction buttons.
- Walls block movement and add bump penalties.
- Reach the exit cell to complete the run and submit a score.
Scoring rules
- Score rewards reaching the exit with fewer moves, fewer wall bumps, and faster time.
- A calm route with fewer dead ends usually beats frantic movement.
- Completed runs can be submitted to daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time leaderboards.
Tips to improve
- Look one junction ahead before moving.
- Avoid entering branches until you know where they reconnect.
- On mobile, use short deliberate swipes instead of repeated panic swipes.

FAQ
Do I need an account?
No. You can play without an account. Leaderboard submission uses a nickname only after a completed run.
Is this game safe for quick breaks?
Yes. It runs in the browser, has no download requirement, and keeps gameplay separated from ad areas.
How should I compare scores?
Compare several completed runs on the same device instead of treating one lucky result as your true baseline.
Reach the exit quickly while avoiding backtracking and rushed dead ends. Your valid leaderboard result is based on score (pts).
How to approach each run
- Pause for a second before risky moves so you can see what the board will look like after the action.
- Track the constraint that matters most: empty space, safe cells, remaining moves, or tile position.
- Replay one board type several times instead of jumping around; pattern recognition improves faster that way.
