The geometry

Hexagonal 2 is a refined take on the honeycomb maze, shaping the outer boundary and passage flow so the finished puzzle reads as a deliberate, polished object rather than a raw grid. The six-way cells still deliver that signature organic difficulty, but the overall silhouette is cleaner and more print-friendly.

How it works

This variant supports arc-length and boundary options that change how corridors meet the edge of the maze, giving each generated puzzle a slightly different character. Built on the same compiled C/C++ engine, it renders in milliseconds at full 300 DPI with complete control over wall colour, background, and line weight. The result is a hexagonal maze tuned for repeatable, professional-looking output across an entire book.

Who it's for

Publishers building a themed hex-maze collection use Variant 2 when they want consistent, edge-to-edge framing across dozens of pages, so every spread in the book feels like part of one deliberate set. Educators appreciate the cleaner boundary for photocopied worksheets where stray edge artifacts can confuse younger solvers. Designers prototyping hex-based game maps use it to generate level geometry quickly, then tweak colours to match an in-game palette. Try the honeycomb free, then upgrade for batch generation and 300 DPI PDF export across an entire title.
