Hexagonal-Square-Triangle 2 Maze Generator — Free Online Tool
The geometry
Hexagonal-Square-Triangle 2 pushes the three-shape tiling into harder territory, packing the same hexagon-square-triangle mix into a denser weave with extra connections and far fewer easy outs. It keeps the rich mixed-polygon look but turns the solve into a serious, time-consuming challenge, where the varied cell shapes hide the route far more effectively than any uniform grid could.
How it works
The added links create loops and alternative routes across all three cell types at once, so the constantly shifting exit counts now combine with genuine route choices rather than a single thread to follow. A passage that looks like a shortcut through a run of triangles can loop back through a cluster of hexagons, keeping even experienced solvers honest. The compiled C/C++ engine carves the denser tiling with the recursive backtracker and renders its intricate mix of hex, square, and triangular walls crisply at 300 DPI. Wall colour, background, and line width remain adjustable, letting you raise contrast so the busy pattern stays readable at large grid sizes.
Who it's for
KDP publishers use Hexagonal-Square-Triangle 2 as the expert-level counterpart to its lighter sibling, giving a geometry-themed book a clear progression from approachable to punishing and a satisfying finale page. Educators offer it as a stretch puzzle once students grasp how mixed tilings behave. Designers tap its dense, multi-shape weave for detailed decorative fills and intricate surface patterns.
