The geometry

Pentagon 2 keeps the house-shaped pentagon cells of its sibling but weaves them into a denser, more demanding layout, adding extra connections that multiply the choices at every turn. The result is the same striking five-sided tessellation pushed toward a tougher, more tangled solve that rewards patience over a quick glance, with longer paths and more false starts to work through before the exit appears.

How it works

Rather than a single clean route, Pentagon 2 introduces loops and alternative paths across its pentagonal grid, so dead ends are fewer and genuine decisions are more frequent. That extra connectivity means a solver can no longer simply hug one wall to the finish — the maze demands real planning. The compiled C/C++ engine carves the denser tiling with the recursive backtracker and renders its busy angled walls crisply at 300 DPI. Wall colour, background, and line width stay fully adjustable, letting you tune contrast so the intricate pattern remains readable even at high cell counts.

Who it's for

For KDP publishers, Pentagon 2 is the natural 'expert' page to follow a Pentagon 1 warm-up, giving a themed book a built-in difficulty curve within one unusual geometry. It is ideal for the back pages of an activity book where buyers expect the challenge to ramp up. Educators assign it as a stretch challenge once students are comfortable with five-sided junctions. Designers exploit its dense interlocking cells as a rich ornamental texture. Try Pentagon 2 free, then upgrade for all 30 geometries plus print-ready PDF export.
