Triangle-Square 1 Maze Generator — Free Online Tool

The geometry

The Triangle-Square 1 maze interleaves triangular and square cells in a single tiling, so the corridors change character as they wind across the page — a stretch of orderly squares suddenly fractures into a fan of triangles, then settles again. This mix of shapes gives the puzzle a lively, semi-regular rhythm you simply cannot get from a uniform grid, and it keeps even experienced solvers honest because the next junction rarely looks like the last one.

How it works

Built on a snub-square tiling, this variant hands each cell a different number of neighbours depending on whether it is a triangle or a square, which scatters three-way and four-way decision points unpredictably through the maze. Our compiled C/C++ engine carves the mixed grid with the recursive backtracker and renders every edge sharply at 300 DPI. You keep full control over size, wall colour, background, and line width, so the intricate cell pattern stays clean and legible even when printed small.

Who it's for

For KDP publishers, a triangle-square maze is an instant differentiator: the unusual blend of shapes photographs as something genuinely novel in a cover thumbnail, helping a new activity book stand apart from the endless square-grid titles. Educators use the varied junctions to teach flexible spatial reasoning, since solvers cannot fall back on a single rote strategy. Game designers borrow the snub-square pattern for decorative tile floors and semi-regular level layouts. Generate one free with the demo, or upgrade for all 30 geometries and 300 DPI PDF export.
