Starting to think about the possibility of some slightly more themed mazes - would you all like alphabet mazes (with ..."

yes.

[Sophie, The other one]

If anyone has other ideas for themes, let me know.

If they are simple, they might make the next update; if not you'll be waiting longer unless you also supply a list of tasks!

[Sammy]

Ohhhh, themed mazes... So many ideas! 😁

How many tasks would you want per maze, roughly?

[Sophie, The other one]

The easy maze has 260!

I think the alphabet one is going to have 52, so it depends how much repetition you want.

[Christina]

well if you do 52 for authors and 52 for characters in one maze that's already 104 ;)

sounds like fun though, and definitely easier than some of the tag or list tasks 🙈

[Keli]

I like the themed idea. Colors and places are always fun.

[Sammy]

Ah, I got the amazon 2015 task again. didn't want to read anything off it last time, still don't want to this time 😆

[Aoife]

Theme/genre tasks sound like fun!

[Saar The Book owl]

Theme/genre sounds fun! But I'm no way near finished my first maze :)

[Ilsen]

The themed maze sounds really fun! I’ve been having a good time with my maze even if I’m taking my sweet time. I like that we can go at our own pace!

If you do alphabet tasks, can you please allow title (and maybe location) in addition to author initials & character names.

Also, I know this is has SKIPs but 2 options would make this much easier. :D

I just started my first maze, but I am enjoying it. But also worried after seeing how many SKIPs and HELPs are needed for tasks.

Don't SKIP this message! I know you want to call a HALT to the tasks that make you want to PASS out and MISS the maze entirely. I don't want the fun to STOP so if you CAN'T complete a task, just ask for HELP and use one of the words in capitals as a spell out to fill the SPACE instead.
