Labyrinth Generator

Draw a labyrinth with one path and no choices, and print it. A maze branches; a labyrinth does not: the path winds back and forth through every ring, called a circuit, and always reaches the goal in the middle. Choose 2 to 21 circuits and the order the path visits them: the 3-2-1-4-7-6-5 rule for 3, 7, 11, 15 or 19 circuits, outside-in serpentine, or an order you type. Draw it as a circle or a square, as walls, as a path line to trace, or both, at real size for a finger labyrinth or at a plan scale such as 1:100 for a garden or floor layout. Download a PDF, a 300 DPI PNG or an SVG. Nothing is uploaded.

How to make and print a labyrinth

1. Pick a preset, or choose the number of circuits and the order.
2. Choose a circle or a square and the size of the goal in the middle.
3. Choose walls, a path line or both, the line width and the colour.
4. Set the path width; for a garden or floor plan choose Real size or plan scale, the unit (metres or feet) and the scale.
5. Download the PDF and print at 100% (Actual size), or the PNG or SVG.

What you can use it for

• Finger labyrinths to print, trace or laminate
• Garden, lawn and floor labyrinth plans drawn to scale
• Classroom lessons on paths, rings and one-way routes
• Colouring and pen-tracing sheets
• Plotter, laser and vinyl art from the SVG
• Stencils and signs for chalk or paint layouts

Walk length, size and the width of the way into the goal (as a share of the path width) are worked out by the tool from the drawing.

Frequently asked questions

What is a labyrinth?

A single winding path from an entrance to a centre with no branches and no dead ends. The Wikipedia article on labyrinths (read 13 November 2026) contrasts a maze, “a complex branching multicursal puzzle with choices of path and direction”, with a unicursal labyrinth, which “has only a single path to the center”. Every drawing on this page is unicursal; our tests read the path back from the drawing to check it.

How is it different from a maze?

A maze has choices and dead ends, so you can get lost. A labyrinth has none: you only follow it. For mazes with choices, use the Maze Generator.

What is the order of the circuits?

The circuits are numbered from 1 on the outside to the last one next to the goal. The order is the sequence the path walks them in. The 7-circuit preset walks 3-2-1-4-7-6-5; the same rule gives 5-4-3-2-1-6-11-10-9-8-7 for 11 circuits and 1-2-3 for 3. Serpentine walks 1, 2, 3 … in turn. You can also type your own order, with each circuit once.

Why is my order refused?

Every turn between two circuits happens at the top, alternately on the right and on the left of the axis. Two turns on the same side must sit one inside the other or apart; if they would cross, the path would need a bridge, so the tool names the two turns instead of drawing it (for example 2-1-3: the entrance into circuit 2 crosses the turn from circuit 1 to 3). Of the 5,040 possible orders of 7 circuits, 42 can be drawn this way; our tests check every order of up to 7 circuits.

How are the walls placed?

The walls run half a path width either side of the path line, with an outer wall that is open only at the entrance and an inner wall that is open only into the goal. Across every circuit the gap between the walls is exactly one path width in our tests.

Why does the way into the goal get narrower?

Every circuit takes the same angle per path width, so the short straight piece into the goal, the smallest ring, is narrower than the rest. The info line and the footer give its width as a share of the path width; a bigger goal widens it.

Is this the classical labyrinth?

Wikipedia’s labyrinth article describes the 7-course “Classical” or “Cretan” pattern known from Cretan coins (ca 400–200 BC), usually drawn from a seed pattern. This tool draws its own concentric version with the turns on one axis; it does not draw the seed-pattern construction or copy any named labyrinth.

Can I make a finger labyrinth?

Yes. Choose Real size, set the path width (8 to 15 mm suits a fingertip) and print at 100%. The finger presets fit one sheet of US Letter or A4. Every printed wall is within 0.2 mm of its place in our tests.

Can I plan a garden labyrinth?

Yes. Set the path width in metres or feet, choose Real size or plan scale and a scale such as 1:100. The footer gives the scale, the real width across and the walking length along the middle of the path, so you can mark it out.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Every wall and turn is worked out by JavaScript in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or saved when you close the page.
