How to solve a corn maze without spoiling the fun
A practical navigation system for families: how to prepare, read junctions, use (and stop trusting) wall-following, recover when lost, and keep it fun for children.
- Photograph the map, closing time, and help number before entering.
- Name a landmark out loud at every junction so the route is retraceable.
- Use wall-following only in mazes without bridges or islands.
