Why Shape Mazes Sell Better
Generic rectangular mazes are everywhere. To succeed on Amazon KDP, you need visual appeal. Creating mazes inside shapes (like a pumpkin for Halloween or a bunny for Easter) instantly makes your book more marketable.
Pro Tip: Mix and match. Create a "Space Adventure" book where some mazes are shaped like rockets, others like planets (circular), and others like stars.
Step-by-Step: Creating Your Maze Book
Choose your maze shape
Go beyond the box. BooksGenie offers a library of shapes:
- Standard (Square/Rect)
- Geometric (Circle/Triangle/Hex)
- Animals (Cat, Dog, Dino)
- Objects (Car, Heart, Star)
Set the complexity level
For Kids (4-8): Use low wall density with wide paths. Make the solution
easy to spot.
For Adults: Use "Extreme" density. Thin paths and hundreds of dead ends
create a satisfying challenge.
Configure page layout
Decide how many mazes fit on a page. For complex, shaped mazes, we strongly recommend 1 per page to showcase the art. For simple rectangular mazes, you can fit 4 or 6.
Customize style
Refine the aesthetics. You can change the line thickness, toggle "Start" and "Finish" text (or use icons like an arrow and a star), and even add background patterns.
Generate and download
Click "Generate." The AI builds unique, solvable mazes within your chosen boundaries. It also generates a matching solution page with the correct path highlighted.

Are the solutions always correct?
Yes. The mazes are generated using a "spanning tree" algorithm which guarantees exactly one perfect path from start to finish with no loops.
What trim size works best?
8.5" x 11" is best. It provides ample room for the maze details, especially if you are creating complex puzzles for adults.
