This is a really fun coloring book for anyone who likes to solve puzzles or mazes. There are 15 two-page maze designs which detailed and intricate elements to color. I’ve often worked puzzles with this style of tiny detail and have worked a few mazes so this coloring book is one that appeals to me on a variety of my hobbies.

The mazes included are: Pierre’s Garage, The Museum, The Town Makes Merry, Open-Air Cafe, Downtown, Balloon Festival, The Castle in the South, The Forest Village, The Haunted Mansion, The Forgotten Town, To the Sea, The Harbor Town, The Mine Cart Course, The Mysterious Market, and The Giant Maze Town. Also included are pages which show the answers (note, I did not include those pages in my video of the coloring book.)

The point of the book is to find the person to guide through the maze. You color that person blue and the end point in red. You can color on your way or go back after solving the maze and color the page. My plan is to color the pages after I solve a maze one at a time.

The only thing I wish I could change about these mazes are the big blurb boxes which show the starting point. For a regular maze, this may make sense. For a coloring book, I wish that they had put a simple small circle (pencil eraser size) near the starting point or simply pre-colored the person you are to guide. That way, the entire maze is available to color and does not have a big instruction box (some approximately 4 x 3 inches) blocking parts of it. Just a thought for any future publications of this sort.

This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing my coloring medium on the paper:

15 Two-page Maze Coloring Designs

Printed on both sides of the page

Paper is heavyweight, white with green borders, slightly smooth and non-perforated.

Larger format book at 13 by 10 inches

Sewn Binding

Designs merge into the binding. My book is extremely well lined up with no loss of elements into the binding area.

The book opens fairly easily to a flat position for coloring.

Alcohol-based markers bleed through the pages. I don’t recommend this medium for this book as they will bleed through and mar the designs on the back of the page.

Water-based markers, gel pens, and India ink pens did not bleed through or leave any form of shadows on the back of the page. Some gel pens required additional drying time.

Colored pencils work well with this paper. I was able to get good pigment, layer the same or multiple colors, and blend easily with a blender stick.

Because of the extreme detail in this coloring book, I don’t recommend it do anyone who has vision or fine motor skill issues.
