Welcome to the clickmazes! Lots of unique interactive puzzles and mazes found here, and a few other things besides. Click on the links below to find out more. Enjoy... and let me know how well you survive. New for January 2012 I bring you the stepping-stone mazes designed in collaboration with Robert Abbott (USA), and currently featured on the cover of Games Magazine (March 2012 issue). These nifty little mazes almost design themselves, how cool is that. Also for anyone with a Nintendo 3DS, checkout UBISoft puzzle game James Noir's Hollywood Crimes (released November 2011). Enjoy the puzzles, solve the murder and, for bonus points, see how many puzzle designers you can correctly identify. |

Andrea - a potted history. As a child in the 70s I drew free-hand mazes, ever larger and ever more detailed, on 2D and then 3D surfaces. In the 80s I preferred form and structure, strong patterns that could be broken in small ways to produce elegant mazes. In the 90s I turned increasingly to rules and logic to add extra layers of complexity and push my skills to the limit. More and more I lent on my own (and others) software engineering skills to help create, prove and solve my mazes. In the late 90s the web, and in particular java, finally provided me with the perfect tools to launch and share my ideas, and opened up a whole new range of possibilities. The web-based, interactive puzzle-maze, or the clickmaze. What can I say, the 00s look set to be the most exciting decade yet. Keep clicking and be amazed!
