The Guinness World Record for the biggest hand-drawn maze is held by a Michigan artist. There are two original puzzles for Atlas Obscura byMichelle. She's here for the first time.

I like to focus on real places when I create a maze. The landscape and attributes of the location are researched by me. I went to Paris to celebrate Halloween. A real-life maze on their own consists of nearly 200 miles of underground passages, some lined to the ceiling with the remains of six to seven million people. The catamarans are mostly unexplored in modern times.

solvers become travelers who discover real things and places in the maze and its illustrations as a result of Basing a maze on a real world place. I tucked away a few surprises found in the Catacombs, as well as a few other Paris secrets, from Atlas Obscura.

The surprises are visible in the PDF. The puzzle can be downloaded in its entirety.

I hope the solvers find this maze to be an adventure of its own. Getting from start to finish is only part of the fun.
