More than 300 all-new area mazes take puzzlers to new levels of challenge - and into the third dimension.

Once you match wits with area mazes, you'll be hooked! Your quest is to navigate a group of rectangles (or a 3D stack of cubes!) to find a missing value. Just remember:

Area = length Γ— width

Use spatial reasoning to find helpful relationships. Whole numbers are all you need. You can always get the answer without using fractions!

Originally invented for gifted students, area mazes (menseki meiro) have taken Japan by storm. Are you a sudoku fanatic? Do you play brain games to stay sharp? Did you love geometry... or would you like to finally show it who's boss?

Feed your brain some area mazes - they could be just what you're craving!
