Differences:
A maze has many paths. You face choices: left or right? Go forward or hit a dead end? It’s like a puzzle—thrilling, tricky, even risky. Think treasure hunts or movie challenges. Your brain races, your heart pumps. Mazes test your focus.
A labyrinth has one path. No choices. Just follow the twists to the center and back. It’s smooth, steady, quiet. Each step feels calm. No stress, no maps. Hospitals use labyrinths to ease minds and heal stress.

Pick your path:
Want excitement? Try a maze.
Need peace? Walk a labyrinth.
Trace a maze’s branches with your finger—feel the rush? Now trace a labyrinth’s single line—feel calm? That’s why some say: “solvitur ambulando” (solve problems by walking). Sometimes, moving forward is the answer.
