Turn a photo into a playable maze
Got a maze in a book, a worksheet, or a screenshot? Upload it and MazeWalker scans the image into a playable maze you can actually walk — in 2D or 3D, solo or against friends. It's the only maze game that lets you play any maze you can photograph.
How the maze scanner works
MazeWalker reads your image with a computer-vision pipeline: it converts the picture to black and white using Otsu thresholding, detects the grid spacing with projection and autocorrelation, classifies whether the maze uses thin lines or thick blocks for walls, then samples every cell to rebuild the maze as a grid — and finally locates the entrance and exit. The result is a fully playable level.
