==Construction== Mazes have been built with a variety of materials. Some are relatively permanent, like [[Hedge maze|hedge]]s, [[Turf maze|turf]], walls, rooms, tiles, and paving stones or bricks.<ref>{{cite web |title=Trevithick Brick Path Maze |publisher=Lappa Valley Steam Railway |url=http://www.lappavalley.co.uk/maze.htm |access-date=13 June 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090812061325/http://www.lappavalley.co.uk/maze.htm |archive-date=12 August 2009 }}</ref> Others are deliberately transitory, like [[Corn maze|corn stalks]], [[Straw maze|straw bales]], books, snow,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Largest snow maze |author= |work=Guinness World Records |date= |access-date=9 October 2024 |url= https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/114366-largest-maze-snow-maze}}</ref> or in fields of crops such as [[cereal|corn]] or [[maize]]. Maize mazes can be very large; they are usually kept only for one growing season, so they can be different each year, and are promoted as seasonal [[tourist attraction]]s.{{citation needed|date=March 2024}} Indoors, mirror mazes are another form of maze, in which many of the apparent pathways are imaginary routes seen through multiple reflections in mirrors. Another type of maze consists of a set of rooms linked by doors (so a passageway is just another room in this definition). Players enter at one spot, and exit at another, or the idea may be to reach a certain spot in the maze. Mazes can also be printed or drawn on [[paper]] to be followed by a [[pencil]] or fingertip.
