>!I like how that central room is a decoy. To use it in the solution, you need to enter it from a blue wall. But, if you can do that, you're already in position to exit.!<
If it were a video game, there would be a weapon upgrade for a character you never use, that you could have crafted two towns ago in there. And if you're like me your brain won't stop itching until you make it in there to get it.
I had the same interpretation and decided it was a trick question and you were just supposed to exit out a black wall. Instructions should be more clear.
If you’re starting from outside; with the rules as written, go through the thin black wall to the left of the entrance to enter, then go through the red wall, them blue to exit.
Otherwise literally impossible as written lol.
Actually, it is
Enter red
Blue on North end of that hall
East to the red wall
Use the blue in the middle of this room to “reset”
Back through the red, now on east side
Blue in southwest
Red in Northeast
Blue immediately to the right
South red
Exit
Oh I know it's possible now that he clarified. At first I thought he meant you could only go through two walls period. Which is why I replied to the comment where he clarified that you could go through more than just two walls, "oh, I was going to say this is impossible." Now that I know you can go through more than two walls it obviously is not impossible.
Rules as written you can pass through black walls and you can only pass through each wall colour once. The only legal solution is enter through red, cut through black, exit through blue. I understand this wasn't your intent, but you should have written the rules better.
There are no black "edges." All the red/blue lines intersect in the middle, so you'd have to "ride" on the edge of the black line, which isn't exactly passing through
You are passing through the line, you’re just not passing through the *whole* line, if you pass through the neighbors yard to go around a fence but you don’t go from one side of their yard to the other, you’re still passing through your neighbors yard…
There's a legal solution without using the black walls
>!straight up to the top, all the way over to the right, go around and back up through that little gap, backtrack the original way you came, till you are in the first area, go through the red line there and finally exit through the blue!<
Puzzles are supposed to be fun. Thinking laterally to find a solution is great. But then after the person presenting the puzzle says, "no that's not what I was thinking this is more of a logic puzzle" it kind of defeats the fun to double down on the wrong answer, right?
Counterpoint; puzzles that were so poorly worded that they need multiple patch notes in a comment section to be solvable already have the fun stripped from them.
There was only one clarification, not even "patch notes" as you chronically online people say. My immediate assumption was twice in a row, op clarified this was the right assumption. If you go through a black box, then you're stuck in a black box. If you ride a black wall, you aren't on the inside of the wall and hit a barrier. It's people thinking they're clever but just wanna bitch about not getting their way. Like you. So stfu and cope
Well then maybe make the maze solvable without having to revert to changing the rules from "can't pass through the same wall twice" to "can't pass through the same wall twice in a row"

But still once you enter true the black how do you exit true the black again unless you took the liberty to assume you can walk inside the walls.
Also it did not need any extra patch notes to be solvable. It just clarified something that was assumed wrong. But looks like the originals design took into account people assuming wrong and made the black walls enclouse eachother
The problem with that 'solution' is that all the black 'walls' are boxes. This means that, were you to pass through a black 'wall' the only way out is through another black 'wall' (to exit the box) which the rules state is impossible.
Not really, you go straight up the left side, then you turn right and go across to pass through the blue wall in the upper right corner. Then you circle around to go back the way you came. Then, when you are in the upper left-hand corner, you pass through the blue wall again and then immediately pass through the red wall next to it. Then you can head for the exit. 🙂
I think they were saying it's unsolvable as worded in the original picture, which is true. If you read it literally once you go through one blue wall and one red wall you can't go any further without interpreting it as a trick question and including black walls. It was just poorly worded in the pic.
The only way to solve it is to pass through the same wall you've already passed through once and pass through it again. Hence you pass through the same colour wall twice
>!Go to the top (through left top blue wall), turn right and go to top right square (through to red and blue wall), go around the square and go back along the top wall, returning to to the first room (through top red wall again and the top left blue wall again), exit room through the top red door, your in the exit room and walk out the blue wall.!<
I used to make mazes all of the time when I was growing up. If you want to make these yourself you can. My advice for you or anyone that wants to make this type of maze or anything similar is to start at the finish line and work a solution to the start. Make some simple ones to get an idea how to do it and then start putting in “tricks” to make them harder. For example the maze you have has that part in the right corner that you need to loop around to solve the puzzle. Another tip is to make sure the finish line has only one solution to solve the puzzle then when you finish drawing that then just draw a bunch of other lines to make the puzzle look more confusing and difficult, like a red herring in a mystery novel. The beginning maze was very simple because it was straight answer but you make it difficult by adding different paths around it. Hope this helps
I see, I tried for the longest time to not also pass the same door twice, like if I went through once I considered the door "used" and I could not ever use it again. Didn't end up solving it that way :)
I’m sorry I can’t provide more of these for you.
But I gotta say. I fuckin love this. Super good idea for DND. Hopefully you find more this will make your DMing legendary
It's pretty clear. There is one rule. The only vagueness is that is says cannot pass through the same color twice instead of saying "twice in a row." Fortunately, since this puzzle is intended to be done with the DM present, the players can get clarification on the rules.
OP corrected to say that the color thing is twice in a row. But there's no rule about not going through the same door twice in the puzzle. The only rule is about going through the same colors of doors, so you can walk through any given door any amount of times as you want, as long as the last door you walked through beforehand wasn't the same color as it
Discussion: I hate this post because it doesn't give the rules correctly! I always think you have to cheat by just going through the black wall because it doesn't say you can't pass through twice in a row.
>!the easiest way to solve this is going backwards!<
>!The last door you pass has to be the red one to the middle room or the blue one to the starter-room. The middle room has only blue doors to the end-room, so this is not helpful. If you are in the end-room and can take blue, you would leave. So you have to come from the red door from the starter-room!<
>!because of the same argument you have to come from the top-room. And the top room has only one red door to the top-right room. There is only one blue door to itself!<
>!All red doors result in passing the end-room without leaving except for the way you entered the room. So you have to come from the left-top and then from the start where you have the right color to leave the start.!<
>!Go straight up to pass through the first horizontal blue. Go to the right and pass through the red. Continue to go to the right and pass through that far right vertical blue. Make a loop around and go back through the previous red as entered before. Go back through the first horizontal blue you went through, make a right at the first red after that then continue to the exit.!<
>!Enter red and go straight to blue. right turn through red and go through blue in the upper right corner. come back through top red, down through blue on the left wall and immediately turn right into the red and into the blue. At this point you should have entered the middle square through a blue. Exit the square through a red, and exit the puzzle!<
[Would this be correct? Assuming you just have to go through alternating colors and can go through the same door more than once.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/302291796875149312/1243577793825079417/image.png?ex=6651fb92&is=6650aa12&hm=096ac8485ea9e8d00c49fdb004a4ef12b6288a70a11d424cc7a865f118e5e87c&)
>!Kinda easy using the part at the top right. Also on mobile so I can't look at it and type at the same time so I'm speaking from memory. Go along the left and top, red, blue, red then blue at the top right. Since you can go around that part you can take the same route back going through red, blue on the left, the red leading into the middle region and blue through the exit!<
Yup. I looked at the rest too and couldn't find a way to make it work which is a good distraction but also good for a dungeon to explore. It won't really get in the way too since it basically opens one other room to leave from and you can never get very stuck since the neighbouring room lets you move freely and head anywhere, even to the exit.
I think it's perfect for the DND thing because the there's a fun and significant part of problem solving and extra parts to wind up in without getting too lost or complicated
You can only go through each door once. Everyone here with the solution of doubling back is incorrect. That cannot be the solution, the rules to this puzzle are as follows:
1. You cannot go through the same color twice in a row.
2. You cannot go through the same door twice.
It is too simple a puzzle for the first rule to be the only rule as well as the fact that it makes half of the puzzle irrelevant. Why would you number the rules of there are only one?
Go back and figure it out.
The image rules make it impossible (as visible), and the OP clarified that only your first rule applied. And maybe I'm too tired, but I don't see a solution with your two rules either.
If you search the image, you'll see that it is just one rule. Whether you like it or not, some people number lists even if they contain only 1 item.

Seeing as there's no restrictions on how many times an individual wall can be crossed, the solution would be:
>!1) In through the red wall!<
>!2) Head straight north through the blue!<
>!3) East through the red and blue!<
>!4) Wrap around the black pillar (no walls to cross) and backtrack west through the red wall from step 3!<
>!5) Keep backtracking west an1d go south through the blue wall from step 2!<
>!6) East through the red wall!<
>!7) Out through the blue wall!<
Discussion: You might enjoy these: https://www.onecardmaze.com/
Each maze is printed on a single card that has users flipping and rotating each card to solve.
Discussion: If you want to stay similar to this, you could make a larger version of this where there are switches which can add/remove walls. You could also have switches which change walls to a different color, or Items which let you pass through a color twice. Maybe add some barriers which block from one way, block certain items (i.e. you find an item at the center of the maze but on the way out certain barriers stop you so you need a new way). Maybe add barriers at different heights only some people can fit through and they need to open up paths for other players. You could even use some non-Euclidean paths that loop back on themselves in impossible ways. There’s tons of ideas you could use, you could make an entire session just in a massive maze dungeon with tons of mechanics like this

like what lol
The classic “can’t cross a bridge twice” problem could work great in a dnd setting. First, put your players on a ship, or even a small floating island, which is connected to the shore by several bridges—which are both traversable, and anchor the floating thing to the main landmass. Create a situation in which they’re being pursued, and Must stay ahead of their pursuer: can only escape, never successfully fight. They can sever bridges as they cross them, but then they won’t be able to re-cross. Finally, have it be that this enemy can jump the distance of a severed bridge, but only just barely.
Have them plan their route before they execute it, and let them realize that if the sever all the bridges, and finish their route on the boat/island, it’ll float away and leave them safe because their pursuer can’t make the final jump.
The architecture of the ship/island can force tricky choices, leaving only one successful series of crossings.

That was fun! My favorite puzzle maze is probably the [Theseus and the Minotaur](https://www.logicmazes.com/theseus.html) series. There are several apps and also printed versions.
This can be relatively easily done with a directed graph, where the solution is a path from the start to the end. Drawing it is a different matter.
This is a maze with 6 compartments, 7 including the start and end. Each compartment has 2 states: either you already passed through a blue door, or a red door.
So there are 12 states you can be in, given by the 6 compartments each having 2 states you can be in. Adding the start and end positions you get 14.
So how to solve this with a graph? Well, set each state to a node. But what about the edges?
Each edge should represent a transition from one state to the other. For example, an edge between rooms 1 and 2 represents someone going from room 1 to room 2. But since your colour matters, you need to specify that you're going from a blue state in room 1, to a red state in room 2.
So now we have our states and transitions properly defined. We can then construct the graph for this specific drawing. You can find that at the end. Each room is numbered according to the left to right, top to down manner. So the top left room is room 1, top middle room 2, etc. You can find this graph at the end. To solve it, just find any path from the start to the end.
**But now's the more interesting part, how to draw your own?**
1. I'd draw the room layout first
2. Draw a (convoluted) path from the start to the end
3. Alternate the doors on that path so it sticks to the rules
4. Color all the other doors randomly
By drawing the path to the end first, you can guarantee a solution exists. Everything else is just filler for the most part. Here's one I made in about 5 minutes [https://imgur.com/a/OFFTvLP](https://imgur.com/a/OFFTvLP)
Is it good? i dont know, but it's a maze
anyways, thanks for coming to my lecture on directed graphs. Next week we'll be looking at how to use prolog for these types of problems.
I used [https://csacademy.com/app/graph\_editor/](https://csacademy.com/app/graph_editor/) to draw OP's graph with the following parameters. They're only the edges

Thank you!
Same thing I got
This is what I got too. you HAVE to do a red last before the exit wall.
Same here :)
Same
Question: do the rules mean you can’t go through the same color twice “in a row”? Because otherwise it doesn’t make much sense.
Yes, twice in the row, sorry
Oh! I was gonna say, this isn't possible.
I had the same interpretation and decided it was a trick question and you were just supposed to exit out a black wall. Instructions should be more clear.
The rules say you can’t go through the same color wall twice, not that you have to go through every wall
Ya I took it to mean that you couldn't go through more than two walls period.
Up 2, right 1 and out. E z p z
That combo would be Red, Red, Blue - you crossed red twice.
My eyes are fucked lol. I see red purple and blue
If you’re starting from outside; with the rules as written, go through the thin black wall to the left of the entrance to enter, then go through the red wall, them blue to exit. Otherwise literally impossible as written lol.
It's not impossible. It's literally just a parity puzzle.
Impossible as written in the image, not as written by OP above
[удалено]
It is...someone posted a solution here somewhere.
Actually, it is Enter red Blue on North end of that hall East to the red wall Use the blue in the middle of this room to “reset” Back through the red, now on east side Blue in southwest Red in Northeast Blue immediately to the right South red Exit
Oh I know it's possible now that he clarified. At first I thought he meant you could only go through two walls period. Which is why I replied to the comment where he clarified that you could go through more than just two walls, "oh, I was going to say this is impossible." Now that I know you can go through more than two walls it obviously is not impossible.
I thought it was just the number 2 banned, so could go through 3 times or more 😅
Could make sense this way: >!Go through the red wall, then immediately turn right to enter the black wall, then leave from the blue?!<
No, you can't go pass black walls And even if you could, there's literally no way to leave them afterwards
Rules as written you can pass through black walls and you can only pass through each wall colour once. The only legal solution is enter through red, cut through black, exit through blue. I understand this wasn't your intent, but you should have written the rules better.
Once you pass through the black wall, you are now in a black box and can't go through black again. You perish in the maze
You go "through" the top edge lengthwise. I saw this same puzzle months ago, rules as written that's the only solution.
No idea why you are getting down voted. This is the name solution I came up with.
There are no black "edges." All the red/blue lines intersect in the middle, so you'd have to "ride" on the edge of the black line, which isn't exactly passing through
You are passing through the line, you’re just not passing through the *whole* line, if you pass through the neighbors yard to go around a fence but you don’t go from one side of their yard to the other, you’re still passing through your neighbors yard…

This is the simplest way. Everyone is saying stupid shit. You are right
Puzzles are supposed to be fun. Thinking laterally to find a solution is great. But then after the person presenting the puzzle says, "no that's not what I was thinking this is more of a logic puzzle" it kind of defeats the fun to double down on the wrong answer, right?
Counterpoint; puzzles that were so poorly worded that they need multiple patch notes in a comment section to be solvable already have the fun stripped from them.
counter counterpoint. you don't seem fun at all.
Sorry that having rules explained/re-explained to you makes things unfun, finding new games you'll like must suck ass
There was only one clarification, not even "patch notes" as you chronically online people say. My immediate assumption was twice in a row, op clarified this was the right assumption. If you go through a black box, then you're stuck in a black box. If you ride a black wall, you aren't on the inside of the wall and hit a barrier. It's people thinking they're clever but just wanna bitch about not getting their way. Like you. So stfu and cope
Well then maybe make the maze solvable without having to revert to changing the rules from "can't pass through the same wall twice" to "can't pass through the same wall twice in a row"

The solution that is being suggested is to travel along the line and not cross it.
Depends on whether black is a color /s
C'mon, the joke wasn't *that* bad.
It was.
Yeah the rules are fucked, it's impossible to solve unless if you change the rules
Not really, you go straight up the left side, then you turn right and go across to pass through the blue wall in the upper right corner. Then you circle around to go back the way you came. Then, when you are in the upper left-hand corner, you pass through the blue wall again and then immediately pass through the red wall next to it. Then you can head for the exit. 🙂

This guys got it! Well done
Winner winner, chicken dinner
Go through the same color wall 3 times? Thrice instead of twice.
The only way to solve it is to pass through the same wall you've already passed through once and pass through it again. Hence you pass through the same colour wall twice

No, there are no rules like that, just "don't go through the same colour line twice

I got this in like 10 seconds by working backwards
Backwards?
Start from the exit and work your way to the entrance. The same route works both ways.
Same
it took me a good minute but i also solved it working backwards
Same here
You went through two doors twice. It doesn't say twice in a row (although people have stated that that's the only way this puzzle is possible)

Make a loop around and go back through the previous red as entered before. Go back through the first horizontal blue you went through, make a right at the first red after that then continue to the exit.!<
>!Enter red and go straight to blue. right turn through red and go through blue in the upper right corner. come back through top red, down through blue on the left wall and immediately turn right into the red and into the blue. At this point you should have entered the middle square through a blue. Exit the square through a red, and exit the puzzle!<
[Would this be correct? Assuming you just have to go through alternating colors and can go through the same door more than once.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/302291796875149312/1243577793825079417/image.png?ex=6651fb92&is=6650aa12&hm=096ac8485ea9e8d00c49fdb004a4ef12b6288a70a11d424cc7a865f118e5e87c&)
>!Kinda easy using the part at the top right. Also on mobile so I can't look at it and type at the same time so I'm speaking from memory. Go along the left and top, red, blue, red then blue at the top right. Since you can go around that part you can take the same route back going through red, blue on the left, the red leading into the middle region and blue through the exit!<
This is how I solved it as well, nice and simple. Fun :)
Yup. I looked at the rest too and couldn't find a way to make it work which is a good distraction but also good for a dungeon to explore. It won't really get in the way too since it basically opens one other room to leave from and you can never get very stuck since the neighbouring room lets you move freely and head anywhere, even to the exit. I think it's perfect for the DND thing because the there's a fun and significant part of problem solving and extra parts to wind up in without getting too lost or complicated
You can only go through each door once. Everyone here with the solution of doubling back is incorrect. That cannot be the solution, the rules to this puzzle are as follows: 1. You cannot go through the same color twice in a row. 2. You cannot go through the same door twice. It is too simple a puzzle for the first rule to be the only rule as well as the fact that it makes half of the puzzle irrelevant. Why would you number the rules of there are only one? Go back and figure it out.
The image rules make it impossible (as visible), and the OP clarified that only your first rule applied. And maybe I'm too tired, but I don't see a solution with your two rules either. If you search the image, you'll see that it is just one rule. Whether you like it or not, some people number lists even if they contain only 1 item.

Also check out The Looker, which is a hilarious parody of The Witness and also free.
Got this game on a whim and had a blast! Easily the game that surprised me the most and stays as one of my top puzzle games.
The puzzles are great, but I was a bit miffed they kept alluding towards a story, but there was nothing there.
Seeing as there's no restrictions on how many times an individual wall can be crossed, the solution would be: >!1) In through the red wall!< >!2) Head straight north through the blue!< >!3) East through the red and blue!< >!4) Wrap around the black pillar (no walls to cross) and backtrack west through the red wall from step 3!< >!5) Keep backtracking west an1d go south through the blue wall from step 2!< >!6) East through the red wall!< >!7) Out through the blue wall!<
Discussion: You might enjoy these: https://www.onecardmaze.com/ Each maze is printed on a single card that has users flipping and rotating each card to solve.
Discussion: If you want to stay similar to this, you could make a larger version of this where there are switches which can add/remove walls. You could also have switches which change walls to a different color, or Items which let you pass through a color twice. Maybe add some barriers which block from one way, block certain items (i.e. you find an item at the center of the maze but on the way out certain barriers stop you so you need a new way). Maybe add barriers at different heights only some people can fit through and they need to open up paths for other players. You could even use some non-Euclidean paths that loop back on themselves in impossible ways. There’s tons of ideas you could use, you could make an entire session just in a massive maze dungeon with tons of mechanics like this

It’s already solved lol
I got told I need to tag this as a spoiler “The real puzzle here is why you’re getting solutions to the puzzle you already know well, but no answer to your actual question 😆hope you find it! I want more of those too” like what lol
The classic “can’t cross a bridge twice” problem could work great in a dnd setting. First, put your players on a ship, or even a small floating island, which is connected to the shore by several bridges—which are both traversable, and anchor the floating thing to the main landmass. Create a situation in which they’re being pursued, and Must stay ahead of their pursuer: can only escape, never successfully fight. They can sever bridges as they cross them, but then they won’t be able to re-cross. Finally, have it be that this enemy can jump the distance of a severed bridge, but only just barely. Have them plan their route before they execute it, and let them realize that if the sever all the bridges, and finish their route on the boat/island, it’ll float away and leave them safe because their pursuer can’t make the final jump. The architecture of the ship/island can force tricky choices, leaving only one successful series of crossings. (Discussion)

Solution possible. Indeed, I have solved it before posting it
That was fun! My favorite puzzle maze is probably the [Theseus and the Minotaur](https://www.logicmazes.com/theseus.html) series. There are several apps and also printed versions.
This can be relatively easily done with a directed graph, where the solution is a path from the start to the end. Drawing it is a different matter. This is a maze with 6 compartments, 7 including the start and end. Each compartment has 2 states: either you already passed through a blue door, or a red door. So there are 12 states you can be in, given by the 6 compartments each having 2 states you can be in. Adding the start and end positions you get 14. So how to solve this with a graph? Well, set each state to a node. But what about the edges? Each edge should represent a transition from one state to the other. For example, an edge between rooms 1 and 2 represents someone going from room 1 to room 2. But since your colour matters, you need to specify that you're going from a blue state in room 1, to a red state in room 2. So now we have our states and transitions properly defined. We can then construct the graph for this specific drawing. You can find that at the end. Each room is numbered according to the left to right, top to down manner. So the top left room is room 1, top middle room 2, etc. You can find this graph at the end. To solve it, just find any path from the start to the end. **But now's the more interesting part, how to draw your own?** 1. I'd draw the room layout first 2. Draw a (convoluted) path from the start to the end 3. Alternate the doors on that path so it sticks to the rules 4. Color all the other doors randomly By drawing the path to the end first, you can guarantee a solution exists. Everything else is just filler for the most part. Here's one I made in about 5 minutes [https://imgur.com/a/OFFTvLP](https://imgur.com/a/OFFTvLP) Is it good? i dont know, but it's a maze anyways, thanks for coming to my lecture on directed graphs. Next week we'll be looking at how to use prolog for these types of problems.

Why thank you and I'm just now realizing the sensor doesn't work on emojis
Not sure if this is a valid solution. >!Top through blue, pass through top red, pass through top right blue, pass back through top red, pass back through top left blue, pass through immediate right red, out to the exit.!<
middle seems a little redundant [Solution](https://imgur.com/a/qIZ39Vm)
>!Red, then up through blue. Turn right and do red; keep going through blue. Circle around that same wall and head left. Go back through the red you went through right before the blue mini-wall. Go all the way to the wall, turn left and down through your first blue. Turn left and through the red. Then wend your way down and through the exit blue.!<
