Does the ‘world’s hardest maze’ live up to its name? Give it a shot.

We know you are bored at home right now—we are too. Here are some puzzles and brainteasers to challenge your family and friends with, either in person or over video chat.

In a typical maze, the entrance leads to the exit. This one is different. Rules determine where and how you can move. You must follow this color order as you ­meander: red, green, yellow. You can pass through any dot as often as you want, but you must stay within the color pattern, and you can’t double back through the same dot twice in a row.

(Hint: When you hit the yellow dot on the far right, head north.)
