About the game
Meikyuu means "labyrinth": lost (迷) in a palace (宮). This page holds 1,024 mazes, and you solve them by drawing a line with a finger or the mouse from the green start to the gold goal. They start tiny, a small 3 x 5 square with fifteen cells, and grow up to huge ones with thousands of cells.
The grids come in many shapes: squares, hexagons, triangles and circles, and fancier outlines such as a heart, a leaf, a star, a ring, a diamond, a cross, a moon and a pyramid. There are different ways to play, too: find the goal, enter and leave, out from the centre, or collect the keys on the way. Arrow puzzles and tall mazes meant for a phone held upright are in the mix. Each maze shows a difficulty rating out of 100, and a hint shows the way if you are lost.
Playing it here
Click Play. The rows above the maze filter the collection: the kind (Mazes, Arrows, Mixed, Tall, Colossal), the shape, the size, the way to play and which way up the maze is; the level box and arrows move between levels. Press on the green start and drag along the corridors to the gold goal: the line follows your finger, and Undo and Restart let you take it back. The minus and plus buttons zoom, "Fit" fits the whole maze and "Move" lets you pan; a pinch or the mouse wheel zooms too. "Hint" shows the way. The "Look" settings below change the paper, line and board colours. Everything stays in this browser.

A few things worth knowing
Work backwards. Trace from the goal for a few cells to find which dead ends to avoid.
Zoom for big mazes. Zoom in to draw accurately and use Fit to see where you are.
Try the key mazes. Collecting keys turns a simple maze into a small planning problem.
Questions
Are the mazes random? No. There are 1,024 fixed levels, so a number always gives the same maze.
Does it work on a phone? Yes. The tall mazes are designed for a phone held upright.
