Inside this maze
This 12-by-8 honeycomb uses a 15% braid setting, unlike the unbraided hard and expert pages in the curated selection. Extra openings introduce loops, so the separate answer image is not a rule that every valid attempt must match. The stored shortest route takes 28 moves, changes direction 20 times, and visits just three of the grid's 14 junctions. Its first fork is five moves from START, in the fourth column of the top row.
Give two solvers unmarked copies and ask each to reach FINISH without crossing a wall. Compare their routes before showing the answer key. If the lines differ, check their connections rather than rejecting the one that looks unfamiliar; if they match, challenge the pair to investigate a loop elsewhere on the board. Counting moves is a separate extension: reaching the destination and finding a shortest route are different tasks. The 96-cell format keeps that distinction visible without requiring a dense full-page puzzle.

Answer key
The solution SVG marks a shortest route. Other routes through open passages may also reach FINISH; compare connections, not just the shape of the line.
