Maze Games:
Hidden Check-points*
Open to everyone, individual or group. Our maze has twelve hidden check-points. Any number of games, activities, competitive or team building opportunities can be utilized to fit the age or skill level of a group or individual. Each check-point has a paper punch to be used to punch your purchased ticket.
A map marking your current location at each check-point allows for re-orientation and clues on how to proceed towards the next hidden check-point or maze exit.
Utilize your Smart phone to play one or more of our other available games.
Scavenger Hunt
This activity / game is designed for younger groups. It is conducted within a small gated section of our Large Interactive Corn Maze. Ideal for the younger aged Youth Group's, Daycare's and School group's with limited program time.
Groups are broken into multiple teams and sent in with adult chaperones to locate a list of hidden objects. Races or competitive opportunities can be applied to fit the age level of each group.
Older groups, families and individuals are encouraged to utilize the Maize Trivia, iphone and GPS / punch card Hidden Check-point activities.
Maize Trivia
Twenty totally separate check-points are located throughout the entire Maze, ten on each half of our two part maze.
These check-points strategically placed to correspond with pre-set questions and correct answers will allow for groups to be either sent in the proper direction should the individual's within the group answer correctly or sent into a dead end or possibly in circles, returning again to their current location, so that the question may be asked again or a different answer given.
Specially designed for groups large and small, young or old, Maize Trivia offers a wide variety of pre-selected question categories to choose from, including farm knowledge, corn and bee facts, bible trivia, U.S. Presidents, U.S. Geography, science, music, sports, scouting and many more. Several of our categories are specific to grade levels.
Pre-registration is required for groups who wish to create their own set of questions related to a topic of their choice.
Visit our Maize Trivia website to get started.
Use the Maze to build corporate knowledge, improve scouting skills, boost team building effectiveness or just increase the Fun during your farm visit. Teachers can combine curriculum's, if you want, bringing math, geography, science and English all to the great outdoors to make learning even more Fun.

** Hidden Check-points, Smart Phone Apps and GPS / Hidden Check-points, are located in the same location.
Maze Trivia check-points are different and located separately throughout our two trails.
G.P.S. Hidden Checkpoints **
Possibly the coolest advancement in corn mazes since those first paths were cut more than 20 years ago, Smartphone GPS is here. Turn your phone into a fully functioning GPS map of the maze that shows your exact position.
While we will not give you turn-by-turn directions to take all the fun out of the maze, you can choose from one of 6 fun characters to see your progress.
Will GPS ruin the challenge?
Every visitor has a different level of comfort entering a corn maze. Some visitors pride themselves on never using a map to get out while other visitors will never enter a maze with fear of being lost forever. With maze GPS you can have a backup or full control.
- Check your position at any time when you need a little help getting relocated.
- If you want the corn maze experience but fear getting lost forever, use your GPS to track your instant progress continually.
- Are you someone who dominates corn mazes? We won't tell if you try out the GPS just for a minute because face it, it's really cool.
While the GPS feature like our other smartphone features are specifically designed for mobile use and data, please note that GPS features inherently use more device data and battery. Use is typically comparable to use of other smartphone GPS navigation uses.
GPS accuracy can vary by device and is only as accurate as your device's hardware. Some iOS devices are known to have only approximate accuracy (25 ft+).
Smartphone GPS is not intended as an emergency safety device. Always follow local maze rules, and know how to exit a maze safely without relying on technology.
