Field trip at the Amazing Maze using your Smartphone
You can utilize all of the options below while in the maze. Choose from the following fun
mobile games.
Maze Trivia
Use trivia to help find your way through the maze. At each checkpoint, you will answer a
question. If you answer correctly, you will be headed towards the next checkpoint. If you
answer incorrectly, you will be headed the wrong away or even towards a dead end. Choose
from 60 fun categories for all ages. http://www.mazetrivia.com/viewmaze.php?id=131
QR Hunt
Find checkpoints in the maze using your phone. When you come to a checkpoint, either
enter a code or scan a QR code and your phone will track that you have found the
checkpoint. When you have found all the checkpoints, you get a coupon for a 20% discount
on gift shop items.
Corn Maze School Field Trips - Teachers
Add an additional educational component to your fieldtrip this year at the maze. Try our
Maze Master Trivia. We know you are under constant pressure to make everything have an
educational value to it, and your trip can now include learning that fits specifically with your
curriculum. As the students navigate through the corn maze, they can answer multiple
choice questions about one of our premade topics, or you can create your own questions. If
they choose the right answer to a question, they will advance through the maze in the right
direction. If they answer incorrectly, they will head for a dead end or in the wrong direction.
Maze Master Trivia is great for schools because you can customize it for your group. Just
enter 10 multiple choice questions on our website, and hit print to generate your unique
maze trivia quiz. Make enough copies for your students (or for younger children, just give a
copy to chaperones to read to the students) and bring them with you on your fieldtrip.
How it Works for Students
1. As students enter the maze, you will pass out their question sheet complete with 10
questions and answers. For younger students, it may be best to just give quizes to
adult leaders to read to the students. But for older students, this can be a great way
to practice reading skills.
2. When students come to each of the numbered checkpoints in the corn maze, they
will read the corresponding question on their card. For example, the students come
to checkpoint #1. They will then look at their card and read what question #1 is and
go in the direction of the answer they think is right.
3. So, correct answers show learning, and also help them master the maze.
Types of Questions
Each class that visits our maze is studying different topics, so we are putting the power into
your hands. You can create customized questions to fit the needs of your class. You can
upload questions related to our theme or 60 other categories.

Or, you can create questions about some topic that your class is studying. For example, you
could ask history questions, ask question to practice for an upcoming science test, create
some simple math problems, or even practice that week's spelling words.
How it Works for Teachers
1. Creating your question sheet is easy. First, it is probably best to create your
questions in a separate document as a backup. Each question will need the question,
the correct answer, and up to two incorrect answers.
2. Once you have your questions, you need to get them to match up with the right way
to go in the maze. Luckily, the Maze Master takes care of all the hard work for you.
Since he knows the maze by heart, just tell him the questions, right answers, and
wrong answers, and he will generate your question sheet for you. To enter your
questions, visit the maze master. Just enter your questions in the form and click
"View Printable Sheet" at the bottom when finished.
3. Once you have finished entering questions, be sure to click "View Printable Sheet".
Your question sheet will automatically generate. Make sure you print your sheet. It
does not get sent to us, and we have no way of printing it. You must print or make
copies of your sheet for each student/group leader and bring them with you on your
trip.
Trivia FAQs
Do we have to use trivia with the maze?
No, but it does add an extra educational component to your trip if desired.
Do I have to write the questions?
You certain may write the questions, but we do have some premade written categories
online that you can print including 'Farm Animal Sounds' for toddlers.
Where do we get our printed quizes?
You must create and print your own question sheets before arriving at the maze. We do not
have access to the quizes you create.
If we get every answer right, does that mean we will never get lost?
No, there are many decision points (intersections) in the maze where you could go the
wrong way.
What is the recommended age?
The concept of asking a child a question could apply to any age, but children in kindergarten
on up will benefit the most. For young children, it may be best to just give the quiz to
leaders and they can verbally ask the students the questions.
