To solve this summertime maze, we need to find the path from the starting point (the barbecue grill on the left) to the ending point (the life preserver in the center).
Step 1: Start at the barbecue grill on the left side of the maze.
Step 2: Follow the open path from the grill. You’ll see it goes right, then up, then right again — avoid dead ends like the one leading to the flowers on the far right.
Step 3: Keep following the only clear path that doesn’t hit walls. The maze has many twists, but there’s only one route that leads to the center.
Step 4: As you move through the maze, you’ll pass near the campfire (bottom left) and the lighthouse (bottom right), but don’t get sidetracked — those are not the goal.
Step 5: Eventually, the path will lead you straight into the square with the life preserver in the middle — that’s your destination!
The correct path is:
Grill → Right → Up → Right → Down → Right → Up → Left → Up → Right → Down → Right → Up → Left → Down → Right → Into the center life preserver.
Final Answer:
The path from the barbecue grill leads to the life preserver in the center of the maze.
