Alan Perkins from Ohio has created an impressive spider web maze as part of his town’s Halloween celebrations.
“Years ago, I made a simple version of spider web walls on some scaffold as part of a small haunted walk-through. I had always wanted to try it full scale and here was my opportunity”, says Alan. “The goal was to create a maze you could see through, couldn't get lost in, and the parents didn't have to enter to watch their kids complete it.”

Head to head: Raspberry Pi + Raspberry Pi Zero + Raspberry Pi Pico.
At last year’s event, over 700 people entered the maze in the pouring rain. It cost $1800 to make and was funded with help from the city of Olmsted Falls.
“It will be making a return this year with a 20 foot custom sign in the front to invite people into the Spiderweb Labyrinth”. If you’re in the area, the Olmsted’s Fall-O-Ween event is on 27th October.
Instructions to make your own maze are available here.
