MAIZE MAZE
The Maize Maze, a variant on the hedge maze, is a phenomenon which hits
almost any area where large fields of tall grains (such as corn) can be
quickly harvested in precise fashions. Farmers will often turn their
corn (or "maize") fields into mazes for fun (and possibly even for some
extra profit on the side), occasionally offering prizes to anyone who
solves it in a fast enough amount of time. Most of the time, however,
these attractions are just presented "as is" with no cost for entering
or prize for escaping. Although many are not void of a customized
souvenir shop, selling various knick-knacks such as "I survived the
Maize Maze" t-shirts and overpriced photographs.
Some of the most impressive maize mazes can be seen in the
Fields of
Frotzen, although the Monstrous Maze of
Mizniaport has been known to
include a maize maze every once in a while (often making a maze that
can trump the size of nearly any other locally produced one). A certain
farmer in the Fields of Frotzen attempted to make his maze a little
trickier every year.
