For Joe Wos, the path to setting a world record is a long and twisting road. The cartoonist is now working on finishing the largest hand-drawn maze, which he hopes to complete by the end of the year.
To set this Guinness world record, Joe’s maze will have to be over 10 square metres in size, solvable and drawn by him alone. Plus, he needs to have at least five people watch him complete the maze every time he works on it. It sounds like there are quite a few boxes to check to make this crazy dream come true, but it will be well worth it for Joe, who felt it was a “lifelong goal” that he needed to achieve.
Joe has been working on the maze since July 27, and the creation is now filled with illustrations and winding paths that took a lot of careful planning.
The last step to victory after he completes the world’s largest hand-drawn maze? Getting someone to solve it! This will be quite a feat in itself, as the maze will take the average person about 40 hours to complete. So far, Joe’s family and friends have all turned down the chance to solve the maze, but he has received a few requests from strangers from around the world. Joe is now considering taking the maze on tour to give everyone a chance to solve this amazing puzzle.
