Contributing Authors
Monkey Maze could not have been created without the contribution of numerous authors that have dedicated their valuabe time and resources over decades to create the challenges in each adventure.
Below is a list adventures and gamesets that Monkey Maze uses along with the respective author’s contact information and any messages that they want to pass along.
For many authors, the gamesets they have created have a personal meaning where some of their puzzles will even have a story behind their creation. While we can’t put all thier information into Monkey Maze, we hope that you will look through the list and even seek out the authors to let them know about the puzzles you found interesting or challenging.
A lot of work has gone into this project and we sincerely hope that you enjoy the adventures of Monkey Maze and… push on!
