4.1.
During his lifetime, Adrian Fisher has designed over 700 mazes located in 42 different countries. He built his first one in his father’s garden in Dorset when he was very young. Fisher knows better than anyone how to get people lost. He has designed mazes for theme parks, zoos, wildlife parks, museums, shopping malls and schools. Fisher has broken the world record for creating the world’s biggest maze which is located in China.
4.2.
Fisher has visited all the mazes he has designed. When Princess Alexandra, a member of the royal family, opened his maze at Leeds Castle, Fisher was given the task of accompanying the royal visitor through it. However, he didn’t realize that the gardeners had changed the design in one place and he found he had no idea how to get out of the maze. He felt really embarrassed!
4.3.
You might think that Fisher wants people to feel lost in his mazes. Actually, that’s not true. He believes they have most fun when they explore new paths. So what makes a great maze? Firstly, a maze must be entertaining. Secondly, like an enjoyable movie, it can’t be too long. Thirdly, you should be able to find the exit just before you get annoyed or bored. A maze must be an experience which you can share with friends, family and even complete strangers.
4.4.
One of his mazes allowed Fisher to earn extra money. In 2016, the Bank of England used the picture of the maze at Blenheim Palace on the back of its new £5 note. “The bank didn’t realize I had the copyright for the maze design,” Fisher explains. “And they didn’t ask me if they could use it. That’s why the bank had to accept my price. I couldn’t possibly tell you how much it was, but it was less than the cost of printing a whole set of new banknotes.”
