The Waxguard

How to Play

• Everyone gets the same honeycomb every day. It resets at 00:00 UTC, for everyone, at once.
• This maze runs on true hexagonal cells — up to six neighbors and six possible directions at every junction, not the usual four.
• Bumping into a wall releases alarm pheromone. Clean, correct movement never adds any — it only builds from mistakes.
• Pheromone fades on its own if you stop bumping. Cross a threshold, though, and a guard bee starts hunting — path-finding straight toward you.
• Stop bumping and let the pheromone fade back down, and the guard gives up and returns to the hive. If it ever catches you, you're back at the start.
• Reach the queen's chamber at the heart of the hive to finish.
• Pick a level, Beginner through Extreme, on top of the day's difficulty. Higher levels grow the honeycomb and speed up the guard bee.
• Up/Down arrows move NW/SE; hold Shift with Up/Down for NE/SW. Left/Right move W/E. Or use Q/E/A/D/Z/C for all six directions directly, no modifier needed.
