⚙️ Batch Maze Creation with Time Saver – Custom Rows, Presets, and Layouts

Generate multiple types of pipe mazes in one session using presets and advanced control


📦 Required Modules


🛠️ Preparation

Before you begin:

  • Use Puzzle Maker Pro v2025.10 or later
  • Open the Pipe Mazes module
  • Make sure the Time Saver tab is visible (only included with the Creators Bundle)

Important: First, create and save a few custom presets in the Pipe Mazes module. These will be used in the Time Saver grid.


🧩 Step-by-Step: Use Time Saver to Batch Create Multiple Maze Types

1. Create and Save Your Presets (REQUIRED FIRST STEP)

  • Configure your desired pipe maze settings: grid size, curve, fake paths, path width, etc.
  • Go to the Tools menu or preset dropdown
  • Click Save Preset
  • Name your preset descriptively (e.g., Curved Easy 10x10, Boxy Medium 20x20)

These presets will now appear in the Time Saver interface.


2. Open the Time Saver Tab

  • In the Pipe Mazes interface, switch to the Time Saver tab
  • You’ll see an empty instruction table where each row controls a batch of puzzles

3. Add Instructions Using Rows

Click Add Row to begin. Each row becomes a batch instruction:

You can either:

  • Use the current default settings from the main interface
    OR
  • Load settings from one of your saved presets (recommended)

Each row includes the following editable fields:

FieldPurpose
PresetLoad grid size, path width, curve, meander, fake paths, etc.
QuantityNumber of puzzles to generate in that batch
Rows / ColumnsOverride the grid size
Random Start / FinishToggle for automatic maze entry/exit points
Meander LevelControls how winding the path is
Fake PathsAdds visual complexity
Path WidthSets the pipe thickness
Curved PathCheck to enable curved style (uncheck = straight)

You can edit any field directly. Fields not edited will inherit the values from the selected preset.


4. Organize the Instruction Table

Use the available row controls:

  • 🗑 Delete Row: Remove selected batch
  • 🔁 Clear All: Reset the table
  • ⬆⬇ Move Up / Down: Reorder rows to control generation sequence

💡 Tip: Organize your instructions so similar layouts export together — useful when combining into a book.


5. Set Output Format

  • Switch to Output Settings tab
  • Choose your export format: PDF (book), PNG, JPG, or SVG
  • Optional: Use Instant Puzzle Books to define trim size, margins, and layout

6. Click “Create (TS)”

Once your instruction table is filled:

  • Click Create (TS) to run the full batch
  • Puzzle Maker Pro will:
    • Apply each row’s settings
    • Generate the specified number of puzzles per row
    • Apply any Instant Puzzle Book settings (if enabled)

📂 Output will be saved automatically in your chosen folder, sorted by your layout preferences.


🎉 Outcome

You’ve just used Time Saver to:

  • Run multiple batch instructions in one click
  • Mix and match styles, grid sizes, path types, and difficulty levels
  • Output all puzzles — optionally formatted into a full puzzle book

Ideal for:

  • Publishing diverse KDP puzzle books
