The Hedge Maze is one of the most thrilling limited-time events in 99 Nights in the Forest. Introduced as part of the Halloween Carnival Update, this maze isn’t just about navigation, it’s about survival.
You’ll have to collect tickets, avoid monsters, and find your way to the center to claim an exclusive reward.
Here’s a complete guide on how to enter, survive, and complete the maze before the event ends.

Once Day 3 arrives, a carnival area will appear near the forest clearing.
You’ll find several mini-game booths, food stalls, and the ominous maze entrance, which remains locked until you gather the required tickets.
How to Get Tickets for the Hedge Maze
Before entering the maze, you need three tickets.
These are earned by completing carnival mini-games scattered around the event area.
Each game you finish rewards:
-
1 Maze Ticket
-
Bonus Candy (used for small event rewards)
Once you collect all three tickets, head back to the maze entrance and press E to unlock it.
How to Complete the Maze in 99 Nights in the Forest
After entering, you’ll find yourself surrounded by tall, leafy walls and narrow paths.
The Hedge Maze is designed to disorient you, so rushing won’t help.
Here’s a step-by-step strategy:
-
Use the Left-Wall Strategy
Stick to the left wall as soon as you enter and keep following it. This classic maze technique will eventually lead you to the center without getting permanently lost. -
Watch for Clues and Signs
Some corridors have subtle signs or glowing arrows. These can guide you toward smaller chests or shortcut routes, though some may mislead you. -
Loot Side Rooms
Occasionally, you’ll find doors that lead to side rooms. Some contain bonus chests with candy and extra loot, while others may hide monsters. Open carefully and be ready to run. -
Avoid Monsters
Several hostile entities wander the maze. Smaller ones can be defeated, but the Deer monster is nearly unstoppable. If it spots you—run immediately. Don’t try to fight it. -
Find the Center
Continue your path until you reach a distinct open area—the center of the maze. You’ll recognize it by its eerie lighting and the main reward chest in the middle. -
Claim Your Reward
Open the chest to receive the Bouncing Blade, a limited-edition weapon only obtainable during the event. It will automatically appear in your inventory, so make sure you have space. -
Exit the Maze
After claiming the prize, look for the glowing exit portal. This will return you to the carnival area.
Tips to Survive the Maze
-
Bring Healing Items: You might take damage from monsters or traps, so come prepared.
-
Use Headphones: Some monsters can be heard before they appear, giving you time to react.
-
Play in Third Person: This gives better visibility around corners.
-
Avoid Panic Running: Sprinting too early can attract monsters faster.
