Is it difficult to get out of the maze?

Stretching over twenty-two acres, the Honeypot Farms Corn Maze is the largest in New England! It can certainly be challenging, but that’s the fun!

What’s the average time it takes to exit the maze?

It ranges. We’ve had folks find their way out in under an hour; others are still in there.

What if I don’t make it out before Honeypot Farms closes?

We strongly suggest building a shelter and a fire before nightfall. The temperature really drops inside the maze and, from what we understand, securing a campsite can be contentious.

Is there crime inside the maze?

We wish we were immune to typical corn-maze problems, but we aren’t. Crime is a persistent issue, particularly theft, assault, and kidnapping. While we’re doing everything we can to contain these threats, please be vigilant and don’t invite conflict. Keep cell phones and candy apples out of plain sight at all times.

Are weapons allowed in the corn maze?

Unfortunately, there are no weapons allowed in the maze. Of course, once inside the maze, there are plenty of natural resources that can be fashioned into weapons, which wouldn’t be a terrible idea.

Can I bring outside food and beverages into the maze?

No, but our concession stand outside the maze has a great selection of fall treats and drinks. There are also many species of indigenous animals such as mice, raccoons, and snakes that you are welcome to hunt for survival. (See weapons question above.)

What if I need medical attention in the maze?

We airdrop medical supplies into the maze on Mondays and Thursdays. We ask that you do not hoard these supplies, as others in the maze need them desperately. An unfortunate consequence of these airdrops is the recent formation of a maze-wide black market—one that also deals in food, blankets, phone accessories, toiletries, and narcotics. While Honeypot Farms does not under any circumstances condone the use of drugs, we have established the Honeypot Needle Exchange Program (H.N.E.P.) to stem the rise of infectious disease.

I heard that people sometimes find the maze exit but choose not to leave.

We’ve found that some folks, after spending prolonged periods of time in the maze, do in fact experience the overwhelming sensation that they belong there. Life inside the maze begins to make sense to them in a way that their previous lives outside never did. It doesn’t take long for awareness of their former selves to completely fade away, at which point they submit fully to the maze and are, in a sense, reborn.

Do you guys have hayrides?

Sure do!

Do children need to be accompanied by adults in the maze?

Yes.

But I saw some children without adults.

If you saw unaccompanied children, it’s likely that their parents died in the maze, leaving these so-called “maze orphans” behind. Over the seasons, the orphans have banded together into a family of their own. They’re such an inspiring group of kids. You may also come across “maze babies”—children who were born inside the maze and have never actually seen the outside world.

How’s literacy inside the maze?

Regrettably, illiteracy rates have soared over the past few autumns. We’re doing our best to combat this by airdropping books and school supplies into the maze. If you are a teacher who is interested in donating some time, please let us know and we’ll drop you in as well. Even a few hours a week would be a huge help.

Are pets allowed in the maze?

Pets were spoiling the maze experience for some of our guests, so they’re no longer allowed.

What if I’ve amassed gambling debts inside the maze that I can’t possibly pay off ?

You certainly wouldn’t be alone. An illicit gambling syndicate has plagued the maze in recent years. You won’t have to walk far to see a crowd huddled around a game of Niblitz, a popular dice game that uses dried corn kernels marked with raccoon blood.

Is it true there are warlords in the maze?

Boy, are there. Warlords have come into power over the past few seasons and have amassed considerable followings during that time. Perhaps the most notorious of the bunch is the one they call the Crow. He earned his name from the ghastly manner in which he patrols the labyrinth—with a screeching murder of leashed crows clutched in his hand. He is rumored to have an army of two dozen fiercely loyal maze-goers to whom he provides shelter, food, and protection in the maze.

Is there a place inside the maze to bury the dead?

Northeast corner by our Honeypot Farms scarecrow, Farmer Fiddlesworth.
