Knott’s typically adds two or three new mazes per year and removes an equal amount from the lineup.
Grimoire and Bloodline 1842 were new in 2022 and are likely to return. Origins: The Curse of Calico serves as an essential prequel storytelling tool tying together a sprawling original backstory for Scary Farm.
