Dave Phillips (maze designer)

Dave Phillips (born May 7, 1951 in Macclesfield, England) is a maze and puzzle designer, with over three dozen books to his credit, including his most recent The Zen Of The Labyrinth—Mazes For The Connoisseur. In addition to books, Dave has provided puzzles for many publications such as Reader's Digest, Die Zeit, Highlights, Ranger Rick, Omni, National Geographic World, Games, Scientific American, and United Features Syndicate. He has also created jigsaw puzzle mazes for Hallmark and die cut puzzle mazes for DaMert. Dave has designed and produced more than sixty electronic puzzle and logic titles for CD-i, Smart Games, eGames, and others. He and partner Rob Hafey own eBrainyGames, an electronic game development company.

Since 2000 Dave has partnered with Hugh McPherson of MaizeQuest, a corn maze company, to design corn mazes, interactive games, and walk-through mazes (such as bamboo, hedge, and fence) for locations throughout the United States, Canada, and England.

Dave and his family emigrated from England to Maryland, USA in 1960 when he was nine years old. He became a naturalized citizen at age twenty five. One year later he created his first book, Graphic and Op Art Mazes.

He has been known to go by the moniker RNMF and his favorite retort is BIOYA.
