Answer: SEEKING
Solve the maze to get to the cheese:
The path spells a message: "READ TURNS IN ASCII LEFT TURNS BECOME ZERO KEEP EACH RIGHT AS THE NUMBER ONE GOOD LUCK". As indicated, follow the turns of the path, recording each left turn as a 0 and each right turn as a 1:
011011100110100101101110011101000110100001101100011001010111010001110100011001010111001001110011Read in ASCII, this says "ninthletters". So, taking every 9th letter in the original message spells "READ TURN[S] IN ASCII L[E]FT TURNS B[E]COME ZERO [K]EEP EACH R[I]GHT AS THE [N]UMBER ONE [G]OOD LUCK", i.e., "SEEKING".
