Everything you need to conquer the real world — pixel by pixel.
Mapsworn overlays a pixel-art fantasy world on the real world using your GPS location. You explore by physically walking (on a phone) or by click-to-move (on PC). You hunt monsters, gather resources, claim territory with flags, found cities, and build kingdoms.
Mapsworn is built for walking outside with a phone, but PC players are fully supported.
| Mode | How you move | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 📱 Phone | Real GPS — walk in the real world | Full freedom of the map. Anti-cheat watches GPS speed. |
| 🖥️ PC Settler | Pick a starting location, then click-to-move | You get a 🖥️ Settler badge. No GPS needed. Exempt from the speed check. |
If GPS is unavailable or you're on desktop, the game shows a "Phone or PC?" picker. Pick PC, drop a pin anywhere on Earth, and you play from there with click-to-move. If your account ever gets locked by a GPS misdetection, logging back in offers a one-click "switch to PC Settler mode" that unbans you.
Tap a monster to engage. Combat is automatic — you trade hits every ~1.5s until one side dies. Hostile monsters within 30m auto-aggro you.
web (slows), heal, lifesteal, cast (ranged), death_dmg (hits you when it dies).Death is forgiving — you keep your level, all equipment, gold, and inventory. You only lose 3% of your current Pages, then instantly respawn at full HP where you fell.
You don't auto-level. You collect Pages from kills, then visit a Monk in any city and spend Pages + Food to level up. Each level costs more Pages (×1.35 per level) and more Food.
50 × 1.35^(level-1). Food cost ≈ 2 + level×1.6.Every level grants +1 skill point. At level 10 you choose a specialization.
Spend skill points (1 per level) on passive skills. Re-spec is not free — choose wisely.
| Skill | Max | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Hunter's Eye | 3 | +10% rare drop chance per rank |
| Scavenge | 5 | +15% gold from kills per rank |
| Triumph | 3 | Heal 5/10/15% max HP on kill |
| Focus | 3 | +1 attack per rank when below 50% HP |

| Provoke | 1 | Forces hostiles to attack you |

Monsters spawn procedurally near you. Passive ones (boar, stag, cat) won't attack first.
The world scales to you. Weak fodder always spawns (good for taming & easy Pages), but a share of nearby monsters track your level — so there's always a fair fight wherever you physically are. You can't out-travel the challenge in a GPS game, so it comes to you.

There is no "summon". You tame: fight a wild Boar, Wolf, or Spider, get it low, and land the killing blow — there's a chance it joins you as a pet. Your pet trails you and fights alongside you. Train it at the Pet Trainer in cities (feed for XP, heal, boost attack). Pets level up and can evolve.
Buy at the Stable. Mounts extend your movement range and show on your hero sprite.
| Mount | Range bonus | Cost | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riding Horse | +300m | 1,500g | uncommon |
| Battle Boar | +400m | 2,500g | rare |
| War Bear | +500m | 5,000g | epic |
Plant a flag (costs 3 leather + 3 wood) to claim a 500m territory radius. Flags are permanently yours and persist even when you walk away. Upgrade a flag with a Roc Shrine to make teleporting to it free. Flags can be hardened and defended; rival players can attack them.
Tap one of your flags on the map → TELEPORT. Costs 2 Roc Feathers (free if the flag has a Roc Shrine upgrade). Roc Feathers drop from manticores, eagles, and the Roc Nest dungeon. You can also teleport to your Manor (heals you full, free).
Found a city for 5,000g + 50 wood + 50 stone. Must be 1.5km from any other city. A city is a 600m hub with a trade post, dungeons, and ~25 services. New players get an auto-seeded ancient city (Ashenvale, Brimstead, etc.) spawned near them so there's always a hub within reach.
Tap a city to open its menu. Everything available:
Instanced wave-based runs. Need 1 torch + the level requirement + a weekly cooldown per dungeon. Bigger dungeons = bigger rewards.

Found a kingdom for 10,000g + 100 brick + 100 stone + 100 wood (level 5+). A kingdom is a player faction with a shared bank and members. Build city walls to defend territory. Scheduled kingdom-vs-kingdom war is on the roadmap.
