Find your way through Barcelona
mapsmaze is a free map puzzle game on the real streets of Barcelona. Study the map for a few seconds, then find your way to the address from memory, junction by junction, like a maze made of a real city.
Where you play
Letters in Barcelona start in the Eixample, around Passeig de Gràcia, on the city's real street map from OpenStreetMap.
Barcelona's streets
The Eixample is a near-perfect grid of square blocks with their corners cut off, so every junction is a small octagonal plaza. It looks simple until you realise every block looks the same: count the streets you cross, and keep an eye on the long diagonal Avinguda Diagonal.
How a round goes
- Study the map. You see the streets of Barcelona, where you start and where the letter goes, for a few seconds.
- Walk it from memory. The map goes away and you're in the street, at street level. Choose a street at each junction and run to the next one.
- Deliver the letter. Points for a direct route and a quick one; every peek back at the map costs 50.
Play in Barcelona In your browser, on a phone or a computer. No download, no sign-up needed.
New players pick 3 cities to start with, so you can choose Barcelona straight away. Delivering letters earns stamps, which open more cities. The daily letter, the same for everyone, is set in one of the game's cities, and it could be this one.
