Find your way through Chicago
mapsmaze is a free map puzzle game on the real streets of Chicago. 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 Chicago start in the Loop, on the city's real street map from OpenStreetMap.
Chicago's streets
The Loop is a tidy grid of long blocks bounded by the river and the lake. Every street looks like the last, so count blocks, and use the river's edge as your wall.
How a round goes
- Study the map. You see the streets of Chicago, 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 Chicago 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 Chicago 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.
