Find your way through London
mapsmaze is a free map puzzle game on the real streets of London. 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 London start in Covent Garden and the West End, on the city's real street map from OpenStreetMap.
London's streets
Central London has no grid at all. Streets bend, change name halfway along, and meet at five-way junctions around little squares. The way to beat it is to remember a few big streets (the Strand, Charing Cross Road, Long Acre) and the order of the turns between them.
How a round goes
- Study the map. You see the streets of London, 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 London 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 London 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.
