Find your way through Tokyo
mapsmaze is a free map puzzle game on the real streets of Tokyo. 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 Tokyo start in Shinjuku, on the city's real street map from OpenStreetMap.
Tokyo's streets
Most of Tokyo's small streets have no names; addresses go by blocks, not streets. Big roads are the landmarks and the lanes between them twist, so remember the shape of the blocks and which main road you're heading for.
How a round goes
- Study the map. You see the streets of Tokyo, 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 Tokyo 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 Tokyo 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.
