You sit alone. Your thumb scrolls. A heart here, a heart there. None of it is real. Nobody knows your face. Nobody shares your path.

Real Encounter

Two people meet on the map. A laugh. A handshake. A story that lasts. That's worth more than any timeline.

Real encounters are worth more than a thousand likes.

Echos

Leave an Echo

You walk down an unfamiliar street. Your phone vibrates softly. A message — from someone who was here before you. A voice. A photo. A secret.

And now imagine: you leave one. At your favourite spot. Someone will find it. And wonder...

What if adventure
comes to you?

We believe that real encounters are worth more than a thousand likes. That the street is the better social network. That adventures await right outside your door — not behind a screen. And that you are ready for them.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MapRaiders?

MapRaiders is a free outdoor social app for Android. Players claim real-world territories by walking, running, or cycling, leave location-bound messages called Echos, and meet other users through live map events.

How do territories work in MapRaiders?

Players claim territories by physically moving through areas. Claimed land appears in the player's colour on a real map. Other players can challenge territories through Defence Games — Tic-Tac-Toe, Rock-Paper-Scissors, or Mini-Chess.

What are Echos in MapRaiders?

Echos are location-based messages — audio recordings, photos, or videos — left at real-world locations. Other users discover them when they visit the same spot.

Is MapRaiders free?

Yes. MapRaiders is completely free with no ads and no hidden costs.

On which platforms is MapRaiders available?

MapRaiders is currently available for Android as an APK download on mapraiders.com. An iOS version is in development.

How is MapRaiders different from Pokémon GO?

Unlike Pokémon GO, MapRaiders has no augmented reality or virtual creatures. It focuses on real territory ownership, physical exploration, and actual in-person encounters between players. MapRaiders is also completely ad-free.

From the Founder
I built MapRaiders because GPS games either force your wallet or leave you alone. Here every step shapes real territory — and every map becomes the social network of your city.

My dog loves his walk — and I love that every walk makes my neighbourhood more visible on the map. I've conquered my whole street now.

I jog every morning anyway. With MapRaiders every route has a goal: hold ground or reclaim it. My cardio drive has exploded.

Dropping Echoes and watching who finds them is like an open scavenger hunt through the whole city. I discover corners I'd never seen.
