The Problem

What's Missing from Territory Games Today?

Most territory games are digital abstractions. You click on a map to capture zones, but nothing about it feels real. The territories are arbitrary, battles are automated, and you watch the outcome rather than influence it. Where's the skin in the game? Where's the actual investment?

MapRaiders flips this entirely. Territory is tied to real GPS coordinates. To claim an area, you must physically be there. To defend it, you must actively respond. Your territory is an expression of your real physical presence in urban space, and that gives every battle genuine weight. This is what territory gaming should have always been.

The Solution

How the Territory System Works

Claim by Walking

Walk through any street or area, your GPS position is recorded and the territory is registered under your name. Simple, direct, real. No tapping, no grinding.

Holding Ground

Your territory stays yours, even when you are not out for a while. You can only lose it to another player who takes it from you.

Interactive Defence

Planned: an attack takes only what it walks around. Your route choices matter, walk the ground you want to hold.

Clan Territories

Clans that claim territory together hold stronger blocks. Clan-owned areas require coordinated multi-player attacks to break. Collective power amplifies individual reach.

FAQ

Quick Answers

How does territory claiming work?
You walk, run, or cycle through any street and your GPS position claims that territory. It appears on the live map under your name and stays yours until another player takes it from you.
Can I lose territory?
Only to another player who takes it from you. It does not disappear because you were not out for a while.
What happens during an attack?
The attacker must physically walk to your territory. An attack takes only what it walks around, and one new lap of your own is enough to hold it. Movement beats raw time investment.
Can a clan control territory together?
Yes. Clans form organically and can jointly claim large territory blocks. Clan-owned territory is more resilient, it requires coordinated multi-player attacks to break. Teamwork multiplies your reach on the map.
Is MapRaiders a mobile territory game?
Yes. MapRaiders runs in the browser as an open beta, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. It uses your phone's GPS to track movement and claim territory in real-time. The interface shows a live map of your city with all active territories visible.
Two worlds, one game

What you can do in MapRaiders

MapRaiders joins two worlds. Outside, you claim real streets and squares on the GPS map, on foot, running or by bike. Inside, you collect cards, build a deck around your commander and play in the arena, at home or away. Land you walk is meant to bring you cards.

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.
