How it works

A strategy game
on the real map.

Conquer, build, run an economy, scout, fight. Four systems interlock, all live in the current build.

01Conquest & empire

Conquer real territory

Draw borders, claim ground, your routes become your realm. But watch out: unmaintained land decays daily. No "claim once, keep forever".

02Build & economy

Build out your empire

Raise structures with real function: teleporters for fast travel, radar for scouting, garrisons for defense. Resource buildings extract whatever the real biome beneath you offers, even offline.

Teleporter Garrison & shield Biome extraction Multiple currencies
03Recon & concealment

Scout before you strike

Three Anno-style fog-of-war tiers: unexplored, explored, active. Scouts reveal the map piece by piece, their range grows with your level. Plus espionage radar, silent zones and traps for the ambush.

04Combat

Fight for every patch of ground

Duels in the 1v1 arena, large battles with deployed troops. NPC enemies spawn biome-driven on the real map, so the world is full even without other players. Plus defense mini-games, airstrikes and hacks.

Streifzug mode

The app stays sharp in the background. As you go about your day, things happen: a treasure glints by the path, a mercenary joins you, a hostile squad stops you. One push, you decide in seconds.

On standby, the game comes to you, wherever you are.

Manifesto

We believe the real world is the best board. That strategy grips harder than collecting. That your location belongs to you, not a data broker. And that the greatest adventure starts right outside your door.

From the founder

I built MapRaiders because GPS games either push you to your wallet or leave you alone. Here every step shapes real territory, you build an empire, and no data broker sells your route.

What beta testers say
From the closed beta

I walk the dog around the block anyway, now I claim my neighborhood while I'm at it and hold it against the neighbors. The dog walk became a border war.

Ron C.
Dog owner, beta tester
From the closed beta

I plan my routes like a campaign now: build radar first, then take the rival's open flank. No other game makes my city this exciting.

Vivian N.
Avid gamer, beta tester
From the closed beta

Uncovering the fog of war and seeing where the rival is weak is addictive. I play MapRaiders like chess, except the board is my city.

No. Movement is just the input. MapRaiders is a strategy game: conquer, build, run an economy, scout and fight. It is about power and empire, not calories.

How do territories work?

You claim ground by physically moving across it, whether on foot, by bike or walking the dog. Unmaintained land decays daily (decay), so the map stays contested.

Is it free? On which platform?

Fully free and ad-free, with no hidden costs. Currently on Android, the beta is live. An iOS version is in development.

How is it different from Pokemon GO?

No augmented reality and no data broker in the background. Instead real conquest, building, economy and combat, plus respectful handling of your location.

What is Streifzug mode?

An upcoming mode: the app reacts to your movement in the background and sends you spontaneous encounters by push. In development, not yet playable.
