A good in-game map isn’t just a navigation tool — it’s a visual identity. From sprawling fantasy continents to compact multiplayer arenas, maps leave a lasting impression. But how well do you remember the worlds you’ve explored?
This quiz dares you to recognize games based only on their maps — no characters, no HUDs, just geography. Can you spot Skyrim’s mountainous terrain from a bird’s-eye view? Or pick out Vice City by its neon coastlines and sharp block structure? How about recognizing Hyrule from its shrines and lakes?
Maps tell stories. The broken, scorched layout of Dark Souls’ Lordran conveys its decayed beauty. The symmetrical structure of Overwatch maps reflects their competitive design. Open-world RPGs like The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2 use maps not just for tracking, but as world-building devices.
Hardcore explorers will breeze through terrain from Elden Ring or Fallout: New Vegas, while casual gamers might better recall familiar paths in Minecraft or GTA V. Each map is carefully chosen to trigger a spark of memory — “I’ve been there before!”
Whether you’re a lore junkie, speedrunner, or someone who just loves opening their map too often, this challenge is for you. Let’s see how strong your internal compass really is — can you recognize these iconic game worlds by nothing but their outlines?
