Own the Map

THE WORLD IS THE BOARD

Own the Map is a persistent online property strategy game built on a living world map. Buy fictional versions of real-world buildings, develop complete streets, trade with other players and grow a local portfolio into a global empire.

BUILD YOUR EMPIRE

• Explore the world and claim available properties.
• Upgrade streets and build connected local portfolios.
• Trade through a live player market and negotiate direct deals.
• Operate hotels, cinemas, pubs, nightclubs, stadiums and transport networks.
• Complete contracts, collect cards, earn badges and climb the rankings.
• Prestige into a stronger legacy while learning an evolving economy.

ACTIVE PLAYTEST

Own the Map is still being built. Features, balancing and progression requirements may change frequently. Bugs may occur, and fictional currency, properties or progression may sometimes be adjusted or reset while the economy is tested. We will give players advance notice of planned resets whenever reasonably possible.

IMPORTANT

Own the Map is a fictional game. All money, property ownership, taxes and returns are virtual game mechanics. In-game ownership provides no ownership, rights, access or financial interest in any real building, land, address or business. Map information may be incomplete or outdated.

Some decorative game artwork and marketing visuals were created with generative-AI assistance, then selected, edited and integrated into the game by the developer.
