Scrambled Maps
In September I launched a brand new each day map problem referred to as Scrambled Maps. TripGeo then enhanced my authentic recreation by introducing choices to outline the variety of map tiles and to play with random cities. Scrambled Maps has since develop into TripGeo’s hottest recreation. As an illustration, simply yesterday, it was performed over 1,000 instances by individuals throughout the globe.
TripGeo’s Scrambled Maps has shortly develop into my very own favourite morning ritual. In case you’re a fan of puzzles, geography, or just love exploring the world from the consolation of your private home, this recreation would possibly simply develop into one in every of your favourite each day challenges too.
Every day, Scrambled Maps presents you with a map of a unique metropolis from across the globe. However right here’s the twist: all of the map tiles are scrambled! Your job is straightforward but charming – drag the tiles again into their appropriate positions to revive the map to its authentic state. You’re then awarded factors primarily based on the variety of turns it took you to finish the puzzle.
Any Map Puzzle
Scrambled Maps attracts inspiration from the basic Victorian recreation 15 Puzzle, which consists of a wood body containing 15 numbered sq. tiles (1 to fifteen) and one unoccupied area. This empty area allowed gamers to slip tiles horizontally or vertically to rearrange them.
In Scrambled Maps, I eliminated the clean sq. and allowed gamers to swap any map tile with some other tile within the body, making gameplay extra versatile and accessible.
Nonetheless, for those who’re a fan of the unique 15 Puzzle, then you definitely would possibly favor the brand new on-line recreation Any Map Puzzle, which strictly adheres to the basic format. It options 15 sq. tiles and one unoccupied place (although completely different body sizes are additionally accessible). On this recreation, as a substitute of rearranging numbers, you’re tasked with rearranging map tiles.
As a result of your strikes in Any Map Puzzle are restricted to sliding adjoining tiles into the unoccupied place, finishing this recreation will be considerably more difficult than fixing a recreation of Scrambled Maps.
OSM 15 Puzzle
For followers of the unique Victorian puzzle, there’s additionally the OSM 15 Puzzle recreation. Like Any Map Puzzle, this on-line scrambled map recreation sticks to the normal guidelines, limiting your actions to sliding adjoining tiles into the empty sq. on the map board.
Gamers can choose from all kinds of scrambled maps by clicking the map marker icon subsequent to the sport board. Choices embody the world, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Aegean Sea, Eire, South Korea, Tasmania, Lesotho, Hawai‘i, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Barcelona, London, Schiphol, Haneda, Paris, The Pentagon, MoMA in New York Metropolis, Shibuya Station, and St. Peter’s Basilica.
