Draw borders in the real world. In WarMaps, every walk can become territory. Expand it, build on it, trade it, or surround enemies and take even more. Play aggressively, play defensively, dominate the economy. However you play, the goal is the same: own more of the world than anyone else. Eiffel Tower. Statue of Liberty. EVERY ICONIC LOCATION ON THE PLANET IS UP FOR GRABS. Iconic real-world locations exist on the map, and every one of them can only be claimed once. Capture them, and either keep or sell for a crazy profit. THE WORLD IS YOUR BATTLEFIELD No fantasy land. WarMaps uses real streets, cities, and real places you walk every day. CLAIM REAL TERRITORY Walk a loop to capture the land inside. No waypoints, no preset locations. Merge your lands into larger zones and build your empire. Surround enemy territory to conquer it and claim its spoils. Buy territories that you cannot reach. Find new treasures each day to grow even faster. BUILD & EARN Construct buildings on your land and upgrade them for passive income. Earn coins from territory control, conquests, and time-limited treasures that appear and vanish across the real map. Set defenses so your zones stay safe while you’re offline. OWN THE ECONOMY Sell land or buy strategic spots from rivals. It’s a real player-driven market where your territory actually has value. Compete on local and global leaderboards: your neighborhood, your country, and the world. STAY IN THE FIGHT Radar alerts let you know when someone nearby makes a move. The Community Feed shows captures, expansions, trades, and everything that’s happening live. Earn titles like Landlord, Explorer, or Warlord based on how you play. Customize your empire with map colors, avatars, and celebration effects. ENGAGE IN POLITICS (beta) Run for Leader, rally support, vote, shape your national treasury, and compete in prosperity rankings. Your city is already on the map. Step outside and claim it. --- Privacy Policy & Terms of Service: https://apps.mlyyn.com/ In-app purchases: WarMaps is free to play.
