Mapster
What is Mapster?
Mapster is a geography game that challenges your memory of world borders. Instead of naming or locating countries, you draw their outlines from scratch. The goal is to match your sketch to the country's actual borders as closely as possible.
Perfect for a coffee break—just don’t blame me if your France looks like a squashed potato.
A fun way to test your mental atlas, but the real challenge is remembering where the Balkans actually start.
It’s like the opening credits of a travel show—you think you know the shape, then the twist hits.
How to play Mapster
You are presented with a country to draw on a blank canvas. Using your mouse or finger, you trace what you believe the outline looks like. Your drawing is then compared to the real border, showing you how close your attempt was.
Tips & strategy

- Sketch the overall shape first, then refine the details.
- Consider the country's neighbors to help anchor its size and position.
- Remember that natural borders often follow rivers or mountains.
