How AI is used
Some character artwork and promotional visuals are pre-generated using generative AI tools, then selected, edited and integrated by the developer as fixed image assets. AI-assisted developer/admin research may also be used to draft property information; proposed changes require an administrator's review before publication. Players do not generate AI images, audio, dialogue or code during gameplay. There is no live generative AI assistant or player-facing generative AI service in the game.

About Own The Map
EARLY ACCESS — ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
Own The Map is a playable development build, not a finished product. Features, balance and rewards may change and bugs may occur. Fictional gameplay progress, currency and property ownership may be adjusted or reset during major testing or to protect the game economy; progress is not guaranteed to remain permanent. The in-game Active Playtest/development notices refer to this Early Access state. Please read the Early Access information above before buying.
Own The Map turns the real world into a persistent online property strategy game. Explore the map, claim fictional game properties at real locations, improve them and build an empire that keeps earning while the shared world changes around you.
BUILD A PROPERTY EMPIRE
Start with houses, then expand into apartments, shops, offices, car parks, hotels, transport hubs and major venues. Every purchase is a fictional game asset only. Balance income, maintenance, upgrades, licences and cash reserves as your portfolio grows.
STAY ACTIVE
Run optional Tenant Viewing Rush contracts, dispatch Police and Fire services, manage hotels, airports, rail and parking, hunt for treasure and react to city events. Normal property income continues while active contracts add skill-based bonus rewards.
PRESTIGE AND COLLECT
Prestige to restart the property climb with permanent progression. Each Prestige awards three in-game cards that apply automatic category-wide income boosts. Duplicate cards stack, licences survive Prestige, and the rare Mythical World Deed boosts all property income.
PLAY TOGETHER
Add friends, join a player-run Company, coordinate through Company chat and contribute to scaled daily and weekly goals. Rewards are divided by contribution, with Company leaderboards and scheduled world events creating fresh targets.
A LIVING SHARED WORLD
Auctions, rankings, referrals, badges, careers, support tools and optional Beta access sit around one persistent account. Own The Map is designed for desktop and touch-friendly play, with light and dark modes and responsive layouts.
