Why we made Mapventure

Ticket to Ride is Meer's favorite board game. He loves watching Mommy and Daddy play. Meer wanted to join in without all the complexity, so Mommy and Daddy built this simpler version for Meer and his friends.

Start with the ready-made board or customize the places below, then print it and build it together.

The places in their world

Home is always on the board. Add 5–16 more — named the way your kid says them.

Anchors the map — stays on this computer.

Only makes placement more exact. Used only when you generate — never for suggestions. We do not log, print, or retain it; the field clears after a successful board.

A town, zip, or landmark is plenty — type “Dublin” and we'll know you mean the one near you. For a school, library, park or store, tap suggest and we'll name a real one nearby — accept it or edit.

Every place needs only a name your kid knows — then roughly which way it is from home, and how far.
