Your map grows with every adventure.

Your world: see years of outdoor exploration come together in a single map.

Your next adventure: when you record an activity in a new area, you will see new blue hexagons appearing on your world map.

Your next frontier: looking for inspiration? Look at the map and find areas where you, or the community, have no hexagons, and then go and explore there!

Unique Hexagons

If you see a blue hexagon marked with a “U”, it means something rather special:

You are currently the only Hexplora user to have visited that hexagon.

That gives you a new way to explore your map. Not just how much ground you’ve covered — but how uniquely you have explored it.

Premium feature: Unique Hexagons are available to Premium members.
