🏅PioneerHere before almost anyone.When ExplorersMap passed its hundredth explorer, the ten most active accounts were given this pill permanently. They were marking countries and filling in regions when the leaderboard was nearly empty and nobody was watching. It is our way of saying thank you to the people who made the place feel alive first.Awarded once, by hand. Never again.
🧭FounderBuilt the place.Worn by the person who built ExplorersMap. There is exactly one, it is not going anywhere, and it mostly exists so you know who to blame for the bugs.Not earnable.
🪙PathfinderKeeps the lights on.ExplorersMap runs on a real server that costs real money, and it is free for everyone who uses it. Pathfinders are the people who decided to pay for it anyway. The pill is the visible half of the thank-you - the invisible half is that the site stays free for everyone else. It also lifts the MCP fair-use limit, and you can hide it in Account settings if you would rather support quietly.EUR 2 a month. →
Explorer levelEarned by marking the world. You have 0 XP.
NoviceEveryone starts here.Your map is blank and the entire world is still ahead of you. Mark one country and you are already moving.Where every account begins.
ExplorerYou have been somewhere.Roughly five countries, or one country explored properly down to its regions. The map has stopped looking empty.500 Explorer XP
AdventurerThe map is filling in.Enough of the world is yours that someone can tell what kind of traveller you are from a glance at your map.2,000 Explorer XP
GlobetrotterContinents, plural.You are not collecting countries any more, you are collecting continents - and the gaps left on your map are starting to look deliberate.7,500 Explorer XP
VoyagerRarely seen.Most accounts never come close. Getting here takes either years of genuine travel or an unusually good memory and a long evening with the region map.20,000 Explorer XP
LegendThe top of the ladder.The highest Explorer level there is. If you are reading this from the other side of it, we probably owe you another one.50,000 Explorer XP
Explorer rankEarned by playing. You have 0 Renown.
🍃DrifterJust passing through.Everyone begins as a Drifter. Play a daily quiz or a round of anything at all and you will not be one for long.Where every account begins.
👣WandererYou keep coming back.The games have stopped being a curiosity and started being a habit.300 Renown
🧭WayfarerYou know where you are going.You have a favourite game, a personal best that annoys you, and probably a streak you are protecting.800 Renown
⛵VoyagerSerious mileage.Reached by people who play properly rather than occasionally. Not to be confused with the Voyager travel level - same word, different ladder.1,800 Renown
🗺️NavigatorCould do this blindfolded.At this point the world map is muscle memory and you are competing with yourself.3,600 Renown
🏴PioneerVery few make it.A long climb - the thresholds were deliberately doubled so this rank would keep meaning something. Not to be confused with the Pioneer pill above, which is a different thing entirely.7,000 Renown
📜CartographerThe end of the ladder. So far.The highest rank currently in the game. Whoever reaches it first gets to tell us what the next one should be called.13,000 Renown
