I built MapWoven because I want to enjoy books with my family for years to come. My son is three as I begin this project, and I’m making it mostly for him.
My hope is that, as he grows, we can read together, follow the journeys on a map, and spend a little longer in the worlds we discover. I’m starting with the books I love and leaving room for the stories we’ll find together.
MapWoven began in 2026.
Explore at your own pace
Choose a world, move through its timeline, and tap a place or event. Open an illustration to see it full screen. Chapter references help you find your place in your own copy of the book.
Zoom into Panem’s scenery to discover its small illustrated Easter eggs. Glowing circles take you closer to events in the selected year. The discovery journal keeps the artwork and chapter references together.
The public map starts with premise-level detail. In Map options, you can reveal more or set a reading limit for each book. The Hunger Games contains violence, death, and other mature themes; choose stories and settings that suit your family.
A reading companion, with room for interpretation
MapWoven combines references, our own explanations, and original visual interpretations, including AI-assisted illustrations. It is not an official map. The books establish some places and relationships; many coordinates, city plans, borders, and landscapes are imagined.
A chapter reference supports the accompanying story detail, not every building in its illustration. Inferred locations stay labelled as interpretations. The Year 50 guide distinguishes publisher information from the retrospective account in Catching Fire.
Estimated earlier years and real-world calendar labels are editorial aids. They are not dates established by the novels.
Independent and unofficial
MapWoven is an independent fan-made project. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Suzanne Collins, Scholastic, Lionsgate, or the other creators and publishers whose works are discussed here.
The referenced books, characters, and related trademarks belong to their respective rights holders. Attribution is not a licence to reuse their work. This site offers maps, commentary, illustrations, and references; it does not provide the Hunger Games novels.

Your visit
No MapWoven account is required. The welcome animation and graphics preferences use storage on your device. There is no advertising here, and nothing on this site is shared with an advertising network or a third-party analytics company.
MapWoven does count visits, using a counter of its own. It sets no cookies, loads nothing from another company, and never stores your IP address. A visit is identified by a one-way hash of three things — a secret generated fresh each day, your address, and your browser — and that daily secret is destroyed the following day, so the identifier cannot be recreated afterwards or matched to yesterday’s. What it is for: which maps people open, which searches find nothing, and how quickly pages load on real devices rather than on a developer’s. To turn it off permanently for this browser, open mapwoven.com/?mw-count=off.
